Chapter 209 Orphan Drugs

Severe myoclonic epilepsy in infants? !

When he saw the name of the disease, Wu Ye was dumbfounded for a moment.

As a purchasing agent for so many years, Wu Ye thought that he was well-informed. He had purchased medicines for all kinds of difficult and complicated diseases.

But this was the first time he had heard of this disease in so many years.

Wu Ye frowned and asked tentatively: "Well, what's the name of the medicine to treat this disease?"

The woman replied with pleading eyes: "It's called clobazam. This medicine is available overseas and the price is not expensive."

Not expensive.

Wu Ye keenly caught one word: the patients who came to him to purchase medicines were simply because domestic medicines were too expensive and they could not afford them, so they chose to come to him to purchase cheap medicines in New Delhi.

If it is not expensive, there is no need to ask him to purchase it on your behalf.

Unless there are other problems with this medicine!
Wu Ye suddenly felt something was wrong, and he asked tentatively: "Is there no such drug in China?"

The woman pursed her lips and said: "There is currently no clobazam drug on the market in China. It is only available overseas, so we can only purchase it from overseas."

Wu Ye nodded as if he understood, and then said: "I have never heard of this medicine, and I don't know if it is available in New Delhi. I will ask someone when the time comes."

Wu Ye paused, as if he remembered something, and then asked: "By the way, who did you buy this medicine from before?"

The woman replied: "There used to be a group leader of a patient group. Her son also had this disease, so she would buy this medicine from overseas, and then she would also bring some for us."

Wu Ye frowned: "Can I buy it directly from overseas in China?"

The woman nodded: "However, purchase is only allowed in some coastal areas, and the amount at each time is very small."

Wu Ye continued to ask: "Then why don't you continue to buy from her?"

It's not that Wu Ye has many questions. There are some things he must ask clearly. He is just a purchasing agent and does not want to cause any unnecessary disaster.

Sure enough, when asked this question, the woman showed hesitation on her face.

But Wu Ye still persisted, and finally the woman gritted her teeth and said: "She was caught."

Sure enough, Wu Zhiye thought, otherwise the woman wouldn't come to him.

However, he still said calmly: "Is it because of smuggling?"

The woman's tone suddenly became hesitant. She didn't even dare to raise her head to look into Wu Ye's eyes, which made Wu Ye feel a little strange.

Finally the woman spoke: "In addition to the crime of smuggling, there is also the crime of drug trafficking."

Selling drugs? !
When Wu Ye heard this accusation, his heart skipped a beat.

He didn't understand what kind of drug Clobazam was, and how it could be related to drugs.

After coming back to his senses, Wu Ye waved his hands in a panic: "If you can't take him with you, you should find someone else. I don't have that ability!"

Wu Ye just wants to end the relationship with this woman as soon as possible.

He is just a purchasing agent. If he is caught, he will only commit smuggling at most.

But if he really helps this woman purchase drugs, then he really becomes a drug dealer. This crime is really serious. By then, he will not be able to get rid of it even if he jumps into the Yellow River!

Wu Ye originally just wanted to reject this woman, but what Wu Ye didn't expect was that after hearing this, the woman knelt down in front of Wu Ye.

"Brother Angkor, I beg you, I really have no choice. My daughter is only three years old, but we really have no cure now."

The woman grabbed Wu Ye's trouser legs, looking pleading and crying.

This scene made Wu Ye feel tight in his chest. He was not a hard-hearted person. On the contrary, he was also a patient and could empathize with women. Otherwise, he would not have helped other patients bring medicine for so many years.

If it were other medicines, Wu Ye would have brought them for the woman.

But the problem is, this is Clobazam, and it will be convicted of drug trafficking!

He is not a superman, he is just an ordinary person, and he is also afraid of getting into trouble.

Wu Ye gritted his teeth and chose to refuse coldly: "Sorry, I can't carry this medicine. You'd better find someone else to help."

After saying that, Wu Ye no longer hesitated and left cruelly.

There was nothing he could do about this kind of thing.

This also caused the woman's last glimmer of hope to fail. After a long silence, she slowly stood up from the ground and left in despair.

In the study room, Lu Liang checked the number of source points in his system.

Currently, the number of source points in the system has been increased from 4.9 source points to 9.4 source points.

The sales of multi-kinase inhibitors brought Lu Liang 4.5 source points.

If you add in the published paper, the total revenue brought by the multi-kinase inhibitor to Lu Liang is 5.2 sources.

Lu Liang is quite satisfied with this kind of income.

When he first analyzed multi-kinase inhibitors, Lu Liang spent a total of 2.5 sources.

But now, gains have more than doubled.

If this trend continues, if we come here a few more times, we should be able to redeem the parchment roll in the Yuandian Mall, Lu Liang thought to himself.After thinking about these things, Lu Liang calmed down and picked up the empty water glass beside him to get some water.

However, as soon as he got up, Lu Liang noticed that Wang Wentao beside him was still scrolling through his mobile phone.

Lu Liang didn't pay too much attention. He just smiled and reminded Wang Wentao: "How long have you been playing? Are you finished with the experimental plan?"

The test plan Lu Liang mentioned naturally refers to the mouse test of multi-kinase inhibitors on kidney cancer and brain cancer.

Wang Wentao scratched his head and said, "It's almost done."

Then, Wang Wentao asked: "By the way, senior brother, I want to ask you something."

"What's the matter?" Lu Liang replied.

Wang Wentao shook his head: "No, I just want to ask, senior brother, how much do you know about clobazam, a drug like this?"

Clobazam?
Lu Liang was stunned for a moment when he heard the name of the medicine. He didn't know why Wang Wentao suddenly asked this question.

However, after thinking for a while, Lu Liang still replied: "That thing, if I remember correctly, is a treatment drug for refractory epilepsy, right?"

Clobazam, a Class II psychotropic drug, is specifically used to treat patients with refractory epilepsy who are refractory to common anti-epileptic drugs.

Lu Liang paused, and then continued: "Because it has serious addictive properties, it is a seriously controlled drug."

When he said this, Lu Liang looked at Wang Wentao doubtfully: "What's wrong? Why did you suddenly ask this question?"

Wang Wentao said: "I just watched the news. It said that there was a man named 'Iron Horse' who helped other patients bring medicine from overseas. He brought this Clobazam, and then he was caught."

After listening to Wang Wentao's words, Lu Liang nodded.

Because clobazam is not available in the country, those patients who need medication can only purchase it from overseas.

But this drug is a controlled drug, so it was caught.

"Convicted of smuggling and selling drugs." Wang Wentao continued.

"what?"

When Lu Liang heard this, he couldn't help but have a look of astonishment on his face.

Smuggling is understandable, but drug trafficking is a bit nonsense, right?

But Lu Liang quickly realized and understood why this matter was related to drug trafficking.

Just because of the addictive nature of clobazam.

According to the "Dependence Conversion Table of 100 Controlled Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances", 1 gram of clobazam is as addictive as 0.1 mg of heroin.

This already belongs to the category of drugs.

Therefore, this is why clobazam is strictly controlled.

And Wang Wentao also said just now that Tiema is a purchasing agent, so he definitely buys a lot of clobazam, which is equivalent to carrying a lot of heroin.

Lu Liang frowned. In a sense, this was already a copy of "I'm Not the God of Medicine".

Wang Wentao said: "Now this news is making a big fuss on the Internet."

Lu Liang went up and took a look. It was indeed as Wang Wentao said. This news report had already become a hot search topic and caused a stir on the Internet.

Many people believe that this matter should not be so serious in nature, because the mother's purpose was to save her child.

As for this matter, major media outlets are rushing to reprint it, and many lawyers on the Internet are analyzing this case.

"It would be great if there were such drugs in China. There would be no need to purchase them on behalf of others, and this kind of thing would not happen."

Wang Wentao looked at the news, shook his head and said, "Senior brother, has Clobazam's patent period expired? Why has this drug not been seen in China for so long?"

Lu Liang thought for a while and replied: "The patent period of clobazam has expired long ago, more than ten to twenty years."

Clobazam is a drug developed by the Danish company Lundbeck and has been on the market since 1970.

If you calculate carefully, it has been almost 50 years now, how could it be that the patent period has not expired yet.

Wang Wentao became even more confused: "Then why is it not available in China? Is it because the technology is not good enough?"

Lu Liang rolled his eyes: "Are you looking down on the progress of the times?"

“Clobazam was a drug 50 years ago, an antique 50 years ago. In the past 50 years, medical technology has been updated and iterated countless times.

No matter how high the technical threshold was at that time, today, even a small pharmaceutical company can figure it out as long as it takes some time to think about it. "

This made Wang Wentao even more puzzled: "There are obviously no patent restrictions and no technical threshold, so why are there no generic clobazam drugs in China?"

Wang Wentao's words also stunned Lu Liang for a moment. Wang Wentao's words were true.

There are no patent restrictions or technical thresholds. Under normal circumstances, generic drugs of clobazam should be available everywhere in the country.

Why are there still no generic clobazam drugs on the market so far?

But Lu Liang quickly realized this.

After a moment of silence, Lu Liang sighed and said, "If nothing else, it's because clobazam is an orphan drug!"
