Smoked sulphur craft of Chinese medicinal materials overflows National standard or issuing
To there is the media that reports some herbalists and trade companies in Gansu use the phenomenon of crude drugs such as sulfur stifling Chinese angelica,etc., national Bureau of Drugs Supervision issues " notice on further doing quality supervision of Chinese medicinal materials well " formally recently, require traditional Chinese medicine preparation and traditional Chinese medicine decoction pieces manufacturing enterprise to make the limit index of the remaining amount of sulfur dioxide, accuse of the standard while measuring as the enterprise supplies. All enterprises have not made sulfur dioxide residues and accused of the standard while measuring on request, not according to accusing of the standard to examine to buying Chinese medicinal materials or traditional Chinese medicine decoction pieces inside, among them crude drugs or traditional Chinese medicine decoction pieces can't be used for producing and throwing the material.
The notice also especially points out, national Bureau of Drugs Supervision has been already making Chinese medicinal materials and limit standard of the remaining amount of sulfur dioxide of decoction pieces of traditional Chinese medicine.
Before this, accuse of standard and national standard lack, Chinese medicinal materials fight sulphur, take place frequently illegally, but it is difficult that the supervision department at the basic level is general and is enforced the law.
The national standard is late
Chinese Chinese medicine basic theory researcher of research institute Professor Zhou ChaoFan of academy of sciences says when being interviewed by the south reporter, the stifling craft of sulfur at present has already lost flavour, and cause this " crooked ways " The immediate cause to overflow is that the economic benefits are driven, and even more important reason, it is the standard that is lacked.
In fact, our country has already expressed regulations and forbidden using sulfur stifling Chinese medicinal materials. Because sulfur is stifling it will cause crude drugs to remain poisonous harmful substances such as the sulfur dioxide,etc. or soaks the preparation method of Chinese medicinal materials, article 49 of the current " law of medicine management " stipulates: Use sulfur stifling crude drugs, should punish according to bad medicine. In addition, in 2000 the edition had also already stipulated, besides Chinese yam, all other Chinese medicinal materials can't use sulfur stiflingly or soak in " national pharmacopoeia ". 2005 edition " national pharmacopoeia " has further deleted the Chinese yam and used the stifling method of sulfur while processing even more.
The latest edition " national pharmacopoeia " begins to carry out on October 1, 2010, this edition of pharmacopoeias specially add the detection method of the content of sulfur dioxide in an appendix. But the more sorry one is, our country has not been issuing Chinese medicinal materials and limit standard of the remaining amount of sulfur dioxide of decoction pieces of traditional Chinese medicine all the time.
Seeing that standard lack, 2004, Chinese medicinal materials play the intersection of sulphur and issue media behind the extensive report excessively, national Bureau of Drugs Supervision once specially issued " reply on adopting the stifling question of sulfur to Chinese medicinal materials " for this, give a written reply to the requirement: "As to some Chinese medicinal materials and traditional Chinese medicine decoction pieces in the field of market circulation, through adopting sulfur stiflingly or soaking, reaching the behavior that the appearance bleaches, should investigate and prosecute according to violating the regulation of article 49, article 75 of " law of medicine management ". "
However, Gansu once and other places can be seen to produce this question once again from then on, the aforesaid function of giving a written reply had not obviously reached the anticipated result.
The standard sold inside the country remains to keep up with the export standard
According to the introduction of Zhou ChaoFan, sulfur is stifling as a kind of traditional craft, used only in few varieties in the past, its purpose mainly lies in the protection against insects defends eating. But this craft has already been abused at present.
"It is smoked to bring sulfur everything now, the purpose has already been twisted, the present purpose is mainly to brighten, increase weight. After excessively hitting sulphur, the selling, meeting very good of crude drugs and decoction pieces, but pH value will change, medicine properties certainly will change correspondingly, the final drug effect will drop too. " Zhou ChaoFan points out in this way.
The reporter inquires 2010 current edition " national pharmacopoeia " finds, sulfur is regarded as one kind of Chinese medicinal materials, itself is toxic crude drugs. The new edition of officinal description of him is that " the acid is warm, poisonous " ,And it should be careful to think the pregnant woman to use.
Seeing that medical research has already proved, contact sulfur and can cause mucomembranous cells to make a variation for a long time, there is serious damage function on respiratory tract mucous membrane, digestive tract mucous membrane of the human body, have direct influence on the liver renal function too. Use South Korea of Chinese medicinal materials extensively too, has already released and revised motions " about the norm of the heavy metal and method of testing in medical herbs " in September of 2007, and the revision motion " about the norm of sulfur dioxide residues and method of testing in medical herbs ", fix the supreme limit of sulfur dioxide in 72 kinds of medical herbs for 30 milligrams per kilogram.
As far as reporter know, the improvement of this export standard, though has increased the cost of nearly 20% of enterprise, but the export enterprise of Chinese medicinal materials of our country will not have dropped to the share without sulphur crude drugs of South Korea, Japanese exit by a wide margin in 2010. And corresponding to it, our country because the standard is lacked, includes sulphur crude drugs and propagate its belief on a large scale.
The expert points out, the standard sold inside the country has not kept up with the export standard, an important reason is that our country lacks the mandatory sector standard. In fact, so long as increase input, the present low temperature dries technology and standardized storage condition, can well guarantee Chinese medicinal materials have no sulfur to save.
