To say that Hongmao Liquor is a scam is a bit untrue. Because it is neither using medicinal wine to defraud, nor using medicinal wine to conduct pyramid schemes, but it has come up with high-quality products, and these products have been approved by relevant national departments, and trademark registrations also meet legal requirements. So, cannot be linked to the scam.

However, it is not a scam, and it does not mean that all the actions of Hongmao Liquor are correct and fully comply with national laws and regulations. Because, in the past 10 years, according to the situation reported by the "Health Times", Hongmao medicinal liquor fraud has been punished more than 2,600 times in more than 20 provinces and cities across the country. Therefore, it is also an enterprise that has many illegal problems and refuses to change despite repeated admonitions. Therefore, it is definitely difficult to call it a legal enterprise.

What needs special attention is that the core problem of Hongmao medicinal wine being named medicinal wine is that it is neither a health product nor a wine, but a medicine. It is said to be a drug because it has the approval number "Z15020795" issued by the State Food and Drug Administration. In other words, it is medicine in the true sense of the word. Since it is medicine, it cannot be sold as alcohol or health products, and must be processed by the hospital in the form of a prescription. It is obviously illegal to promote and sell a medicine like a health product or an ordinary commodity. So, after breaking the law more than 2,600 times, why do you continue to break the law and even ask the police to arrest the suspect?

Therefore, from this perspective, the harm Hongmao medicinal wine brings to society is not an ordinary harm, but a relatively large harm. Because selling medicine as wine or health care products is not generally illegal. It’s hard for people to understand why there are still people, especially so-called experts, scholars, and celebrities, supporting him now? It can be seen that the problem that Hongmao Medicinal Liquor has today is no longer a problem of a company, but a problem of a social nature. Those experts, scholars, and celebrities who stand for it should speak out at this moment about why the "medicine" Hongmao Liquor can be sold as wine and health care products. How many interest relationships and transactions are there? If we tell lies with open eyes because of interest relationships and transactions, should the relevant personnel be held accountable?

In fact, this kind of wine is a scam, trapping ignorant consumers. It has no medicinal value at all and relies on advertising to achieve its effect. Why did I go bankrupt with Sanzhu Oral Liquid? It was a miracle drug back then. , a household name. It can be called a miracle, with sales of more than 3 billion. What are the effects of Hongmao Medicinal Liquor? If you drink too much, you will get drunk. As for the medicinal value, it is all lies. Why do we go to the doctor when we get sick? It is all caused by advertising. We only know about Hongmao Medicinal Liquor after watching advertisements. Why did the Procuratorate remand the case for retrial and why did it require additional investigation? Because one-sided evidence alone could not prove his guilt. He said it was poisonous and the manufacturer could not provide medicinal value. The manufacturer's statement could not prove the practical value of Hongmao Liquor. Tan Qindong himself is a doctor. , rich in medical knowledge, what he said about Hongmao medicinal wine is very reasonable, and it is indeed logical through his analysis, so Hongmao medicinal wine will not win the case. The main reason why Tan Qindong was detained was due to local protection concerns. Hongmao Liquor has become a pillar industry in the local area and a major profit and tax maker. If it weren't for the strong support of netizens across the country, Tan Qindong would have been in trouble, and he probably wouldn't have been able to get out, and he would have been convicted in the end. Now it seems that Tan Qindong will definitely win the case, and besides, the officials do not dare to act recklessly due to the pressure of public opinion. Tan Qindong will not be convicted, and in the end the appropriate compensation from the state will end

"For rheumatic bone disease, choose Hongmao Liquor", TV commercials, film and television placements are still vivid in your mind, what do you think is the "Top Ten Complete List" "Building" health food, in fact, it has been a Class A over-the-counter drug since 2003

Recently, the State Food and Drug Administration issued a document stating that it has organized relevant experts to demonstrate the conversion of Hongmao Liquor from an over-the-counter drug into a prescription drug. . What’s the story behind this identity change? Yaoshuo Jun will come and see it with you~

Summary of the story

Hongmao Medicinal Liquor Incident

December 19, 2017

Guangzhou doctor Tan Qindong wrote "Chinese Divine Liquor "Hongmao" Medicinal Wine", the article "Poison from Heaven".

January 10, 2018

Hongmao Liquor claimed that the article caused a profit loss of approximately 1.42 million yuan. Investigators from the Public Security Bureau of Liangcheng County, Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region came to Guangzhou to investigate on suspicion of damage. Tan Qindong was arrested for commodity reputation crime.

April 15, 2018

The case of damage to Hongmao’s business reputation and product reputation was transferred for review and prosecution.

April 16, 2018

April 16, 2018

The State Food and Drug Administration announced that it has organized experts to investigate the origin of Hongmao Liquor. The conversion of over-the-counter drugs into prescription drugs will be demonstrated, and the Food and Drug Administration of the Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region will be instructed to explain the safety and effectiveness of Hongmao Liquor.

April 17, 2018

The Procuratorate of the Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region believed that the facts of the current case were unclear and the evidence was insufficient, so it returned the case to the public security agency for supplementary investigation and changed the compulsory measures.

From beginning to end, there was a constant stream of doubts

The advertisement was untrue

Hongmao medicinal wine advertisements have been banned by 25 provinces and municipalities including Jiangsu, Liaoning, Shanxi, and Hubei. The Food and Drug Administration reported violations 2,630 times and sales were suspended dozens of times.

"Promoting the efficacy of products in the name of experts and patients", "publishing unapproved content", "containing unscientific assertions indicating efficacy", "tampering with approved content without authorization"... Hongmao The reasons why medicinal wines are notified and suspended from sale are always similar, that is, the description of the product's efficacy is untrue and unscientific.

The formula is questionable

The formula of Hongmao medicinal wine contains a variety of toxic and harmful ingredients, and the formula violates the "Eighteen Antis" of traditional Chinese medicine (the compatibility of pinellia and aconite), and the efficacy is still unclear. Clinical data are extremely lacking.

(From Dr. Ning Fanggang of Peking University School of Medicine, whose Weibo name is "Burn Superman Abao")

Medicinal material issues

"Artificial musk" is used in Hongmao medicinal wine "However, words such as "musk" and "natural medicinal materials" appear in the promotion; the "leopard bone" in the formula has problems such as illegal use of endangered animal medicinal materials and lack of special labeling...

(from Dr. Chunyu) WeChat official account)

It must be clear that Hongmao medicinal wine is medicine

Hongmao medicinal wine does have problems such as exaggerated advertising and publicity. The State Food and Drug Administration has ordered companies to conduct The regulatory authorities should explain to the society the reasons and problems for punishing them for false advertising, explain the safety and effectiveness of drugs that the society is concerned about, and strengthen the monitoring of adverse reactions. We need to be patient.

As a patient, first of all, it is clear that Hongmao Liquor is a medicine, an over-the-counter drug, and it may cause serious adverse reactions in a small number of people. From 2004 to the end of 2017, the National Adverse Drug Reaction Monitoring System retrieved 137 adverse reaction reports of Hongmao Liquor. The main adverse reactions were dizziness, itching, rash, vomiting, abdominal pain, etc.

Therefore, in the final analysis, you cannot drink Hongmao medicinal wine as a health product. You must strictly follow the instructions for use. You cannot increase the dosage or frequency of medication at will, and you cannot extend the course of medication without authorization. If adverse reactions occur during medication, the medication should be stopped in time, and severe cases should go to the hospital in time.

The "Hong Mao" is gone, lighter than a feather. As for whether it is a scam, although there is no conclusion, it is an indisputable fact because Hongmao once became popular all over the country and became famous.

However, it is also a abnormal product of the times. With the continuous regulation of the market and the improvement of people's legal and health concepts, some problems of Hongmao Liquor's goods and prices have been exposed, and then it lost its past. aura.

Even if his management team and the local government are considering protecting economic growth, no matter how hard they try to achieve the goal of regaining it, it has become a vanishing bubble that can never be retained. The illusory dreams of the past.

Although there are sixty or seventy traditional Chinese medicines in Hongmao, it is still unclear how much precious leopard bone is contained in it. Even if it is present, how much effect it has, it is also uncertain.

When the veil of mystery no longer exists, it has completely lost its value and significance. Is it still necessary to struggle and question whether it is a scam?

(Internet picture)

The Hongmao Medicinal Liquor incident was caused by Tan Qindong, a practicing doctor in Guangzhou, who posted a personal message to his circle of friends and acquaintances in a small circle in December 2017. After having different opinions and evaluations on whether Hongmao medicinal wine produced in Inner Mongolia can cure diseases, the Liangcheng County police in Inner Mongolia arrested him for the crime of damaging the reputation of the product and has been arresting him ever since.

Whether Hongmao medicinal wine is poisonous? Dr. Tan said that the wine is a traditional Chinese medicine and is toxic. There is a lot of controversy in the society. In order to demonstrate democratic supervision, the different opinions of the society on this incident are now listed for the reference of relevant parties:

First, according to the crime of damaging the reputation of goods in the criminal law, the main It refers to the crime of damaging the reputation of a specific product by a specific person by fabricating false information and spreading a large number of false statements to the public, thus causing heavy losses.

Second, Dr. Tan did not fabricate false information in the first place. It is a fact that Hongmao Liquor has been banned by more than 20 provincial drug regulatory authorities because it was considered to have false advertising! There is no so-called false information fabricated by Tan. On the contrary, everyone believed that Tan reflected the real situation.

Third, as a traditional Chinese medicine, wine itself is toxic, and it is three parts poisonous. This medicinal wine is indeed toxic to some acute diseases, such as hepatitis, nephritis, proteinuria patients, lung disease, thick swelling, dysentery and other diseases, so it should not be drunk. It will have great effects after drinking.

Fourth, it is inappropriate to say that Dr. Tan spreads information to the public on a large scale. Tan only posted to specific acquaintances and circles of friends. The large scope mentioned in the criminal law refers to unspecified groups of people and the unspecified public.

Fifth, the purpose of releasing information is different. Mr. Tan released the news for the sake of people's health, so as to prevent some elderly people and the above-mentioned patients from accidentally taking or taking medicinal wine by mistake, which may cause adverse consequences. Tan has no motive or purpose of slandering the drug for obtaining any benefits after drinking. The criminal purpose of the crime of damaging product reputation mentioned in the Criminal Law is to obtain commercial benefits.

Sixth, the laws governing mediation are different. Dr. Tan and Hongmao Medicinal Liquor have different evaluations of the properties and uses of the products, which falls within the scope of civil law adjustments. Does not apply to criminal law.

In summary, in order to enable the parties concerned to feel fairness and justice in every case, and to correctly implement the principles and policies of governing the country according to law proposed by the Party at the 19th National Congress, the cases handled can withstand history. Inspection, please ask relevant departments to accept social supervision.

Hongmao, Sanzhu, Qinchi, Kongfu, Shapuaisi, Melatonin. The bad thing is the people's TV station and the people's radio station. As long as you give money, it doesn't matter whether it is true or not, and who cares who it cheats.

Hongmao Medicinal Liquor is not a scam, but the "marketing" of Hongmao Medicinal Liquor looks like a scam.

Hongmao Liquor is an over-the-counter traditional Chinese medicine approved by the State Council. This is documented. Medicinal wine itself is not a scam. However, the operators of Hongmao Medicinal Liquor are suspected of seriously misleading consumers through exaggerated facts and illegal advertising.

As a traditional Chinese medicine, Hongmao medicinal wine definitely has indications that it can treat or assist in treatment, and it also has a clear scope of application and suitable groups. However, the operators of Hongmao medicinal wine package Hongmao medicinal wine It is obviously against the basic principle of "integrity management" to become a "magic wine" that can "cure all diseases".

It is common sense that medicines are not general consumer goods and cannot be sold according to the marketing model of general consumer goods. Packaging over-the-counter medicines as "health-care wine" and marketing them as general "health products", such irresponsible marketing as "Two sips a day, you can drink away the disease" is "deceiving" consumers.

In fact, there are many so-called "magic medicines", "magic patches", "magic pills" and other "magic products" that are doing "unnecessary" things to "deceive consumers". "Good management", Hongmao Liquor just suffered the consequences because its "ignorance is fearless" was exposed.

The only reason is that the general quality of the Chinese people, especially the middle-aged and elderly people, is low. They believe a few sweet-sounding advertising slogans to be true. Even though they are deceived, they don’t know it. That’s why Shapuaisi and Hongmao Liquor are available. , Melatonin and the like are so popular! No one with a little common sense will believe such nonsense as "false advertising". The so-called "star endorsements" are worthless! From the moment of endorsement, I don't regard these people as celebrities.

Clearly a scam.

First of all, you have to understand why drugs and health care products should be managed separately. Drugs are targeted at patients at specific stages of specific diseases. In principle, drugs can have toxic and side effects. As long as the toxic and side effects are clear and far less than the therapeutic benefits, they can be put on the market. Health products are also called health foods. They are intended for healthy people as well as patients. Generally, they are not required to have statistically significant effects, but they need to be proven to have no toxic or side effects and can be taken safely for a long time. Therefore, the management of health care products and the management of drugs are different.

A drug that obviously has toxic and side effects and is used for short-term symptomatic treatment conceals the risk of possible toxic and side effects and is promoted as a health product. It is open to all consumers, including healthy people, and is encouraged. And induced to be taken regularly as health food. This is not a scam, what else is a scam? If someone sells antibiotics as health care products and allows healthy people to eat them randomly, do you think they are a liar?

Regardless of whether it is a scam or not, I will not buy it again just because of the arrest of people across provinces
