Drug quantity purchase in China has reshaped the pattern of drug market with lower price of generic drugs and relatively higher price of original brand-name drugs. However, most Chinese people do not trust the safety and efficacy of the generic drugs that sold at a very low price. Ultra-low price of generic agents may weaken patients' drug recognition and compliance, and affect the implementation of drug quantity purchase policy.
中国的药品集中采购重塑了药品市场格局,仿制药价格较低,原研品牌药价格相对较高。然而,大多数中国人不信任以极低价格出售的仿制药的安全性和有效性。仿制药的超低价格可能会削弱患者对药物的认知和依从性,并影响药品集中采购政策的实施。
