Chapter 133: Interview! (Subscribe)
Tsingshan Pharmaceutical.

There were a lot of discussions on the Internet about the imitation of "Clobacillus", but Zhang Yang had no intention of paying attention to the comments on the Internet at this time.

To be precise, ever since he learned about the "Ice River Iron Horse" incident, he has not paid attention to subsequent reports on the Internet, but has been doing what he thinks he should do step by step.

At this moment, he was completely immersed in the production process of the original "Clobazam" provided by Novartis.

have to say,

Although Novartis provided the synthesis route and technical information, it is indeed difficult to perfectly purify the original "Clobazam" step by step while ensuring the stability of each batch of drugs.

Fortunately, after half a month of repeated production, each link reached the level required by Novartis' technical data. In the end, not only was the original "Clobazam" produced 100% perfectly, but the production stability was also improved from 50% to 99%.

Looking at the drug testing report and the white pills in his hand, Zhang Yang smiled rarely.

The impurities, dissolution curves, crystal forms, ingredients, etc. are all exactly the same as those of H. Lundbeck of Denmark.

“Is this what the original Clobazam tastes like?”

"That's right, Mr. Zhang. This is the taste of the original Clobazam. Our patients are in luck now."

"According to the latest literature, the original version of 'clobazam' is 10% more effective than the Indian version, has fewer side effects on children's liver and kidneys, and does not cause accidental discharge reactions."

"To be honest, I'm a little envious of these patients."

Standing next to Zhang Yang and speaking was Wei Tian, ​​who also made a lot of efforts in the production process of "Clobazam".

Zhang Yang put away his smile and shook his head:

"Envy? Envy for nothing!"

"It's best to be healthy and not take medicine. The family members of the patients would rather not take medicine."

"That's true."

"Okay, let's apply for the consistency evaluation of generic drugs."

After the words fell, Wei Tian was stunned.

"Generic drugs? Boss, these are original drugs... We produce the same original drugs as the Danish H. Lundbeck company."

"Haha, I forgot about that. Then don't do the consistency evaluation. Just apply for approval to go on the market directly."

Clobazam produced by Denmark's H. Lundbeck company has been on the market overseas for decades, passed FDA certification very early, and also passed clinical trials in China in the early years.

Tsingshan Pharmaceutical has obtained the production authorization from Novartis. Strictly speaking, this is a localized original drug produced and sold by Tsingshan Pharmaceutical on behalf of Novartis, with production technology and patents provided by Novartis.

"Okay, boss, then I'll go prepare the materials to apply for approval!"

"Ah."

After bidding farewell to Wei Tian and returning to the office, Zhang Yang finally let go of the burden that had been weighing on his mind for days.

To be honest, he never thought about making money when producing Clobazam. He felt that since he had seen it and it was within his ability, he would help if he could.

but.

At this moment, he felt a little powerless.

Clobazam is actually very cheap among drugs for rare diseases, with a box costing only more than 300 yuan, which is affordable for most family patients.

But what about those rare disease drugs that cost hundreds of thousands, or even millions or tens of millions of dollars?
Or what about those rare diseases for which there are no drugs at all?

He thought of ALS and Cai Lei.

Over the years, it has been visibly seen that Cai Lei's ALS has become more and more serious. At the beginning, he could speak normally but had a little difficulty walking. Now he can't even speak clearly and breathing has gradually become difficult.

Faced with the disease, they don't even have any effective medicine to relieve the symptoms and can only watch themselves die step by step.

I can save patients taking Clobazam, but what about patients with other rare diseases?

Can't be saved!
"We still have to rely on the power of the country. It would be best to introduce some policies for the research and development of rare diseases to truly allow more domestic and foreign pharmaceutical companies to participate."

Zhang Yang sighed a few words, and just as he was about to check the news on the Internet, Ren Xiaomin pushed open the office door. "Zhang Yang, I just heard from Wei Tian that the original version of 'Clobazam' was successfully produced?"

As soon as he entered the door, Ren Xiaomin was a little excited.

"That's right. I asked Wei Tian to apply for production approval. Once approved, it should be able to be put on the market quickly."

"Didn't Director Kong from the Municipal Drug Administration offend me a few days ago? I think the approval process for our drug will be very quick this time, so we don't need to rush."

"We urge? Haha!"

Ren Xiaomin took a sip of tea and immediately laughed:

"Zhang Yang, you probably haven't been online for a few days. You don't know that this matter has a lot of public opinion on the Internet. Every day, many netizens @ the relevant departments, urging them to quickly solve the problem of buying medicine for patients with 'rare epilepsy'!"

"I think the relevant departments are anxious. They can't wait for our 'clobazam' to be on the market!"

Zhang Yang was slightly stunned, then he smiled.

It is actually a good thing that netizens are urging us to do so.

Seeing this, Ren Xiaomin continued:
"By the way, Zhang Yang, there is something important to tell you."

"Two or three days ago, a media outlet... CCTV to be exact called and said they wanted to interview you. They wanted to ask us about Clobazam."

"I saw that you were concentrating on the research of Clobazam, so I found a random excuse to decline."

"I think they'll call again in two days."

Zhang Yang was immediately surprised.

"CCTV? And how did they know that we were developing Clobazam?"

"We have never announced this matter to the outside world. Why did you suddenly think of interviewing us?"

Ren Xiaomin was not surprised. He had figured out the key in the past two days.

"Three days ago, Director Song from the Municipal Drug Administration called me and said that our production materials for 'clobazam' had passed the city's approval and had been sent to the General Administration for filing."

"Let me guess. Did the State Food and Drug Administration leak the information to CCTV and ask them to interview this matter?"

Zhang Yang's eyes narrowed and he nodded immediately.

"That's possible. You just said that there's a lot of public opinion online. The General Administration is probably under a lot of pressure and wants to interview us quickly and then make this matter public through CCTV."

“This way, we can positively respond to the public’s concerns and let everyone see that the General Administration is also trying to find a way to solve the problem.”

"Well, that should be it. Then Zhang Yang, shall we accept the interview?"

"Accept it, why not?"

"Announcement now will not only calm public opinion, but also give hope to those patients with rare diseases who are anxiously waiting for 'clobazam'. This is a good thing!"

Zhang Yang had almost no consideration. At present, both the production qualification approval and the research and development of "Clobazam" had been completed, and there was no need to hide it.

"However, the CCTV interview is left to you."

"I?!"

"Zhang Yang, am I not suitable?"

"What's wrong with you? You are the second in command of Qingshan Pharmaceutical. You are here to announce that Qingshan Pharmaceutical will become the first manufacturer in China to produce 'clobazam', and it is an original research drug. Isn't that good?"

"Ah?! It's not Zhang Yang, this is CCTV. I heard it's possible, it might be on the news broadcast."

"Haha, Brother Ren, that's just right for you to show off. I don't want to be famous!"
