I can extract side effects.

Chapter 282 Global Recall, Only Huaxia Is Missing

Early the next morning, old man Zhang went straight to the hospital.

This third-level hospital is not far away, and he often goes for re-examination, and he is already familiar with it.

As soon as I entered the outpatient hall, I saw a conspicuous round counter. This was the guidance desk of the hospital. Two nurses were sitting there, receiving inquiries from patients.

Old man Zhang just prescribed the medicine, and he didn't want to waste money to go to register again, so he rolled his eyes and ran to the consultation desk first.

He took out two boxes of antihypertensive medicines that he had been taking from his pocket, and asked seriously.

"Hello, I would like to ask, where should I go if I withdraw the medicine? Do I go directly to the pharmacy? Or go to the doctor first?"

The person who received him was a young girl who had never heard such a request before, so she was taken aback for a moment.

"Withdrawal?"

"Yeah, look at the imported antihypertensive drug I'm taking. Didn't the news say that it may cause cancer? Then this drug is unbearable. I've already changed to another drug. If it weren't for the previously prescribed drug, it would be useless." Yes, can I return it?"

The little nurse took it in a daze, looked at it and said, "Is this medicine prescribed by our hospital?"

"Of course, I can still lie to you." Old man Zhang clicked twice and took out the medical records and payment receipts.

The little nurse compared it and was sure that it was the patient and the medicine in her own hospital, so she couldn't help being at a loss.

She had never seen such a thing before, so she hurried to ask the middle-aged nurse next to her.

After the two muttered for a while, the middle-aged nurse came over and returned the case and documents to old man Zhang, saying with a straight face.

"Sorry, once the medicine is sold, it cannot be returned or exchanged."

The old man Zhang was very dissatisfied: "Why? The medicine obviously has quality problems, and the doctor also changed the medicine for me, saying that it is really not suitable for me to continue taking it. Then why can't I return it, should I keep it for collection?"

The middle-aged nurse still insisted: "This is the hospital's regulation."

Old man Zhang said angrily: "What kind of bullshit regulations is this? Could it be that there is a quality problem, and if something goes wrong, you can't refund it?"

He yelled loudly: "Who made the rule, I want to see him, you leaders, tell him to come over."

The little nurse comforted in a soft voice: "Master, this is not only the hospital's regulation, but also the national regulation. After the medicine is sold, it cannot be returned or exchanged. Only in this way can there be traces to follow and avoid mistakes when returning or exchanging."

"There are only two situations in which medicines can be returned or exchanged. One is that the medicines taken by the patient are harmful to the patient's condition and can only be returned after obtaining the doctor's permission. The other is that the medicines have quality problems. This quality problem is not judged by us. Generally, you In this case, we need to recall the drug by the pharmaceutical company or the Food and Drug Administration before we can handle the return.”

"You want to withdraw the medicine now, we really can't handle it. Otherwise, you can contact the manufacturer and ask if they have recalled this batch of medicine."

"If there is a recall notice from the manufacturer, we can handle the return for you, and we also have to specially store and strictly inspect the returned drugs. The whole process is very strict and must be legal and compliant if it is returned to the manufacturer through the original channel. You can return it anytime you want.”

After the little nurse explained this, old man Zhang's anger immediately disappeared.

He is not an unreasonable person. Since it is so troublesome for the hospital to return the medicine, it is indeed more appropriate to contact the manufacturer first.

Old man Zhang nodded: "That's fine, I'll contact the manufacturer first, and I'll come back if I have any questions."

He returned home with his things, carefully looked through the packaging of the antihypertensive medicine, and looked for the phone number of the manufacturer.

This is an irbesartan tablet produced by Sanofi, a pharmaceutical giant in Gaul. There are 28 tablets in a box of 0.15g, and the price is around 130 yuan.

He has taken antihypertensive drugs for more than ten years, and he has to take two tablets a day to control his blood pressure, so he has to use up two boxes every month.

There are also domestic generics of this medicine, but he could not lower his blood pressure after taking domestic medicines. Later, the doctor prescribed this foreign imported medicine for him.

During the period, I also considered changing to other medicines, but I had to try again and then get used to it. I couldn't find a better medicine for a while, so I kept taking it for many years.

When the cancer-causing news first came out, he was terrified. After all, cancer is much more serious than high blood pressure.

He didn't dare to take it anymore, and changed to Sanqing's antihypertensive drug at the speed of light on the doctor's recommendation.

However, there was still a knot in his heart, and he was always a little anxious.

After taking this medicine for so many years, although there is no problem, it is still unknown whether the possibility of developing cancer has greatly increased.

In case the chance of getting cancer is greatly increased, what should I do if I get cancer in two years?

No, I have to ask the pharmaceutical company for clarification and an explanation.

In case there are any hidden dangers, he must file a lawsuit to make the pharmaceutical company lose money.

Soon a phone number was found on the box of the medicine.

The medicine was imported and repackaged in the domestic branch, and the detailed address was displayed in Hangzhou.

Old man Zhang made up his mind that if he didn't get a satisfactory answer, he had to bring his patients along to seek justice.

The consultation hotline was dialed, and a sweet female voice sounded.

"Hello, what kind of questions do you want to ask?"

"It is said in the news that your company's irbesartan tablets have been recalled abroad, but what about in China? When will it be recalled?"

The voice of the customer service froze, then returned to normal immediately, and said very politely.

"Hi sir, it's like this. We haven't received any news in this regard. Domestic sales will not be affected for the time being. If you are worried, you can follow our official account and we will issue the latest notice."

"Don't talk so much nonsense, I'll just ask you, has this medicine been recalled abroad?"

The customer service said with a guilty conscience: "The domestic company is not very clear about this situation, please pay attention to the news and the company's notice."

Old man Zhang said angrily: "The CCTV news has already said that your antihypertensive drugs have been recalled in Maple Leaf Country, Eagle Country, and Europa. I just want to confirm with you. Just tell the truth."

The voice of the customer service became cold: "Sorry, we haven't received any notice in this regard yet."

After finishing speaking, he actually hung up the phone.

Old man Zhang was taken aback for a moment, his seven orifices were smoking with anger, and he yelled loudly.

"Yes, recalled abroad, not recalled domestically, so different treatment, I must go to the group to expose your ugly face."

He typed angrily, posting what happened to him that day to the patient group.

There are also several patients in the group who just went to the hospital to return their medicines, but they were all rejected by the hospital without incident.

But they hadn't called the drug company yet, and when they heard what happened to old man Zhang, they all became aggrieved.

"What the hell? This attitude is too bad."

"The news has come out, but the ducks are still stubborn, and they refuse to admit it."

"I'm going to the Food and Drug Administration to complain about them selling cancer-causing drugs, but they still refuse to admit their mistakes and recall them."

"No, I'm going to expose them online and let netizens all over the country comment on it."

"I have an old classmate who works in the self-media, so I will contact him and help us denounce this unscrupulous pharmaceutical company."

"If you don't know how to do it, hurry up and ask your children to help, and you must express your anger."

A group of middle-aged and elderly patients hurriedly called their children and asked them to post online to condemn them.

Soon this matter was published on Langbo, combined with the previous news about cancer-causing antihypertensive drugs, it quickly became a hot topic.

Netizens were just curious to eat melons, but after reading the news about the recall of antihypertensive drugs, they found out.

This antihypertensive drug has been recalled in countries around the world, including but not limited to Eagle Country, Maple Leaf Country, Bull Country, and so on.

Even recent news shows that Sanofi has recalled three high blood pressure drugs in batches in Bangguo and Sakuraguo.

The news made it very clear that these three drugs all contain irbesartan, which has been found by the regulatory authorities of many countries to be mixed with potential carcinogen azido impurities.

However, netizens searched left and right, searched around, and even searched all over the Internet.

I just didn't find any recall news in China.

All the relevant news did not mention Huaxia at all.

It seems that Huaxia has completely disappeared from the earth.

No sign of it at all.

Combined with the cold treatment received by patients on the phone.

Obviously, this recall has nothing to do with the country.

Cancer-causing antihypertensive drugs are being recalled all over the world, but Huaxia is the only one missing.

This. . .

Netizens fell silent for a moment.

Then, like water dripping into a frying pan.

The entire Huaxia Internet is boiling.

　I was overwhelmed by everyone's votes these two days, I was so moved that I cried, I love you all!
