For a long time, China’s pharmaceutical enterprises are considered to be a lucrative industry. Since 1997, the Development and Reform Commission has been adjusted 24 times of medicine prices through administrative means. A responsible person in a pharmaceutical company said that compared to the previous 50% or even 80% of the decline, the drug price adjustment can be regarded as a soft knife. Although there are varieties medicines that cut to nearly half the price, the magnitude is not large. This time’s adjustment is the most powerful measure over the last three years to solve the medical care problems. When the respondents were expressing their concerns, they also raised a question. If the hospitals and pharmacies refuse to implement, what and how we can do?

Reporters found out that on the 22nd day, there were still a lot of drug stores who have not to implement the new price standard, and some staff had ever heard of. Well-known drug marketing expert, Wang, who is also the general manager of Beijing Best Power Marketing Planning Co., Ltd., said consumers do not need to worry about this point. Medicines are not like TV and clothes. The price is controlled by the country. The hospitals and pharmacies’ refusing to lower prices is with small possibility. Some of them may not have time to adjust. There may be some community retail pharmacies do not get the price adjustment of specific implementation.

The Secretary-General Wang Jinxia of China Association of Pharmaceutical Commerce said that when compared, people will find that pharmacy drug prices have been lower than a lot of medical institutions.
