Chapter 278 Side Effects? Are you sure it's not a blessing in disguise?
……
"The efficacy of the drug will not be a problem. It definitely has very obvious advantages."
"This drug is better than all current treatment options for HIV, and the effect will be very significant."
Chen Xuan replied immediately.
How could the drug formula produced by the system be mediocre?
As long as the drug formula is produced by the system, it is basically ahead of the times.
In terms of therapeutic effects, adverse reactions, etc., it is only better than all similar drugs in the world, and not just a little bit better.
He had never worried about this and had indeed verified it many times.
"That's good. The current treatment plans are actually mainly focused on delaying the disease."
"If this new drug can completely cure HIV, it will be a major achievement in the field of global medicine."
"But what are the adverse reactions you're talking about? Are the adverse reactions to this drug serious?"
Luo Shiyun suddenly thought of this.
For a drug, in addition to its therapeutic effect, adverse reactions are also very important.
As the saying goes, medicine is equal to three parts poison.
Life-saving medicine is also poison.
Most drugs have side effects, but they have different side effects, and the severity of the side effects is also different, and they will manifest differently in each person.
Some drugs can cause dizziness, diarrhea, itching, etc.
It’s just that some people don’t react at all, while some people react very severely.
The specific situation varies from person to person.
However, as long as the drug has obvious therapeutic effects and its side effects are within the acceptable range for the human body, it can be approved for marketing.
After all, the key is to cure the disease first and keep yourself alive.
However, if the side effects of the drug are too obvious, or even endanger the safety of the patient, it will definitely not be approved for marketing.
Some drugs that were already on the market were suddenly withdrawn from the market because their side effects were later discovered to be too serious, forcing them to be completely withdrawn.
Therefore, Luo Shiyun felt that Chen Xuan kept emphasizing the adverse reactions of this drug because the side effects of this drug were very serious.
If the side effects are too severe, the product will definitely not be able to be marketed, and even clinical trials may not be applied for.
“Men and women react differently.”
"If a woman takes this drug in advance, her body will produce antibodies that can prevent her from being infected with HIV, and the effect will last for 24 to 48 hours."
"But at the same time, this drug will change women's hormones in a short period of time, making it impossible for women to conceive normally during this period. This is a side effect of women taking this drug."
"Although it won't cause harm to women's bodies, and certainly won't result in lifelong infertility, it's still a side effect."
While Chen Xuan was speaking, his eyes were always looking out the window, as if there was some beautiful scenery there.
Luo Shiyun...
Well, isn’t this the “contraceptive pill”?
She didn't speak in a hurry, waiting for Chen Xuan's next words.
Since women have side effects, men will naturally have them too.
Sure enough, after the silence, Chen Xuan mentioned another side effect.
"The adverse reactions women experience are acceptable."
"But the adverse reactions in men are relatively difficult to accept because this drug can stimulate a certain organ in men."
"After taking it, this organ will be strengthened, and this is uncontrollable, even if the user doesn't want to."
At this point, Chen Xuan's expression became a little serious. "I don't think every patient can tolerate this kind of adverse reaction, as it will cause great distress."
Luo Shiyun...
At this time, she finally understood why he found it so difficult to speak.
Because this adverse reaction is really hard to describe and is too sensitive.
"For patients, this reaction can really cause distress."
"Because they may not have the opportunity to resolve the problem during the treatment process, this does cause some inconvenience."
"But if it doesn't harm the body, then there's no big problem. But for non-patients, it's completely different..." As Luo Shiyun was talking, her eyes suddenly widened.
She thought of...another market.
Same thing, sold in different ways.
Maybe the effect...
"What do you mean?" Chen Xuan asked a little puzzled.
"I mean non-HIV patients."
"Or, this is also a type of patient, but they are a different type of patient, and this group of people with this disease may be in great need of this drug."
"Moreover, the number of this group may be very astonishing, and it is entirely possible to develop a drug specifically for treating this disease." After Luo Shiyun changed her thinking, she suddenly felt enlightened.
If this effect is considered a side effect, then the problem is indeed serious.
But if it is not considered a side effect, but instead is considered one of the main functions of this drug, the result will be completely different.
If the effect is significant, this drug may shine in another arena.
This made Luo Shiyun feel that the prospects for this drug were very good. Now it mainly depended on how obvious the side effects were.
Maybe the more obvious the side effects are, the higher the sales will be, or even there will be no demand for the product.
Upon hearing this, Chen Xuan's eyes lit up.
I finally understood what Luo Shiyun meant.
If we think about the problem from a different perspective, this side effect will no longer be a side effect, but rather... an indication.
Furthermore, this indication will be urgently needed for treatment by a very large group of people. If it really has a significant effect, maybe...
Like a certain little blue pill.
It was originally used for heart treatment.
Later, it was discovered that irritation to certain organs could also be considered a side effect.
It’s just that this side effect was magnified and directly utilized, which later directly created a market value of over 100 billion yuan.
Even after so many years, this little blue pill still has a huge market.
This shows that this side effect is indeed very popular and is indeed needed by many people.
Of course, Chen Xuan definitely doesn’t need it.
Otherwise, if he had thought about it in this way from the beginning, he would not have been troubled by this side effect.
If Zhang San were there, he would probably have jumped up with excitement.
"That makes sense. What you said makes sense."
"We will first apply for clinical trials and then test the market response."
"If this market is really promising, we will develop in this direction in the future."
After thinking about it, Chen Xuan quickly made a decision.
Both of these drugs are produced by the system and are bound to be ahead of the world's drug technology. It is basically impossible for them to be ordinary.
In this case, he can boldly apply for clinical trials without worrying about failure in his hands. He should find a way to get it on the market as soon as possible.
Initially, he thought the market for a pancreatic cancer drug would be enormous, but now he thinks the market for the second drug will be even larger.
After all, the second type of drug has two main functions: it can both treat and block HIV, which in itself is already a very large market.
The two main functions combined are enough to make this new drug generate astonishing sales, far larger than the pancreatic cancer market.
There are indeed many patients with pancreatic cancer.
But no matter how many more there are, it is difficult to match this demand.
