Drug Cases Remind Industry to Strengthen Precursor Chemical Management

The State Food and Drug Administration spokesman Yan Jiangyan disclosed on December 8 that since April this year, after public security agencies, the Food and Drug Administration, and other departments have jointly detected and destroyed, they discovered and destroyed a compound product suspected to be illegally traded. Create a huge criminal syndicate selling **. At present, the "4.08" illicit case of illegally buying and selling drugs has been closed and transferred to judicial proceedings. At this point, the case involving a wide range of crimes, seizures of suspects, and the seizure of a large number of drug products successfully broke.
According to reports, at the end of March this year, the Yibin Food and Drug Administration of Sichuan Province received an inspection letter from the Food and Drug Administration of Jilin City, Jilin Province, asking for assistance in verifying whether the company’s Nanxi County Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd. entrusted others to Jilin Weikang Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd. Purchased 197 pieces of compound theophylline tablet and whether the medicines had reached Nanxi County Pharmaceutical Company. Yibin drug administration department checked the flow of drugs and found that Nanxi County Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd. did not have the records of the purchase and sale of the drugs. After an unannounced visit by the drug supervisors, the company’s coffers did not have the drugs, and the products were most likely to flow into illegal channels. Subsequently, the public security and drug administration departments continued to inquire deeply on the clues of illegally embezzling, applying the legal qualifications of Nanxi County Pharmaceutical Co., fraudulently buying, and buying out compound preparations containing ***, and found and completely destroyed 21 provinces, districts, and cities involved in the country. A large criminal group suspected of manufacturing, trafficking, and illegally buying and selling illicitly manufactured products destroyed five mega-drug gangs, arrested 85 criminal suspects, slandered *** illegal processing sites and 8 processing factories, and seized * ** 44 tons of compound preparations, *** 415 kilograms, ** 955 grams, and drug resources 18.20 million yuan.
It is understood that *** is an important raw material for manufacturing **. In China, *** was included in the administration of pharmaceutical precursor chemicals and was strictly regulated by the drug regulatory authorities. At present, the production and operation of precursor chemicals for pharmaceuticals must be approved by the drug regulatory authorities; the single preparations of precursor chemicals for pharmaceuticals should be distributed by designated manufacturers of drugs, and retail sales must not be allowed; purchase of pharmaceutical precursor chemicals Products must be approved by the drug regulatory authority; import and export, transport of pharmaceutical precursor chemicals must be approved by the relevant departments.
Yan Jiangyun said that these strict practices have effectively standardized the production, management and use of pharmaceutical precursor chemicals in China. If criminals do not get *** from these channels, they will instead use the idea of ​​containing compound preparations. Compound preparations containing *** are very common daily drugs, and even some non-***. The lawbreakers resorted to a large number of fraudulent purchases and purchases of compound preparations containing ***, and then raised them out, and then went to manufacture **.
For this reason, the State Drug Administration Department regards compound preparations containing *** as the subject of strict supervision. Since 2007, the state has stepped up the sales verification of compound preparations containing steroids, and has effectively standardized sales channels for compound preparations containing ***. At the same time, on the basis of safeguarding the needs of the public for drug use, scientific approval of the purchase of raw material drugs will be used to rationally control the total production of compound preparations containing ***. When the company sells compound preparations containing ***, it must strictly verify the qualifications of the purchaser, issue notes in accordance with the regulations, strictly implement the system of reviewing the outbound warehouse, prohibit cash transactions, and limit retail sales.
The success of the “4.08” project was smashed, and the criminal activities of the illegal sale and purchase of compound preparations containing steroids were heavily attacked. However, the current situation of drug abuse and drug control is still severe. Yan Jiangxuan stated that all levels of drug administration departments can't reduce the severity of investigations and punishments for violations of laws and regulations. The inspection and discovery of pharmaceutical production and sales enterprises that violated the relevant regulations and sold drug products containing ***-type compound preparations were severely investigated and dealt with in accordance with laws and regulations. The enterprises that caused the combination of ***-type compound preparations to flow into illicit channels will be revoked their pharmaceutical production licenses or drug operating licenses, and will be transferred to public security organs for enterprises suspected of having violated the criminal law.
In order to strengthen the management of precursor chemicals, and regulate the production, operation, purchase, transportation, import, and export of precursor chemicals, and prevent precursor chemicals from being used for manufacturing, China established in 2005 The Regulations on the Administration of Precursor Chemicals clearly prohibits the smuggling or illegal disposal of precursor chemicals. The regulations listed the varieties of precursor chemicals and the *** substances were listed in the first category of precursor chemicals with the highest degree of supervision. Since 2007, China has successively issued the "Guidelines for the Approval of the Purchase of Raw Material Drugs of Class ***" and the "Notice on Strengthening the Management of the Sale of Some Compound Drugs Containing Special Products", and further strengthened the distribution link. Supervision of preparations.
