“Intravenous human immunoglobulin, which is a blood product, is not for everyone. And there are trade-offs when using it, and its adverse reactions are also very big.”

Following montelukast, norfloxacin, intravenous human immunoglobulin was also snapped up, Huang Guoxin, deputy director of the Department of Pharmacy of Dongfang Hospital affiliated to Tongji University, expressed these concerns in an interview with reporters.

Recently, the reporter searched for “globulin”, “immunoglobulin” and “gammaglobulin” as keywords on social media platforms such as Xiaohongshu and Idlefish and found that there were many online platforms selling The price of one static human immunoglobulin is marked up to 2550 yuan. However, the reporter searched China’s pharmaceutical information platform and found that the market reference price of a sedative human immunoglobulin was 298 to 700 yuan.

Professional pharmacists and science experts reminded that ordinary static human immunoglobulin does not target the new crown infection, which has no antibodies to the new crown, and is generally used only for seriously ill patients; because of possible adverse reactions during the infusion infusion, the product must be used in accordance with medical advice, the general public do not use at will, and do not hoard.

The network platform is sold at a high price, someone said from the scalper to buy goods

On January 4, in the idle fish second-hand trading platform, there are a lot of selling or seeking to acquire information on the static injection of human immunoglobulin.

The reporter noticed that many sellers in the link title intentionally avoid directly present “gammaglobulin” “immunoglobulin” and other words, but with the symbol split or emoji instead, and most of the picture with the drug has nothing to do.

The reporter contacted a number of idle fish sellers, they sell different manufacturers of static injection human immunoglobulin, usually a specification of 2.5g (5% 50ml). For example, a seller marked 999 yuan a, the actual selling price of 1200 yuan; there are some sellers marked high prices, the actual selling price in the thousands of yuan, such as a marked price of 88888 yuan a the actual selling price of 1800 yuan, marked price of 9200 yuan a the actual selling price of 2100 yuan.

A seller named “direct hair specials” said he was not a drug dealer, the drug is the family’s elderly new crown infection got “white lung”, from the scalpers to buy the price of 2100 yuan a, claiming that it sold and no markup.

Another seller from Hubei Xianning said he was also a family member of the patient, his old man found lung fibrosis plus glass nodules, the use of gammaglobulin after the CT review has improved.

He said there are currently two in hand, and now ready to go to 1800 yuan a price to buy four more. “It is difficult to buy, Wuhan scalpers are sold to more than 2,000.” The seller said, “The average pharmacy is only 600 yuan, but you can’t buy it.”

In addition to claiming to buy from scalpers and then resell, there are also sellers who claim to be booked directly at pharmacies. The seller named “Yeese” said that he was selling the static injection human immunoglobulin from the pharmacy, “I paid to order. He then added that “pharmacies can’t buy it, I’m not even here in the small 18-line counties.” The seller sells for 1200 yuan a, for the purchase price in the pharmacy, the seller refused to disclose.

The company’s main business is to provide a wide range of products and services to the public.

The “opposite direction of the clock” claimed to be the owner of a pharmacy in Jiangmen, Guangdong, and he bought 4 boxes of 20 static human immunoglobulins from a pharmaceutical company at a price of about 530 yuan, and sold them at a price of 600 yuan each, which has been sold out. It said that the store is basically not short of any drugs, has slowly started to resume supply, but the amount of drugs is not much. He is trying not to sell the whole box, try to retail so that everyone has the drug can be used.

The reporter found on the night of January 5, the small red book platform is also filled with a variety of drug information: “human immunoglobulin million-state where there immunoglobulin” “immunoglobulin help need who has ah” “urgent need immunoglobulin medicine 30 The …… Little Red Book platform will be marked with a risk reminder “Please seek medical attention when you are unwell, the medical field is highly specialized, please go to the regular medical place for medical treatment”.

Experts reminded: the sedative immunoglobulin can not be used freely, reserved for those who really need it

In response to the current situation of snapping up immunoglobulin, Huang Guoxin, deputy director of the Department of Pharmacy at Dongfang Hospital of Tongji University, expressed concern that “this drug is usually used in hospitals are more nervous, once the hoarding of drugs, resulting in hospitals out of stock, the real need to use the drug people can not use how?”

Huang Guoxin introduced the static injection of human immunoglobulin is a blood product, not everyone is applicable. “And with the need to weigh the pros and cons, its adverse reactions are also very large.”

According to Huang Guoxin, the product is generally used in the clinic for patients in the intensive care unit. Clinical indications are mainly used for: 1, primary immunoglobulin deficiency or hypo; 2, primary thrombocytopenic purpura; 3, severe infection; 4, Kawasaki disease.

Huang Guoxin introduced that immunoglobulins can also produce many adverse reactions during use, such as chills, fever, chest pain, edema, and allergic reactions, including maculopapular rash and erythematous rash of the skin.

The immunoglobulin for new coronavirus infection mentioned in the “Novel Coronavirus Pneumonia Treatment Plan (Trial Version 9)” is specifically named “COVID-19 Immunoglobulin”, not the common “static injection of human immunoglobulin”, said science expert Wang Silu. The specific name of the immunoglobulin mentioned in the “New Coronary Infection” is “COVID-19 immunoglobulin”, not “human immunoglobulin by intravenous injection”.

COVID-19 immunoglobulin is a special immunoglobulin for neocon, which contains a large number of antibodies to neocon. The common static human immunoglobulin on the market is generally used for patients with serious bacterial or viral infections, close contacts of viral hepatitis, elderly patients with low immunity and serious illness, neonatal sepsis, etc. In addition to other treatments, static human immunoglobulin is sometimes needed as an adjunct to The treatment is to temporarily improve the immunity of the body.

Wang Silu introduced that the gammaglobulin that has been in the news in the past two days is actually immunoglobulin. It is prepared from the blood of healthy people, a non-specific immune booster, mainly used to treat primary immunoglobulin deficiency, secondary immunoglobulin deficiency and autoimmune diseases, is used for severe infections, inflammatory factor storm and the so-called immune regulation.

The casual use of intravenous immunoglobulin in the general population is likely to result in a number of adverse reactions during infusion infusion, including panic, nausea, headache, rash, etc., the specifics of which are related to individual differences. In addition, if you go to some illegal, non-compliant, unhygienic and unsafe places to inject immunoglobulin will be more dangerous, and may even be infected with blood-borne diseases such as hepatitis B and AIDS.

Wang Silu reminded that the medicine should be used in accordance with medical advice, not at your own discretion. Mild and common type of new crown patients also do not use immunoglobulin at all, so people should not use it at will, and do not hoard it.
