As the domestic epidemic situation in Thailand is getting worse, many people are lining up for vaccination. Because of the sudden increase in demand, vaccines have become "hard to find" in Thailand. Many Thais have turned their attention to some preventive drugs.
In the long list of medicines, Lianhua Qingwen capsules are the most sought-after. Many people even took risks to engage in illegal activities for profit. Some criminals smuggled a large number of Lianhua Qingwen Capsules and even manufactured counterfeit and inferior drugs.
These counterfeit drugs are smuggled into Thailand, or after they are manufactured, they are sold online or offline through various channels in Thailand. At present, the market is flooded with these counterfeit drugs. As a result, the Thai police recently launched a number of crackdown operations to ban illegal sales.
During the operation, the well-known Thai actress Pooklook Fonthip and the internet celebrity Nara Crepe-Katoie and others were arrested. They will face prosecution from the agent of the drug in Thailand for allegedly selling Lianhua Qingwen Capsules illegally. After conviction, these people will be sentenced to a maximum of 3 years in prison and fined.
As early as April last year, the Chinese medicine Lianhua Qingwen Capsules obtained a license in Thailand and was allowed to be sold in Thailand. At that time, it triggered a panic buying frenzy, and the rebound of the epidemic caused the drug to fall short of supply.
In response, the Deputy Secretary-General of the Thai Food and Drug Commission reminded that, except for regulations, it is prohibited to sell on other occasions, including hospitals and pharmacies.
The deputy secretary-general also reminded that the authentic packaging is affixed with a Thai language label and marked with the Thai Food and Drug Administration or the FDA batch number. Please pay attention to identification and do not buy through other channels to avoid the consumption of fake drugs.
However, even facing a maximum of 10 years in prison and a fine of 200,000 yuan, many people still illegally sell Lianhua Qingwen capsules, and Thai internet celebrity Nara Crepe-Katoie is one of them.
On foreign social media software, she has 1.43 million followers, and she sells them in live webcasts every day. Not only did she introduce the preventive effect of Lianhua Qingwen Capsules, she even said that there are examples of new coronary pneumonia cured after taking the drug.
The capsules she sells are priced at RMB 70 per box. During the live broadcast, the internet celebrity assured its fans that the medicines sold are genuine. After the incident, the police inspected the medicines she sold, and the results showed that all of them were fake medicines.
But even if the real medicine is sold, the Thai internet celebrity has violated the law, because the live webcast room is obviously not in the legal place of sale.
In addition to this internet celebrity, Thai popular actor Pooklook Fonthip has also been implicated. Prior to this, she had posted an advertisement selling Lianhua Qingwen Capsules on her social media account, and said that she had an exclusive source of goods and was absolutely genuine.
found after investigation that the celebrity sold genuine products, but due to Thailand’s express regulations prohibiting online drug sales, Pooklook Fonthip will also face prosecution.
