Chapter 71 50 a bottle

Deng Jie looked at the controversy on the Internet and couldn't help but sigh.

Since the Beijing Daily reported on the performance of metformin in clinical trials.

In everyone's mind, the emergence of metformin, a new antidiabetic drug, has become a definite fact, and no further debate is needed.

But this raises another question.

That is, after metformin is launched, how much will the price of the drug be?
Because of this incident, a new round of controversy once again arose on the Internet.

Surrounding this controversy, netizens are now divided into two groups.

One group believes that Lu Liang will stick to his original intention as before and set the price of metformin at a price acceptable to all people with diabetes.

But the other group doesn't think so. They believe that the price of metformin will definitely not be low.

The voices of this group are even more mainstream, and their speeches on the Internet are even more reasonable and well-founded.

"Type 2 diabetes is not a rare disease like chronic myelogenous leukemia. There are so many patients. Even if the price is only increased by 1 yuan, it can bring him at least tens of millions of profits. Faced with such a huge profit, he can Not moved?"

"Don't think too well of someone. You really think he is a philanthropist. Who sells medicine is not evil!"

"This drug is in tablet form. One bottle of the drug should be enough for the patient to take for half a month. Therefore, the price of a bottle of this drug is at least 5000!"

"Oh, I guess that guy set the price for chronic myelogenous leukemia drugs at 500 a bottle before, probably because he wanted to earn a good reputation. Now that he has a good reputation, it's time to make money!"

Deng Jie was a little flustered by these comments, but he couldn't find any refutation.

After a moment of silence, Deng Jie opened the patient group and checked the messages in the patient group.

The controversy over the price of metformin drug on the Internet has turned the patients' joy when they first learned that metformin was effective into depression.

Because they don’t know that this drug will be priced at a sky-high price that they can’t afford.

However, there are still patients who are speaking out to comfort everyone.

"You don't have to worry too much. After all, this is a domestic drug and should not be more expensive than the imported drug liraglutide."

"Moreover, the drug is in tablet form. One bottle can last for less than half a month. Even if it is a little more expensive, it is much more cost-effective than liraglutide, which is actually acceptable."

"Don't forget, the drug that treats chronic myelogenous leukemia only costs 500 a bottle, so no matter how expensive the other party sells metformin, it should still be within our tolerance."

Even though he said that, everyone was still feeling uneasy in their hearts.

After all, the drugs were developed by others. No matter how expensive the drugs are, they have no right to protest.

Looking at the silent patients in the group, Deng Jie couldn't help but sigh.

Just when Deng Jie was about to close the chat interface in the group, a new message jumped out of the group.

The person who sent the message was a patient with the ID name "Duck Prophet". Deng Jie glanced at the message from "Duck Prophet" with his peripheral vision.

However, the moment he saw this message, Deng Jie's finger that was already hanging on the exit key suddenly froze, and his pupils couldn't stop shrinking.

"The latest interview with the Beijing Daily has the results on drug pricing. Go and read it online!!"

This news came so suddenly that the patients in the group did not react for a while when they saw the news.

The whole group was quiet for a second or two.

After two seconds, the patients in the group suddenly became excited, and the previous depression in the group was gone.

"Why did it come out so soon? I wasn't even mentally prepared."

"How much, how much for one bottle of medicine!"

"Speak quickly, please don't show off!"

"Really, I am anxious to death."

"Has anyone seen it? Tell me!"

The "duck prophet" patient stopped talking after sending this message.This made the patients in the group extremely anxious. They were scratching their heads one by one, eager to know the price of metformin.

But I didn’t dare to look up the Beijing Daily report on the Internet myself, fearing that I would see a disappointing result.

Just when the patients in the group were so anxious that they were scratching their hearts and lungs.

Someone brought back the news from the Beijing Daily at a faster speed.

"50, as mentioned in the interview, only 50 a bottle!"

Even through the screen, you can feel that the other party is shouting these words.

The news that suddenly came back was astonishing.

50 a bottle!
This price shocked the patients in the group like thunder on the ground.

They had already prepared themselves mentally and were prepared to accept that the drugs might be sold at sky-high prices.

But 50 a bottle? !

This price was like a heavy punch, directly and devastatingly breaking through their newly prepared psychological construction.

It was like a critical blow to their souls.

This price was something they had not expected.

The patients in the group were all stunned when they saw the news.

Even Deng Jie in front of the screen was stunned at this moment.

After a full two or three seconds, the originally dead group of patients exploded like a volcano coming to life.

"It's true, don't lie to me!"

"It's true. It's in the Beijing Daily interview report. It's unmistakable. 50 a bottle!"

"Damn it, we people can't be saved!"

"God, it's really 50 a bottle, I really kneel down for him!"

Seeing the good news coming one after another from the patient group, they were celebrating with gongs and drums as if they were celebrating the New Year.

Deng Jie still couldn't believe it. He quickly opened his scarf and looked for the Beijing Daily's official scarf, hoping to witness it with his own eyes.

After clicking in, Deng Jie immediately saw the latest report from the Beijing Daily, and just the title made Deng Jie subconsciously hold his breath.

"The new antidiabetic drug metformin is expected to be priced at 50 per bottle. 》

Deng Jie's hands couldn't help but tremble as he clicked on this report.

"A reporter from the Beijing Daily conducted an interview with Lu Liang, the inventor of the new anti-diabetic drug secondary biguanide. During the interview, Lu Liang said that after metformin is launched, the price of the drug will be set at 50 a bottle!"

At the same time, as this Beijing Daily interview spread on the Internet, it once again aroused considerable public opinion on the Internet.

Compared to the price of liraglutide, metformin is outrageously cheap.

In the dormitory, Zhang Zichun stared blankly at this interview from the Beijing Daily. After being silent for a long time, he finally came back to his senses.

He twitched the corners of his mouth and smiled silently.

Afterwards, Zhang Zichun picked up his cell phone and dialed his mentor's number.

"Hey, Director, I want to change the subject."

"Yes, I don't want to do research on liraglutide anymore."

"Liraglutide is rubbish, I want to do research on metformin!"
