In 2014, someone brought 16 bottles of compound licorice tablets to the United States. It was believed that carried the contraband and ordered that they could not enter the country within 5 years.
my country's The National Drug Administration issued a notice in July 2013, requiring pharmaceutical retail enterprises to set up counters for compound licorice tablets, and is managed by a dedicated person and registered for special book .
By March 2020, the State Administration of Drug Administration revised the drug instructions for compound licorice tablets, pointing out that compound licorice tablets contain opium , which will affect the morphine detection of urine during the medication use and within 3 to 4 days after stopping the medication; if is taken for a long time, dependent may occur; it may lead to hypokalemia.

Virazole mainly includes injections, aerosols, nose drops, oral preparations, etc. in my country, and is more clinically abused. has no approved injections in some European and American countries.
In 2006, the State Administration of Drug Administration warned of the safety of virazole. A large number of studies have shown that has confirmed that virazole has obvious teratogenic and embryo killing toxic effects through animal experiments.

anginaxin belongs to the antipyrazoleone class, and became a commonly used antipyretic and analgesic drug in clinical practice in the 1920s, but in the 1970s, it attracted widespread attention due to serious adverse reactions. The US FDA officially banned Anaijin in 1977.
In my country, policies have been introduced to restrict the use of Annaijing on many occasions, and in 1982 the former Ministry of Health eliminated compound Annaijing tablets. By 2020, Annaijing products of various dosage forms also stopped being produced, sold and used in my country.
Although still has some Annain drugs whose production approval number has not been cancelled, is being circulated in 2020, the National Medical Products Administration revised the instructions for Annainin tablets and added warnings. reminds that it may cause serious adverse reactions in the blood system and may lead to serious allergic reactions . It is only used in severe cases and no other drugs can replace it. It is prohibited for teenagers and children under the age of 18.
pidomad is an artificially synthesized immune promoter. It was once a best-selling pediatric drug, but there is still a lack of high-quality and reliable clinical research.

On January 14, 2021, the National Medical Products Administration of my country announced that it would stop the production, sales and use of of phenolphthalein tablets and phenolphthalein lozenges in my country, and cancel the drug registration certificate.
