The country will set up special personnel to manage drug safety websites

On December 11, Li Yingjie, a public welfare person concerned with drug safety for a long time, wrote a letter to the State Food and Drug Administration, advising him to strictly implement the “blacklist” management rules for drug safety, improve the disclosure system for illegal drugs, and ensure consumer drug safety.

On August 15 this year, the State Food and Drug Administration issued the "Drug Safety "Black List" Management Regulations (Trial)" and stipulated that it shall be implemented from October 1. According to the regulations, the food and drug supervision and administration department at or above the provincial level should set up a "drug safety blacklist column" on the prominent site of its government affairs website, and include the unqualified producers, managers, and persons responsible in the administrative area into the blacklist of drug safety. ”, and managed by a dedicated person to update it in a timely manner.

However, according to Li Yingjie’s observation, in the two months since the implementation of the above provisions, the “Domestic Safety” has not been set on the homepages of 32 government affairs websites including the State Food and Drug Administration and 31 provincial-level drug administration departments (excluding Hong Kong, Macaw and Taiwan). Blacklist column, and the Food and Drug Administration of the Tibet Autonomous Region did not even have an administrative website.

While investigating whether the provincial drug administration department's government affairs website has set up blacklist sections in accordance with regulations, Li Yingjie also conducted a simple investigation on the situation of these government affairs websites publishing illegal drug information, and the results were equally not optimistic.

According to the survey, among the 32 government affairs website homepages, only 16 government affairs website homepages have columns for drug safety information, and none of the 16 drug safety information columns provide information that enables consumers to obtain timely and effective information. .

Among the 16 websites that set up columns, five columns have undergone serious lags in information updates. There are seven columns whose information is too simple, the public has no access to effective information, there are three no drug safety information, and even one column of the site is completely Reproduction of illegal drug information in other places.

To this end, Li Yingjie suggested that the State Food and Drug Administration set up a “drug safety blacklist column” on the homepage of the government affairs website as soon as possible in accordance with the regulations, and urged all localities to establish a drug safety blacklist publication channel as soon as possible. Li Yingjie also proposed to amend the “Drug Safety “Black List” Management Regulations (Trial)” to hold responsibility for food and drug supervision and management departments and their staff who did not set up a blacklist column for drugs.

In response to this phenomenon, since last October, Taizhou City has formulated inspections on pharmaceutical companies. If there is any dishonest behavior, it may be listed on the “black list” and face more strict supervision. The reporter recently built Taizhou from the provinces and cities that the reporter held. The drug safety demonstration area promotion meeting was learned.
