The state encourages innovation, why should it vigorously develop generic drugs?

Therefore, in this "Opinion", it is clearly proposed that generic drugs should be included in the procurement catalogue in a timely manner, and manufacturers and brands should not be restricted, so as to promote equal competition between generic drugs with the same quality and efficacy and original research drugs; The generic drugs with the same quality and efficacy should be included in the list of drugs that can be substituted with the original drugs, marked in the instructions and labels, guided and encouraged doctors to use, and strengthened the role of pharmacists in drug allocation; At the same time, it is necessary to speed up the formulation of payment standards for medical insurance drugs, and generic drugs and original drugs with the same quality and efficacy should be paid according to the same standards.

Liu Lihong, chief pharmacist of Beijing Chaoyang Hospital, said: "Put the drugs that have passed the consistency evaluation in the procurement catalog, so that doctors can better understand which drugs have passed the consistency evaluation, another point is to let doctors give priority when prescribing drugs, it has a system that gives priority to generic drugs." Another important thing is that Medicare pays for drugs that are evaluated in accordance with consistency, and the support of such a system is actually very beneficial to promote the use of our generic drugs."

Shi Luwen, director of the Department of Pharmaceutical Management and Clinical Pharmacology at Peking University School of Pharmacy, said: "The 13th article in 2017, also specifically talks about the role of pharmacists, that is, the (prescription) opening of the name, as long as the two are exactly the same, through the consistency evaluation, we should set a policy, there are pharmacists quality inspection, can be in the same general name, choose generic drugs, the price is relatively cheap, so as to increase the proportion of hospital use."

In Beijing Chaoyang Hospital, the reporter saw that they opened a precision medicine clinic, a morning of patients, which is the country's first pharmacist to visit the drug clinic. In this hospital, the prescription prescribed by the doctor must be reviewed by the pharmacist before it can be delivered to the patient, and the role of the pharmacist is increasingly prominent in the medical behavior. We should not only allow people to use affordable high-quality drugs, but also rational drug use and precision drug use, which is the future direction.

Whether the people can use and afford high-quality generic drugs is related to whether the burden of patients can be reduced, the choice of drugs can be increased, the national health level is related to the sustainable development of the pharmaceutical industry. In order to improve the level of generic drugs, we must start with the whole chain, not only to improve the quality and efficacy of drugs from the research and development and production, but also to pave the way for the market promotion and supply security of generic drugs from the system. This New Deal from the promotion of domestic generic drugs, expand the import of drugs at the same time, it can be said that the next is a set of forced drug companies reform and innovation, enhance the competitiveness of the chess.
