Second, drug manufacturers must conduct a comprehensive inventory of sales customers. Pharmaceutical production and wholesale enterprises must strictly implement the relevant laws and regulations such as the Drug Administration Law and the Measures for the Supervision and Administration of Drug Circulation, verify the purchaser's certification, and the identity of the purchaser.

"Because of the abuse of non-controlled drugs in adolescent groups, if they are not educated and guided, they may evolve into drug abuse. This is a problem that needs attention." Yan Jiangying repeatedly emphasized. ^[3]
