The development status of the tablets

1. Raw materials. Due to the deteriorating ecological environment and over-exploitation, many wild Chinese herbal resources can no longer meet the demand, and are even on the verge of extinction, such as wild ginseng, Tianma, Panax ginseng, Cordyceps Sinensis, Tiger, Leopard, Musk and Bear. The artificially planted Chinese herbal medicines, due to the lack of pharmacological knowledge of farmers, the arbitrary use of chemical fertilizers, do not carry out timely harvesting and appropriate processing of origin, the germplasm mix, species degradation, heavy metals, pesticide residues exceeding the standard and other quality problems. In addition, inappropriate seed introduction also makes many herbs do not have the authenticity, such as cow's knee and wild cow's knee, Angelica dahurica and Dahuang, etc..

2, processing and concocting aspects of Chinese medicine concocting is China's unique traditional pharmaceutical technology, Chinese medicine tablets are Chinese herbal medicine concocted processed products, the quality of which is directly related to the people's safety and efficacy of medicines. At present, there is no completely unified standard for the cutting or preparation of tablets in the country. Such as cutting of Chinese medicine tablets specifications piece class, silk class, segment class and various auxiliary materials with the standard process of frying and concoctions, even if there is now a standard is not equal, there are large differences, so that the efficacy of the tablets in the clinical application of the impact of a great deal.

3, the traditional form of Chinese medicine tablets traditional tablets refers to the current national and local standards contained, can visually identify the varieties of tablets. Its shortcomings for the formulation of the dose is inaccurate, the amount of large and need to be decocted, thick tablets, the active ingredient decoction rate is low, packaging is simple, easy to cascade the flavor, the quality of the factors affecting the poor hygiene and environmental health, the formulation of the work of intensive, slow, high error rate and difficult to automate the transfer.

4, traditional Chinese medicine tablets production enterprises traditional Chinese medicine tablets industry foundation is poor, technological transformation started late, is the weakest link in the traditional Chinese medicine industry, the overall level of the industry is still very low, manifested in the production of many enterprises, small scale, low efficiency, technology development and innovation ability is weak, backward production technology and equipment, management is not standardized and other issues. The vast majority of Chinese medicine tablets production enterprises are workshop-type processing sites, production conditions are simple, production, quality testing equipment is backward, the enterprise's modern management experience and lack of professional and technical personnel, so that the loss of the active ingredients of the medicinal herbs, the quality of the tablets is difficult to ensure.

5, Chinese medicine tablets packaging packaging is commodity storage, transportation, circulation to ensure the quality of goods, so that it is not contaminated means. The traditional packaging of tablets is simple, mainly for sacks, grass (bushes, mats) bags, cloth bags, chemical fiber bags, easy to string flavor, little inner packaging, instructions and batch number, lack of uniform specifications.

6, Chinese medicine market in recent years, due to the lack of quality supervision means and market management laxity, Chinese medicine market standardization has been very low, substandard, fake, price fraud phenomenon occurs from time to time, such as "ginseng potato" as "yam ", to "ginseng" as "psyllium", "tiger's thorn" as "baji tian "

7, Chinese medicine tablets blending Chinese medicine blending since the Song Dynasty, has been to arbitrage scales one by one weighing and blending based on this blending mode of operation in certain historical conditions should be said to be feasible, there are historical achievements. However, with the progress of society, its shortcomings have gradually emerged, such as staff standing work, frequent walks back and forth, heavy labor load; drugs stored in bulk packages, in the group operation process caused serious air pollution, indoor "dirty, messy, poor" phenomenon is more common, the image of the pharmacy staff and pharmacy work should be the academic atmosphere have been damaged, making the pharmacy staff, and the academic atmosphere has been damaged. The image of the pharmacy staff and the academic atmosphere of pharmacy work are damaged, and the physical and mental health of the pharmacy staff is jeopardized for a long time. At the same time, the dose is not allowed, it is difficult to check the medicines after mixing the package, it is difficult to find and correct the mistakes and leakage of the medicines, and it takes up too much manpower as the operation of mixing and the waiting time of the patients for the medicines are long.

8, human resources, despite the traditional advantages of Chinese medicine tablets in China, but China's scientific and technological team is weak, the serious brain drain, the preparation of professionals even less, and even face the situation of lack of successors. The introduction of new technologies and methods such as biotechnology, information technology and other modern high-tech in the science and technology of traditional Chinese medicine tablets has not yet attracted sufficient attention, and not many practitioners.
