In 20 years, a pound of tangerine peel sold for 3,000 yuan
Tell everyone a small power.
The Food and Drug Administration's control over the price of Chinese herbal medicines is relatively loose. Therefore, it is not uncommon for Chinese herbal medicines to be fried at sky-high prices. Not long ago, there was a thousand yuan piece of news, and today there is a thousand yuan orange peel.
When I was in school, Chinese medicine began to stir-fry. Just looked at it, the price of honeysuckle has not dropped significantly so far.
Therefore, Chinese medicine is actually not cheap, much more expensive than Western medicine.
Speaking of this, some people have to ask: Is Western medicine not expensive?
Yes. But very little. It is mainly a special drug for some rare diseases and critical diseases. These drugs are generally imported, during the patent protection period, and there is no competition with it. Coupled with the small sales volume, the cost itself is high, so basically how much price he shouts is the state of how much price.
But this is only temporary, and once the patent protection period has expired, you will see. The generic drugs on the market can be run, and its mother does not know.
In summary, my advice is that if you think it is expensive to see a doctor, you should try to choose Western medicine for treatment. Although it may not be cheap, but believe me, Chinese medicine is more expensive.
