November 21, Wang Xiaofei dominated the screen for one day and passed the World Cup.
He posted on Weibo that he said, " Xu Xidi (Chinese Taiwanese artist Xiao S), he has taken Snoth for many years, and has not passed a doctor's prescription and has obtained the medicine through a third party with his ID card."
The scientific name of Sinos mentioned by Wang Xiaofei is Zolpidem tartrate tablets. It is a non-benzene sedative hypnosis drug. It has the characteristics of fast effects, affirmative effects and mild side effects. It is often used in clinical practice to treat insomnia. As a major product of Sanofi , sinos has long dominated the global insomnia treatment drug market. In 1997, Sanofi introduced the product to the domestic market, and its patents have expired in all major countries.
Times Finance learned from the SNY.US manual that SNY is a non-benzodiazepine sedative hypnosis suitable for severe sleep disorders and is used for short-term treatment. It is a psychiatric drug and is mainly used for occasional insomnia and temporary insomnia. The minimum effective dose of this drug shall not exceed 10mg/pill. It should be taken before going to bed or after going to bed. It should only be taken once a night and should not be taken multiple times.
Wang Tiantian (pseudonym) has difficulty falling asleep for a long time and has emotional anxiety before going to bed. She was treated in Neurology for the first time more than a year ago. The sleeping pill recommended by the doctor is Sinos. She told Times Finance that she currently feels that Sinuos has good effect and the effect of the medicine is not strong. "The doctor advised me to take half a tablet each time, so I only prescribe 7 tablets each time, which is the amount for two weeks. I can't sleep and I will take half a tablet of Sinos. I will go to the hospital for about February to March." Data from the "2021 Exercise and Sleep White Paper" released by
Chinese Sleep Research Association and others shows that more than 300 million people in China have sleep disorders, and among young people born after 1990, sleep disorders are even more severe. In addition, according to the data of the "China Sleep Research Report 2022" released by Chinese Academy of Social Sciences and other institutions in 2022, the average daily sleep time of Chinese people in 2021 was 7.06 hours, 64.75% of the respondents actually sleep less than 8 hours a day, and only 7.97% of the respondents had more than 8 hours.
"The message from Wang Xiaofei feels that it is easy to mislead the public. Taking some sleeping pills and having a good sleep is better than hard in my opinion. I have seen that the side effects and addiction of the new generation of sleeping pills are less. The public is very taboo about taking insomnia and taking medicines. Doctors also prescribe it according to the dosage, so addiction is not that easy." Wang Tiantian said.
However, Sinos belongs to my country's controlled psychotropic drugs and faces stricter control than conventional drugs. Psychiatric drugs refer to the direct effect on central nervous system , causing it to be excited or inhibited, and continuous use may cause dependence. The state divides the human body into categories one and two types of psychotropic drugs based on the dependence on psychotropic drugs and the degree of endangering human health.
The domestic "Regulations on the Administration of Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Drugs (2016 Revised)" also clearly stipulates that the state shall implement controls on medicinal plants of narcotic drugs and narcotic drugs and psychotropic drugs. In addition, no unit or individual may carry out the planting of narcotic drugs and experimental research, production, operation, use, storage, transportation of narcotic drugs and psychotropic drugs.
A doctor from a tumor hospital in Hainan Province, Jiang Rui (pseudonym), explained to Times Finance that Sinus belongs to the second category of psychotropic drugs and will depend on long-term use. In its department, it is prescribed occasionally, and the amount is also small, and it is divided into two types: inpatient and outpatient. "Take our department as an example. In the ward, the department does not store the drug, which is a temporary prescription. When the patient needs the drug, he will go to the pharmacy to get one tablet at a time; in the outpatient clinic, the patient is usually only given a drug for two weeks at a time. If the anxiety disorder is combined, the psychological department will evaluate it before prescribing it." Jiang Rui said.
There is a relatively complete process for taking and storing psychotropic drugs. Mental drugs require a doctor to prescribe them, and nurses go to the pharmacy to collect them as required. For example, the red prescription is sedative and analgesic drugs such as sedatives and analgesics, and the relevant anatomical bottles for this type of drug also need to be recycled.
With the rapid development of social and economics, people's survival pressure has gradually increased. Coupled with the common insomnia problem, the market demand for sedative hypnosis drugs has increased.
According to the research report of Southwest Securities , under the removal of statistics of anesthesia and sedative drugs, in 2021, the market share of TOP5 of domestic hypnotic drugs is zopiclon, dezopiclon , eszolalam, phenobarbital and zopicide respectively. Among them, zopiclon and zopiclon account for more than 60%, while snos belong to zopiclon, accounting for 7%.
According to data statistics from Medical Economic News , in 2021, the sales of hypnosis/sedation drugs in domestic sample hospitals were 1.641 billion yuan, and the purchase of drugs in public hospitals across the country was 5.481 billion yuan. According to data from the past five years, annual sales from 2017 to 2019 showed double-digit growth, with sample hospital sales reaching the maximum in 2021, and increased by 8.46% year-on-year.
At present, there are few players in the domestic market for aphrodisiac drugs, mainly including Hengrui Medicine , Enhua Pharmaceutical, Renfu Pharmaceutical , etc.
But drugs are often only a line away from drugs. According to media reports, in March 2022, the Shanghai Changning District Procuratorate handled a drug trafficking case. The defendant Ji Moumou purchased a large number of state-controlled second-class psychotropic drugs "Sinosi" by making insomnia, using a fictitious insomnia, affordable fraud in many hospitals in Shanghai or placing orders through relevant platforms, and then sold them to customers at a premium and resell them. Based on this, Ji Moumou was prosecuted for drug trafficking.
