According to reports, Japan's Far Eastern Company, the manufacturer of the well-known drug Zhenglu Pill, was exposed to data fraud for 30 consecutive years.
It is reported that with a history of more than 100 years, Shoro Maru has long been advertised as a "cure for gastrointestinal discomfort", and has been sold well both in Japan and abroad. In Japan, Shoro Maru is a Class II pharmaceutical product that is used in many households and is manufactured by several pharmaceutical companies in Japan.
The report quoted a report from the Toyama Prefecture government, where Jidong is located, that during a sudden inspection, the active ingredient in the drug was found to be seriously inconsistent with the advertised efficacy, and that Jidong had been tampering with experimental data for the past 30 years in order to conceal the truth, so that Zhenglu pills could pass the review and be marketed.
In this regard, Jidong said, "In the past, there has been a lack of awareness of compliance with the law, and I sincerely apologize to the people involved. ”
In addition to falsifying data, four gastrointestinal medicines, including "Zhenglu Pill" produced by Jidong, were also found to have violated laws and regulations by directly using the test data of the manufacturer of raw materials without conducting quality tests when procuring raw materials.
At present, the Toyama County Government of Japan has ordered the Far East Company to suspend business in accordance with Japan's "Pharmaceutical and Medical Device Law". The business closure order will take effect from April 30, stopping the manufacture of pharmaceuticals in the Far East for 23 days and stopping the sale of drugs for 22 days.
As of now
The company has already collected 5.16 million copies of its own
