Drug classification management

Drug classification management is an internationally accepted management method. It's based on medicine

Since the founding of the People's Republic of China,

There are tens of thousands of Chinese and Western medicines listed in China. Except for narcotic drugs, psychotropic drugs, medical toxic drugs, radioactive drugs and detoxification drugs, other drugs can be freely purchased and used in the market.

The core purpose of implementing classified management of prescription drugs and over-the-counter drugs is to effectively strengthen the supervision and management of prescription drugs to prevent consumers from misusing drugs and endangering their health due to improper self-behavior. On the other hand, by regulating the management of over-the-counter drugs, consumers are guided to conduct scientific and rational self-care.

In summary, there are three major significances: It is conducive to ensuring the safety and effectiveness of people's medication. Drugs are special commodities. It has a problem of reasonable use. Otherwise, it not only wastes drug resources, but also brings many adverse reactions to consumers. It is even life-threatening, and some may produce resistance or tolerance in the body, which may cause difficulties in later treatment. Conducive to the healthy development of the medical and health undertakings, promote the reform of the medical and health system, enhance people's awareness of self-health and self-medication, and promote the realization of the goal of "primary health care for all in China"; adjust the product structure for the pharmaceutical industry and promote the development of the pharmaceutical industry Provide good opportunities. It is conducive to gradually conforming to the internationally accepted drug management model, and it is conducive to the academic exchange of rational drug use internationally and to improve the level of drug use.

The general idea of implementing drug classification management is to run through "one core, two main lines". One core is to strengthen the supervision and management of prescription drugs and standardize the supervision and management of over-the-counter drugs to ensure the safety and effectiveness of people's medication. The two main lines are: First, to fully integrate with China's national conditions; Sixteen-character policy is gradually implemented and implemented.

I. Guiding Principles, Objectives and Basic Principles for the Implementation of Drug Classification Management

The guiding ideology is to ensure the safety and effectiveness of drug use by the people and improve the level of drug supervision and management. Establish a scientific and rational drug classification management system based on national conditions. When formulating regulations and policies, prioritize, then be specific, be comprehensive, and be classified later. Implementation must be based on full investigation and research. Do it carefully, follow the step-by-step implementation, and proceed gradually.

The goal is to start from 2000 to initially establish a classification and management system for prescription drugs and over-the-counter drugs that meet the requirements of the socialist market economic system and a new drug supervision and regulation system that is compatible with it. After several years, a more complete, Classified management system with Chinese characteristics.

The basic principle is to adopt the principle of proactive and prudent, step-by-step implementation, emphasis on effectiveness, and continuous improvement to ensure social stability and order in accordance with the reality of China s social and economic development; strengthen the supervision and management of prescription drugs; effective.

Purpose of implementing drug classification management

The purpose of implementing drug classification management is to strengthen the supervision of prescription drugs, regulate the supervision of over-the-counter drugs, change the current free drug sales situation, and ensure that people use drugs safely and effectively. Starting from drug supervision and management, this move is in line with the actual needs of China's current social and economic development, and is one of the effective regulatory measures to ensure the safety of people's medication. By formulating corresponding laws and regulations, it will gradually curb past unreasonable behaviors and guide the general public. Consumers use medicines properly and reasonably; starting from the growing consumer demand for medical care, through the implementation of drug classification management, the people are properly aware of the importance and necessity of this system, which fully reflects that this is the Party Central Committee and the State Council Correct decisions on protecting the health of the people and improving their self-care level.

3. It is imperative for China to implement a drug classification management system

When selling drugs in China's social retail pharmacies, except for special restrictions on drugs such as toxins, hemp, essences, radioactive drugs and detoxification drugs, other drugs are basically freely sold. This situation will inevitably lead to drug abuse by consumer groups, endangering people's health and lives. At the same time, due to improper use of drugs by consumers, the body will become resistant or resistant, and the dosage will increase, which will waste drug resources. At the same time, more serious consequences will directly affect the quality of our population.

China's Adverse Drug Reaction Monitoring Center has counted 717 reports of adverse drug reactions in 26 hospitals in recent years. The results show that anti-infectives (mainly antibiotics) have the highest proportion of adverse drug reactions, accounting for 41.28% of the total incidence. Among the 47 drugs that have been responded to, the published National Over-the-Counter Drug List divides 42 prescription drugs, accounting for 89.4%, 5 non-prescription drugs, accounting for 10.6%, and the adverse reactions of prescription drugs are much higher than over-the-counter drugs. These statistical reports are adverse reactions found in hospital medications and are used under the guidance of medical professionals. It is conceivable that, without the supervision and guidance of medical professionals, the seriousness of the consequences of consumers using these drugs on their own.

With the improvement of people's material, culture and living standards, the people's concept of health care will change from "health is responsible for the state" to "personal health and self-responsibility", and consumers will turn their attention and consumption to investing in self-care. Starting from the core of strengthening drug supervision and management, in order to ensure the safety and effectiveness of drug use by the people, it is imperative to establish and implement a drug classification management system.

4. The implementation of drug classification management will promote the development of China's medical and health undertakings

The Central Committee of the Communist Party of China and the State Council proceeded from the reality of China's social and economic development and made a decision to establish and improve the classification and management system for prescription drugs and non-prescription drugs. This decision is to meet the actual needs of the development and deepening of the reform of the socialist market economy system in China, to accelerate the healthy development of the medical and health undertakings, to improve the drug supervision and management system, and to ensure the safety and effectiveness of drug use by the people; Enhance people's awareness of self-care and self-medication, reduce national and personal medical expenses, and meet people's objective requirements for medical care consumption at different levels; it is to make full use of and rational use of social medical and health resources and medicine resources to achieve China's " The important goal of Everyone has primary health care is an important opportunity to accelerate the adjustment of the product structure of the Chinese pharmaceutical industry, improve the quality of medicines, promote the development of the pharmaceutical industry and expand the market for medicines.

Drug classification management is a pioneering systematic project in China, which is still in its infancy and involves a wide range of issues and complex situations. At the same time, China has a large population, great cultural differences, continuous social and economic development, and regional differences that continue to expand and coexist; the contradiction between continuous deepening of reforms and unmatched reforms restricting development; the current market sales and the traditional purchase of drugs by the people Habits are ingrained. These circumstances will objectively bring many aspects of impact on society.
