Chapter 144 Shenduqing is launched globally! (Please subscribe)
“Zhang Yang, long time no see!”
Three days later, in Zhang Yang’s office of Qingshan Pharmaceutical, Liu Weiguo and several accompanying medical insurance comrades shook hands with Zhang Yang enthusiastically.
"Haha, Director Liu, I haven't seen you for a long time. What kind of wind brought you here today?!"
"Haha, Zhang Yang, you are asking the question knowingly. ! ”
Liu Weiguo chuckled, pretending to be angry.
Of course he knew that this was a friend-like joke between him and Zhang Yang. How could Zhang Yang not be clear about the purpose of his visit this time.
"Okay, Director Liu, I'm free today and tomorrow. Should we start talking now, or should you guys take a day off and talk later?"
"Let's do it now. If we finish talking early, it will be considered completed. One thing.”
“Okay, let’s get started.”
In addition to the office area, Zhang Yang's office also has a small partitioned conference room. Several people moved to sit down. Liu Weiguo was the first to speak and said seriously:
"Mr. Zhang, I am here for your company's sake." Shenduqing dialysis replacement needle', we hope to include it in medical insurance to better serve the majority of dialysis patients. ."
"As for the price... we'll give you a price of 600 yuan per shot?"
Zhang Yang couldn't help laughing. When Liu Weiguo is not talking about work, he is all smiles. When it comes to work, he really doesn’t recognize his relatives and directly cuts the price of his bones.
Of course,
Zhang Yang has already thought clearly about the domestic pricing of the "Kidney Toxin Clearing Dialysis Needle". His idea is to increase it by 10% on the basis of the current traditional "hemodialysis" price of 900 yuan, which is probably included in the price. The cost of medical insurance fluctuates around 1,000 yuan.
There are several reasons:
First, the production and storage costs of dialysis needles are much higher than tablets, reaching about 200 yuan per needle.
Secondly, with the "Clobazam incident" a few days ago, he gradually gained a clearer understanding and idea of the future development of Qingshan Pharmaceutical.
Indeed,
making money now is just a matter of making more and less for Tsingshan Pharmaceutical. For other pharmaceutical companies, one or two star drugs are enough to support the profits of the entire company, but Tsingshan Pharmaceutical has more than one star product. Two, with more to come.
So...
Qingshan Pharmaceutical will definitely need to assume more social responsibilities in the future. For drugs like "clobazam", other pharmaceutical companies find it troublesome and do not like it. To make money, they are not willing to produce.
But Qingshan Pharmaceutical can take the initiative.
To put it harshly, it’s like what the richest man in the country, Lao Wang, said to the county magistrate of a poor county in your province:
“Don’t even think about setting up a pig farm, I’ll just give you 5 pig farms every year. Billion, you can divide it yourself.”
The same is true for the production of drugs like “Clobazam”, let alone whether it is profitable or not, even if it loses one or two million per year, Qingshan Pharmaceuticals It's just a drizzle, but it can still gain a good reputation.
Of course, the premise is that Qingshan Pharmaceutical has enough profit support.
At the same time,
In addition to shouldering social responsibilities, Tsingshan Pharmaceutical also needs to invest a large amount of profits in the research and development of other diseases.
He has figured it out. Instead of letting other pharmaceutical companies make a dime of money, and even prefer to buy financial services rather than invest more money in the research and development of new drugs, it is better to simply let himself make a profit and let Qingshan Pharmaceutical
I am more willing to spend money on scientific researchers and invest in research and development than those of them.
These two points are the reasons why Zhang Yang did not set the price of "Kendu Qing" too low.
The third point is that Zhang Yang also realized that the "Kidney Toxin Clearing Dialysis Needle" must be bound to the national medical insurance to achieve large-scale promotion.
He has a good personal relationship with Liu Weiguo, and the government also intends to support Qingshan Pharmaceutical. However, if the price is set too high, it will be impossible for the medical insurance fund to vigorously promote it. After all, the price of "traditional hemodialysis" will cover the bottom.
And the fourth point is also the most important point.
He thought of Jiang Yong and the countless ordinary people like Jiang Yong who were unable to make money to support their families due to uremia and dialysis.
Although the national policy is good and dialysis patients can go to "chronic and special disease outpatient clinics", dialysis needs to be done 12 times a month. Even if it costs 150 yuan each time, it still costs 1,600 yuan a month.
1,600 yuan/month is a large expense for ordinary people, not to mention these dialysis patients?
"600 yuan is not enough, it should be higher!"
"Then the fixed price is 650 yuan per shot..."
Zhang Yang has his own considerations, and Liu Weiguo also has his own responsibilities, but the two of them They all have the same purpose in mind -
That is to enable ordinary dialysis patients to use "dialysis replacement needles".
Thirty minutes later, the "Kidney Toxin Clearing Dialysis Injection" was finally included in the medical insurance catalog at a price of 980 yuan per injection, which is 10% more expensive than the 900 yuan for traditional hemodialysis.
According to Liu Weiguo, the National Medical Insurance Fund plans to reimburse 880 yuan, and the patient will bear 100 yuan at his own expense.
Zhang Yang is very satisfied with the price.
Although the domestic price is the lowest compared to exports to the United Kingdom and the United States, after all, it is my fellow countrymen who benefit from this, and it is reasonable to be cheaper.
After determining the prices for the UK market, the US market, and the domestic market, the official global sales of the "Kidney Toxin Clearing Dialysis Needle" has entered the final sprint.
Half a month later, the world's first prescription for "Kidney Clear Dialysis Replacement Injection" was issued at the Royal Hospital in London, England, and was first officially used by a middle-aged woman named Margaret.
About a week later, the US market was also launched simultaneously.
Compared to the UK, where there are not many dialysis patients and the market is not very popular, the US, which has the second largest number of kidney diseases in the world, has seen encouraging sales of the "Kidney Toxin Clear Dialysis Needle" as soon as it was launched on the market!
Not only patients who have participated in clinical trials before have requested to use "Shen Du Qing", but dialysis patients who have heard of it for a long time but were not able to participate in the trial have also begun to try "Shen Du Qing"!
No choice, no need for hemodialysis, just urinate immediately, it smells so good!
The overseas market is gratifying. Two weeks later, "Shenduqing" was officially launched in China!
At this point, the "Kidney Clear Dialysis Replacement Injection" has officially landed in the three largest and most important kidney disease markets in the world!
…
Mayo Clinic.
Professor Stephen sat in the lounge looking a little anxious, looking at his watch from time to time.
“Damn it, it’s still nine-thirty! I feel like I’ve been waiting for an hour!”
"Time is so slow today!"
Today is the day when Qingshan Pharmaceutical's "Kidney Toxin Clearing Dialysis Injection" is officially launched in hospitals across the United States. Half a month ago, he made an appointment in advance with Dr. William at ten o'clock in the morning. Click the clinic number.
"Professor Stephen, please wait a moment, we will notify you when the appointment time is up." The nurse said comfortingly.
Finally, the time came to ten o'clock in the morning. Under the leadership of a white nurse, Professor Stephen finally came to the consultation room and met his attending doctor.
"Dr. William! It's great to meet you!"
Professor Stephen's irritable mood was swept away, and he walked in slightly excitedly.
After sitting on the chair, before Dr. William could speak, he took the lead and said:
"Dr. William, you know the purpose of my visit today, Qingshan Pharmaceutical's 'Kidney Clearing Dialysis' Alternative needles' are finally on the market! ”
“Clinical trial I've been waiting for two months after the test! It's been a terrible two months! I can't travel, I can't go to the game, I'm strapped back into the dialysis machine!
MyGod! I even want to die in this life!”
"But fortunately, the 'Kidney Toxic Clearing Dialysis Needle' is back. I no longer have to go to that damn dialysis every two days!"
While listening to Professor Stephen's complaints, William quickly Fill out electronic prescriptions on your computer.
"Professor Stephen, I can completely understand your pain. You are the third complaint I have heard today."
"I have already filled out the electronic prescription, but... now This 'Shenduqing dialysis needle' can only be used for eight injections at most, which is a month's supply;"
"You need to refill the prescription after one month."
Stephen, who was originally excited, was slightly stunned:
"Dr. William, the medicines I took before can be prescribed for at least three months or even half a year. Why can 'Shenduqing' be prescribed for only one month?"< br>
Dr. William shrugged, printed out the electronic prescription and handed it to Stephen.
“This is a hospital regulation, said to be a ‘Federal Medicare’ regulation. They are afraid that dialysis patients will prescribe more of this drug and then resell it.”
“Reselling? ! ”
Stephen took the prescription and found it difficult to understand:
“What the hell! Such a good medicine is actually being resold?”
“Professor, there are many illegal immigrants in our country, and there are many who cannot afford it.” The lowest level of insurance, so... there is still a market for reselling this drug among them. "Well, our medical insurance is indeed terrible!"
Stephen. Shaking his head, he continued:
"What about the UK? Will the UK also limit the prescription of medicines to only one month? Will they have a problem with reselling?"
"No, the UK has free medical care for all, and all British people can participate for free, so... …There is no reselling at all.”
“What about China? Doctor William, don’t tell me that China is also free. Medical expenses..."
Hearing Stephen ask about Huaxia, William put down the pen in his hand, thought for a while and replied:
"I have only been to Huaxia a few times. I don’t know the specifics of their medical insurance. I’m not very clear, but I have discussed their dialysis policy with their doctor...”
"All their dialysis patients can apply for a policy called 'Outpatient Special and Chronic Diseases'. After joining, each dialysis only costs about 150 yuan;
And this time their 'Kidney Toxin Clearing Dialysis Needle' It is said that the patient only needs to bear 100 yuan, which is less than 15 US dollars per time, which is equivalent to Your breakfast today!”
“15 dollars?”
Stephen’s eyes were full of shock:
“The coffee I drank this morning was only 10 dollars. , a cup of coffee is almost enough to use a ‘kidney dialysis needle’? It’s so cheap!”
"Are their medical insurance benefits already so good?"
A trace of memory flashed in William's eyes:
"I have been to China several times, and each time it gives me different benefits. Surprise."
"Professor Stephen, now that the 'Kidney Toxin Clearing Dialysis Injection' is available, you might as well go to China to see it in person. I believe it is completely different from what you think and what the media reports."
Stephen slowly stood up from the chair, a trace of yearning flashed in his eyes.
"Dr. William, you really succeeded in convincing me."
"Not only do I want to go to China to visit, but I also happen to be able to visit Qingshan Pharmaceutical, which developed the 'Kidney Toxin Clearing Dialysis Injection'."< br>
“It would be great if I could visit their R&D center in person!”
William smiled slightly.
“I almost forgot if you didn’t mention it. You are a professor in the field of semiconductor chips, and you must be very interested in scientific research.”
…
The other side.
Rongcheng Third People's Hospital, Department of Nephrology.
"On the 24th, Luo Hao, please come to Clinic No. 2 for treatment."
The young director Lin Xiang is sitting in Clinic No. 2 of the Department of Nephrology today.
After a while, a middle-aged rural woman walked in supporting a young boy. One could guess at a glance that they were mother and son.
Before the patient could speak, Lin Xiang had already noticed that the slow-moving young man's body was swollen, especially the eyelids of his two eyes, which were swollen and shiny.
He already had a preliminary diagnosis in his mind.
"Severe edema in the limbs. Considering nephrotic syndrome, it should be at least stage three of kidney disease."
"What a pity, so young."
He sighed slightly in his heart, and when the young man sat down, his eyes fell on the middle-aged woman.
"Have you had a test before? Do you have the test results?"
"Yes, yes, yes!"
The middle-aged woman said as she hurriedly took it from her bag Check out:
"Doctor, this is my son, he is still in college this year."
"Their school called me a few days ago to tell me that my son was sick and asked me to take him to the hospital for a check-up. I finally took a leave yesterday and came from out of town... This was seen yesterday at a hospital near their school. You see, this is the test result.”
Lin Xiang pulled out the most important one from the thick stack of test results:
Biochemical test report.
Creatinine 435;
Glomerular filtration rate 28%.
There are five stages of kidney disease, and the gold standard for staging is glomerular filtration rate.
It is normal for the filtration rate to be above 100%.
90%-100%, belongs to the first stage of kidney.
60%-89%, belongs to renal stage II.
30%-59%, belongs to renal stage III.
15%-29%, belongs to renal stage IV.
Less than 15%, it belongs to the fifth renal stage, which is uremia.
The patient named Luo Hao in front of me is already in the fourth stage of kidney, which is renal failure. The next step is uremia!
Thinking of this, he looked at the middle-aged woman and said:
"Your son is in some trouble and must be hospitalized now."
"It is now severe renal failure. Although it has not reached the stage of uremia, a large amount of water and toxins in the body cannot be excreted, causing edema all over the body."
"In this case, it is best to do it twice Dialysis.”
Dialysis?
The middle-aged woman panicked when she heard about dialysis. In her impression, once she started dialysis, she could not stop it.
"Doctor, dialysis...can we stop dialysis!"
"I heard that once you undergo dialysis, you will have to undergo dialysis for the rest of your life. Can you take some medicine to control the condition?!"
Lin Xiang exhaled slightly in his heart.
Under normal circumstances, hemodialysis is not recommended until the blood creatinine exceeds 700, but the patient is very young and has accumulated a lot of water in his body.
Moreover, the creatinine has reached more than 400, proving that the toxins in the body are high.
At this time, diuretics can be used to drain the water from the patient's body first, but the toxins will still remain after the water has been drained. Based on the patient's current condition, it is best to undergo 1-2 dialysis sessions to quickly remove toxins from the blood. Toxins and moisture, then synchronize nephropathy treatment.
He explained patiently:
"You have also seen that your son's body is edematous now. We can use diuretics to drain the water first, but the toxins in the body cannot be drained out and will continue to damage the kidneys."
“So my suggestion is to do dialysis first to remove all toxins and water from the body and then proceed with treatment simultaneously.”
Middle-aged women obviously do not understand and are still somewhat resistant to dialysis.
At this moment, Lin Xiang suddenly thought of the "Kidney Toxic Clear Dialysis Replacement Injection".
However, "Shenduqing" has previously been targeted at patients who are already undergoing dialysis.
“Now there is a new drug that can replace dialysis. It is an injectable preparation. After injection, it can also achieve the effect of urinating and reducing swelling. Why don’t you try this new drug?”
Middle-aged women When I heard that dialysis was not needed, I nodded immediately.
But soon she became a little embarrassed:
"Doctor, you just said it was a new drug. I would like to know how much it costs? I heard others say that new drugs are very expensive."
Lin Xiang has seen this situation many times.
"Don't worry, this medicine is very cheap. Does your son have medical insurance? It's 100 yuan per shot after reimbursement!"
"100 yuan per shot!"
中The young woman suddenly breathed a sigh of relief!
"Thank you doctor, just do as you said and try the new medicine first!"
I went for a physical check-up today, and the result was not very good. There was only one chapter, sorry.
