Since the launch of the new crown special drug Palo Verde tablets produced by Pfizer has been the focus of the topic, especially since february 12, the State Drug Administration of China approved the drug to enter the country under emergency payment conditions, and it has become the focus of everyone's attention.
1. Has the drug been used to treat AIDS? This statement is also true but not all correct, Palo Verde tablets are assembled tablets, a plate of medicine encapsulated with two different pills, one called nematvir tablets, one called ritonavir tablets, the former is Pfizer's innovative drug, the latter is an old drug, that is, the new drug with an old drug to treat the new crown, check the instructions of ritonavir tablets to see that its indications are alone or in combination with antiretroviral nucleoside drugs to treat advanced or non-progressive AIDS patients. That is to say, it is indeed an anti-AIDS drug, the new crown virus is the same as hive is retrovirus, so this is going to be used to fight the new crown, so half of the new crown drugs can treat AIDS, but not the whole drug.
2, this drug has entered the medical insurance in some regions, and the price is taken with the Pfizer company agreement price, the drug in foreign sales is 530 US dollars, about 3370 yuan, the domestic agreement price of 2300 yuan, compared with the original Indian imported drugs 2850 yuan is lower, it is worth noting that as an anti-AIDS treatment drug ritonavir tablets are 200mg a piece, is 2 times the amount of anti-new crown, the price of this drug in 12-20 yuan a piece.
3, the so-called special drug is also relatively speaking, this drug needs to be taken early, must be taken within 5 days after the production of symptoms, after 5 days of taking the effect will be greatly reduced, some people say that taking this drug new crown can break the root, this has no scientific basis, the results of clinical research is only to say that it can reduce the rate of severe illness and mortality, did not mention the root rate, nor did it mention that eating the drug can speed up the speed of nucleic acid examination to yin. And most patients with COVID-19 will not leave sequelae or become chronic.
4, the instructions list a lot of side reactions, can you still eat? This problem I have popularized, the drug is not afraid of the instructions thick, the side reactions are listed more, this is especially applicable to Western medicine, because the more side reactions are listed, the more money the pharmaceutical factory invests, the more the side reactions are reported and recorded, the more the drug is three points of poison, there is no side reaction, not afraid of the side reactions of the drug and tell everyone, I am afraid that the drug has no effect, and the side reactions are not clear. Especially new drugs, this is particularly important, many drug research and development will be listed will also be reported and studied on the side effects, which is the performance of the person in charge of the manufacturer, so the number of side reactions in the instructions, not whether the drug is "good" reference standard, since it has been approved for listing and introduced into the country, it means that most of the people in need eat is beneficial.
5, subject to the current production capacity, many people can not buy the original research imported drugs, the current Pfizer production capacity can reach the maximum production of 120 million courses, which can be said to be a cup of water for so many patients around the world, although the first batch of 20,000 boxes of drugs have been delivered to the front line of the fight against the epidemic, but ordinary people want to generally prepare this drug in the short term. At present, there are 5 pharmaceutical factories in China that have been approved to produce generic drugs for epidemic prevention and control in underdeveloped countries, and the price is much cheaper, but these drugs cannot be sold in China, so they can only think of other ways, especially the research and development of domestic original research and new crown drugs and the replacement of proprietary Chinese medicines.
