Chapter 448: The American God of Medicine

"You see, I still need to work to support myself, so I can't stay in China for a long time. If I can bring some more medicine back, it will be much more convenient to come to your place for a review after a while." Ron explained.

Shen Long shrugged, "The medicine can be sold to you, but I can't guarantee that you can pass the customs inspection smoothly. Once it is confiscated, the consequences may be very serious."

U.S. Customs stipulates that not all drugs produced in foreign countries have passed the FDA verification and inspection, so they are not allowed to be brought into the United States. Until now, Chinese medicine has not been approved by the FDA. In the United States, Chinese medicine has always been used as health food or nutritional supplements; and Many medicinal materials contain ingredients prohibited by the FDA. If they are found at the customs, they will basically be confiscated.

It's better for Ron to be an American. He can still enter the country after confiscation. However, if a Chinese person brings Chinese medicine and is found to have prohibited ingredients, he will be deported immediately and will not be allowed to enter the country for a certain period of time.

"Isn't there a prescription?" Ron hadn't brought medicine back from abroad before, so he didn't know much about it.

Shen Long shook his head, "The U.S. Food and Drug Administration does not approve these prescriptions. If you don't have other channels, there is no way to bring these medicines back to the United States."

"Damn it!" Ron became angry again, so he can only stay in China for a long time? This is not acceptable. What he applied for this time is not a work visa.

"Haven't you ever thought about passing the FDA review? There are also a large number of patients in the United States and Europe who need this drug. If your drug is really effective, it can save patients all over the world." Ron regained his composure asked after coming down.

"It is very difficult for Chinese patent medicines to pass the FDA review. From the current point of view, it is basically unrealistic." Shen Long shook his head and said that the internationalization of Chinese medicine has always been very difficult. Until 2012, Di'ao Pharmaceutical's Di'ao Xinxuekang Capsules were certified in the Netherlands , it became the first botanical drug approved in the European market in China.

Before Shen Long entered the world, only eight drugs had been qualified for overseas marketing, and more than 10 drugs had submitted IND (clinical trial) applications in the US FDA. None, among which Tasly Compound Danshen Dripping Pills spent 20 years without success.

"At present, my pharmaceutical factory is developing modern chemical drugs, but it will take time for the development to be successful, and it is hard to say whether it will pass the FDA review. You know, I have violated the interests of Nova, and they will definitely stop it with all their strength. I passed the FDA review." Shen Long said.

Ron was silent. He also went online, and he also knew about the scandals of pharmaceutical companies that broke out on the Internet recently. He knew very well what those pharmaceutical giants could do in order to protect their own interests. A foreign pharmaceutical company, especially a pharmaceutical company from China , It is simply too difficult to pass the FDA review under the obstruction of Nova.

"Well, thank you very much, respected Dr. Cheng, I will take this medicine for a while after I go back, and if I get better before leaving China, I will find a way to see if I can ship this medicine back to the United States !” Ron got up and left.

After a while, when Ron was about to return to the United States, he had a re-examination and found that his condition had indeed improved, so he re-emerged the idea of ​​buying medicine and returning home.

He intends to use the help of his relatives, who are diplomats and have the qualifications to send diplomatic pouches, so-called for the communication between their own governments, embassies, consulates, and delegations sent to international organizations and international conferences. Packages (bags, envelopes, packing boxes) with identifiable marks on the outside, used to carry diplomatic documents or official supplies; mainly transport top-secret documents, a large number of relatively confidential documents, and official supplies that are not suitable for mailing; mail bags It can be delivered by a diplomatic courier, or it can be entrusted to the captain of a commercial aircraft holding an official document indicating the number of pouches. The third party shall not open or detain it.

Customs has no right to inspect such mailbags, so many diplomats use this method to seek their own interests. For example, diplomats from Ecuador and Russia have used diplomatic mailbags to transport drugs.

American diplomats would occasionally use this channel to transport things that were not suitable for customs to know. Ron knew this very well, so he found his relatives and talked about it.

His relatives loved him very much. Since it was a life-saving medicine and not an overly sensitive item, they agreed and used their own channels to send the medicinal diplomatic pouch that Ron bought back to the United States. Then he sent it to Ron again by his friend in the United States.

After returning to the United States, Ron saw his patients. The patients were very surprised to see his recovery, so they pestered him to ask what medicine Ron took.

"I went to China, you know, my uncle George was a diplomat in China, and he told me that recently there was a magic doctor in China who used traditional Chinese medicine to invent a very effective new medicine, and many patients were treated by him I got a new life, so I went to China, saw this doctor, and got proper treatment." Ron introduced.

"Then this medicine and the consultation fee must be very expensive?" The patient was a little moved, but considering that his financial situation was not as good as Ron's, he began to shrink back.

"No, no, even the consultation fee plus the medicine fee, the monthly expenses are less than one hundred dollars, which is much cheaper than the damn Glenin! I take Glenin for a month, and it is enough for several years of expenses! And It's still getting better! I even think I have hope of recovery." When talking about expenses, Ron began to gnash his teeth again.

"Oh Maggie, is this true? Ron, today is not April Fool's Day, and this kind of thing is not suitable for joking at all!" Everyone didn't believe him.

"I can swear in the name of my grandmother!" Ron solemnly swore, "Actually, you don't need to go to China to see a doctor in person, as long as you can buy medicine! I just brought some more this time, you can try Stop that damn Glenin and eat for a while!"

Ron and these patients have been looking for various treatment options together for a long time, and have already formed a deep friendship. Since there is such a good thing, they will definitely not enjoy it alone.

"However, I need to remind you that this drug has not passed the FDA review. I shipped it back to the United States through a special channel. You must not be discovered, otherwise you will not only have no medicine, but you may go to jail." Luo En warned.

His current situation is exactly the same as that of Cheng Yong back then. He can find a more suitable substitute, but he cannot sell it publicly.
