Our newspaper, Shenyang, December 19th (Reporter Liu Xu) With the increase in the number of people infected with the new coronavirus, there is a shortage of antipyretic and analgesic drugs in some places.

However, recently, many citizens in Shenyang discovered at the Northeast Pharmacy of Liaoning Fangda Group Northeast Pharmaceutical Group Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as Northeast Pharmaceutical) that a pack of 20 paracetamol tablets only sells for 2 yuan. Praise as a conscience enterprise.

"We have been producing this medicine for half a century. Because the common people recognize it, we have been insisting on producing it, and the price has never been raised." Today, Wang Weilin, director of the Northeast Pharmaceutical Production Command Center, told a reporter from the "Worker's Daily".

　　Founded in 1946, Northeast Pharmaceuticals is an important pharmaceutical production and export base in my country. Its products include antiviral series medicines, cardiovascular and cerebrovascular system medicines, analgesic and cough relief series medicines, biological diagnosis series products, and general health field series products, etc. 10 Large series of high-quality products, more than 400 kinds of chemical raw materials, pharmaceutical intermediates and preparation products, leading products are exported to more than 100 countries and regions.

In order to ensure the needs of epidemic prevention and control, Northeast Pharmaceuticals quickly adjusted its production plan and went all out to produce epidemic prevention and control drugs.

　　Shi Yanling, deputy head of the party-mass work department of Northeast Pharmaceuticals, said: "On the one hand, we will increase production capacity at full capacity to ensure the supply of medicines; on the other hand, we will also ensure that medicines are delivered to our pharmacies as soon as possible."

　　At the production line of compound acetaminophen amine tablets in the 101 branch of Northeast Pharmaceutical, the reporter saw that the fully automated production line was running continuously, and boxes of medicines were being packed and boxed, waiting to be shipped out of the warehouse.

　　Compound acetaminophen tablets contain antipyretic, analgesic and antiviral ingredients, which are suitable for relieving fever, headache, sore limbs, sneezing, runny nose, nasal congestion, sore throat and other symptoms caused by the common cold and influenza.

In addition to compound acetaminophen tablets, the demand for acetaminophen tablets, which was included in the "Reference List of Commonly Used Drugs for Home Treatment of Patients with New Coronavirus Infection" issued by the Joint Prevention and Control Mechanism of the State Council, has also seen a surge in demand, and the supply is in short supply.

　　Acetaminophen tablets, also known as paracetamol tablets, are suitable for fever caused by the common cold or influenza, and are also used to relieve mild to moderate pain, such as headache, joint pain, migraine, toothache, muscle pain, neuralgia, etc.

Gao Tiemin, deputy director of the 101 branch factory, said that after receiving the additional production scheduling instructions from the company, the branch factory made emergency dispatches and made reasonable arrangements to increase production at full capacity in the form of increased shifts, and went all out to ensure the supply of the above-mentioned drugs.

"The current daily production capacity is twice as high as usual," Gao Tiemin said.

　　In addition to the sharp increase in demand for antipyretic and analgesic drugs, vitamin C has also become a hot-selling product.

As a mainstream supplier of vitamin C in the world, Northeast Pharmaceuticals has both vitamin C raw materials and preparation products. Most of the preparations such as vitamin C tablets, vitamin C chewable tablets, and vitamin C granules are sold domestically, and are currently stepping up production.

　　"It is the responsibility of our pharmaceutical companies to ensure a stable supply in the market and meet the drug needs of the people. As long as there is demand in the market, we will go all out to ensure production." Wang Weilin said.
