Investigation: Sichuan Fritillary Loquat Cream is not popular in Beijing
Yesterday, a reporter from Beiqing Daily visited some pharmacies and hospitals in Beijing and found no Sichuan Frisian Loquat Cream selling well. According to industry insiders, this has a lot to do with the large number of traditional Chinese medicine brands with the same efficacy in the Chinese market.
In the new medical insurance pharmacy, dozens of OTC medicines for resolving phlegm, relieving coughs, moistening the lungs and relieving asthma occupy two huge floor-to-ceiling glass medicine cabinets. Nian Ci'an's honey-flavored Sichuan clam loquat paste is placed in the most conspicuous position. This syrup is available in two sizes, 150 ml for 28.6 yuan a bottle and 300 ml for 49.8 yuan. According to the salesperson, cough patients can see results after taking it for a week. At Yongantang Pharmacy, in addition to Nianci'an Honey Refined Chuanbei Loquat Ointment, the salesperson also recommended four or five kinds of medicines for relieving cough and reducing phlegm. The most expensive one is 98 yuan per box.
In Jingdong Pharmacy, searching for "Chuanbei Loquat Cream" can find products from 11 manufacturers, including Baiyunshan, Pan Gaoshou, Materia Medica, etc. Among them, Nianci'an Honey Refined Sichuan Bean Loquat Cream 300ml is sold The price is 48 yuan a bottle. Order it on the same day and it will be delivered the next day.
“Sichuan Fritillaria loquat ointment? I only have the one made by Pan Gaoshou in Guangzhou, not the one produced in Hong Kong.” said Dr. Wang from the Respiratory Department of a Class A hospital. He said that the two drugs have the same ingredients and the same efficacy, but they are produced by different manufacturers and have different names. The price shows that a 345ml bottle of Pan Gaoshou Honey Refined Chuanbei Loquat Ointment is priced at 22 yuan per bottle in the pharmacy of the hospital.
