Smith shook his head and said, “Many patients themselves can’t tell whether your medicine has a clear therapeutic effect or a strong superficial symptom relief effect.
If it’s the former, it’s okay, but if it’s the latter, it’s likely to delay the treatment of the actual lesion.”
Speaking of this, Smith added, “This is like a very popular hemorrhoid suppository in China.
Some patients in the United States bought it through online shopping and black market channels, and it feels good to use it.
Moreover, it has always hoped to pass the FDA review, but we have not passed its application.
Do you know why?”
Liam Weaver asked puzzledly, “No, why?”
Smith said, “Because in our opinion, some cool and analgesic ingredients are used in that hemorrhoid suppositories, which can relieve pain, but they can only relieve pain.
In our opinion, these ingredients not only fail to really treat the lesion, but are likely to cover up the disease, thus It delays the scientific treatment of patients, so we also issued a warning some time ago reminding patients who use this medicine to pay attention to screening and not to ignore the core issues because of the alleviation of superficial symptoms.
In addition, we have also studied a certain combination tablet that used to be very popular in China.
It is said that it is a special cold medicine made of honeysuckle and forsythia combined with some Western medicine ingredients.
It can be found through our research that in that drug, there are two Western medicine ingredients that really play a therapeutic role.
One is a commonly used drug to reduce fever and analgesia, paracetamol; the other is a drug specially used to relieve allergies, rhinitis, sneezing, runny nose and other symptoms, paracetamol, which combine.
It can just treat fever, cold and runny nose.”
Speaking of this, Smith spread out his hands and said seriously and helplessly, “Mr. Weaver, I’m not deliberately targeting you or traditional medicine in the whole East.
But think about it, if your Oracle Pharmaceutical also casually uses some plant ingredients, match metformin, a Western medicine ingredient that can control blood sugar, and then declare that it is a proprietary Chinese medicine that can effectively reduce blood sugar, do you think it is possible for us to approve the market of this drug? That’s why we have always been very cautious about oriental medicine.
Medicine is a very rigorous discipline.
We must be clear and we can’t put together irresponsibly and wantonly.”
Liam Weaver also felt a little embarrassed and said bravely, “Mr. Smith, I don’t deny that there are a few so-called Chinese prescriptions or medicines that combine things.
It is indeed suspected of hanging sheep’s head and selling dog meat, but I don’t think you can put all oriental traditional medicine drugs just because you have such a case.
They are all killed with one stick.
There are still many excellent drugs in traditional oriental medicine.”
Smith nodded, “Of course I don’t deny this, but what I want to say is that even excellent traditional oriental medicine drugs must meet all the requirements of our FDA before they can enter the Chinese market.
Therefore, if your drugs want to enter the American market for sale, we must first understand all its ingredients, as well as the use and potential dangers of each ingredient.”
Liam Weaver asked rhetorically, “Well, as you just said, the ingredients of many proprietary Chinese medicines are too complicated.
Maybe not be able to explain them clearly with a few ingredients, even dozens or hundreds of them, how can they be determined one by one?”
Smith shrugged his shoulders, “If we can’t confirm one by one, we can only fail.”
Liam Weaver asked again, “Even if you know that this medicine is very effective, do you refuse to sell it on the market because you can’t fully determine the ingredients and effects?”
“Yes.” Smith said firmly, “That’s our attitude.
Even if the medicine really works, it will never go on the market until we figure it out.”
Liam Weaver couldn’t help asking, “Then don’t you think this is also a loss of the American people?”
“Loss?” When Smith heard this, he said in a somewhat contemptuous tone, “Mr. Weaver, to be honest, we in the United States have a large number of substitutes for all the oriental drugs I know so far, and they are safer and more efficient! Whether it’s about headaches, brain heat, or all organs, blood vessels and nervous system, including heart, liver, spleen, lungs and kidneys, there are all organs, blood vessels and nervous system in your traditional oriental medicine, and we have all Western medicine, and our Western treatment methods are much better than your Eastern treatment methods!!”
