On this day, all users who uploaded cases on the Longtu app received a system message.

"Dear users, Longtu's latest function 'Shared Laboratory' will start trial operation tomorrow. Due to limited conditions, only the laboratory in Kunming is currently open. Users in need are welcome to experience it."

For most users, this is just an ordinary, unremarkable push.

Although they are also patients, they can buy treatment drugs from medicine, so they don't understand the meaning of this news at all.

Many people don’t even know how to open it, let alone click in to see the ‘shared lab’ feature.

But for other patients, it's completely different.

To them, this news is like the sound of nature. It is the good news they have been waiting for for a long time.

A patient group called the Bronze Doll Self-Help Group has about two to three hundred members.

At this moment, the group was in a state of excitement.

"@ Leading Brother, the shared laboratory is ready. Are we going to start it?"

"Group leader, everyone is waiting for your news."

"Fortunately, the group leader is in Suzhou City, not far from the laboratory in Kunming City, so we will definitely be able to catch the first wave of experience."

The leader of the group quickly took the lead. He didn't say much and his reply was simple and clear.

"Everything is ready, don't worry, I'll take care of everything."

At the same time, a screenshot was posted. It was him who booked a three-hour shared laboratory order on Longtu.

The group of friends immediately applauded enthusiastically.

"As expected of the big brother who takes the lead, we are waiting for the good news from big brother."

"Brother, can you do a live broadcast tomorrow? I want to learn."

"Big brother is awesome, I will always follow in his footsteps!"

The leader is a man who cherishes words like gold. The second sentence only has one word: "Okay."

Then he became silent again.

Friends in the group are also used to his diving, and they all share their children’s illnesses.

The leading brother put down his mobile phone, got up and walked to the study. On the desk inside were some preparation materials he bought, the most important of which was a small bottle of raw materials. Others included disposable latex gloves, medical masks, capsule shells and medical starch.

He is the parent of a copper doll patient. Tomorrow he is going to inspect the newly opened shared laboratory to see if he can use the equipment there to make some homemade trientine hydrochloride capsules.

Trientine hydrochloride is a copper ion complexing agent. Its function is similar to penicillamine. It can promote the excretion of copper from the body through the kidneys, thereby removing excess copper from the body. It is used for hepatopodia that is intolerant to penicillamine.

Patients with nuclear degeneration, also known as Wilson's disease of the copper doll.

Wilson's disease is a rare genetic disease, which is mainly characterized by copper metabolism disorder caused by chromosomal abnormalities. The prevalence rate is about 1 in 30,000 people worldwide. If left untreated, it will lead to fluid accumulation, jaundice, and neurological disease.

problems, and fatal kidney failure.

Fortunately, there are effective treatments for this disease. The commonly used drugs are penicillamine (cuprimine) and trientine hydrochloride (syprine), which must be taken for life.

Since the launch of trientine hydrochloride in the 1980s, the patent has long expired. However, no domestic pharmaceutical factory has developed generic drugs, and foreign original drugs have not been marketed in China. Moreover, the price is very expensive, about US$200 per pill.

The eldest brother's son needed this kind of medicine to treat his illness. He had always asked someone to buy it from abroad. Later, because the burden was too heavy, he decided to make his own medicine.

The manufacturing process of trientine hydrochloride is simple, and it is not too difficult to make it yourself. The leader is also an intellectual. After a period of hard work and self-study, he has mastered certain chemical and pharmaceutical knowledge.

At the same time, he searched for various information on the Internet, bought related simple equipment, and purchased some raw materials from manufacturers. After much practice, he finally produced some trientine hydrochloride capsules.

After giving it to his son, he found that it could indeed achieve a certain effect.

However, after comparing it with the original drug, the side effects and production process are still a little worse.

So we can only continue to experiment and strive for excellence.

Later, after he registered Longtu, he found a lot of relevant professional information on the forum, and experts helped answer some questions. He made great progress. After some practice, the homemade medicine he made became more and more refined.

The patient groups he joined before were all family members of patients who needed this drug, and they all admired his behavior.

Everyone is yearning for it, but it's a pity that most of the family members are poor students, and few have the energy to make their own medicine.

Not long after, the leading brother discovered the 'shared laboratory' function on Longtu. Although it had not yet opened, this function flashed through his mind like a bolt of lightning, lighting up a spark called inspiration.

In fact, the conditions for his own medicine at home are very simple, many equipments are not complete, the environment cannot be completely sterile, many processes are not up to standard, and the impurity content of raw materials is also high.

As a result, the finished product is far less effective than the original medicine. Although he has been working hard to improve his proficiency and manufacturing process, he is not a professional with a professional background, so he is somewhat powerless.

The part of the pharmaceutical preparation that produces the medicinal effect is called the raw material drug. The raw material drug cannot be taken directly. It needs to be weighed and proportioned according to a series of strict processing procedures, and the excipients are added, mixed and filled.

Every pharmaceutical factory manufacturing drugs must meet GMP (Good Manufacturing Practice) standards in order to ensure the ultimate safety, reliability, and controllable risks of drugs.

If you can use professional instruments and equipment in a professional laboratory, and even have high-purity raw materials, then the manufactured medicines will naturally be more pure and the efficacy will be closer to the original medicines. Gu Yun

After the leading brother figured it out, he told the patients in the group his thoughts and received unanimous encouragement.

He made a lot of preparations for this, and also summarized and recorded his experiences and compiled them into a volume.

After the experiment is completed in the shared laboratory and the plan is proven feasible, other patients can make their own medicines according to this manual.

Now, everything is ready, just waiting for the shared laboratory to open.

An article titled "Pharmaceutical Loading Tools, Side Effect Treatment, and Medication Loading Guide Collection" also provides detailed guidance on the entire pharmaceutical process.

This article has been widely circulated among patients. The patients are considerate and even include detailed usage instructions and purchase links under each term in the guide.

Today, he finally received the announcement of the opening of the shared laboratory. How could he not be extremely excited and looking forward to it?

He had already made preparations, bought the raw materials, prepared the necessary consumables, and was waiting for tomorrow's experiment.

The next day, he got up energetically, drove to the industrial park in Kunming City early in the morning, and found the address of the shared laboratory.

The laboratory is on the first floor of an office building, with a large sign: "Dragon Picture Sharing Laboratory". The familiar red logo and a coiled dragon flying in the clouds are very eye-catching on the sign.

It looks like a pharmacy from the outside. Looking in through the glass door, everything looks new.

The leading brother turned on his mobile phone and scanned the code on the Longtu app. The door slowly opened and he walked in curiously.

As soon as you enter, there is a changing room with lockers where you can store your personal belongings and put down your clothes.

He put his cell phone and belongings in a locker and took out a plastic bag inside.

Inside the bag was a white lab coat, a pair of protective masks with goggles, a pair of slippers, a pair of disposable latex gloves, and a white hat.

The leading brother took off his coat and leather shoes, put on a lab coat and slippers, and put on gloves and a mask.

When he was ready, he took out the raw materials, opened the door at the other end of the dressing room, and walked in.

Inside is a long corridor with five small laboratories on both sides, and at the end of the corridor is a relatively complete large laboratory.

The leading brother looked at the laboratory number, found the room he had reserved, opened the door and walked in.

The lights inside instantly came on. The small laboratory was not big, about 20 square meters, and it was well-equipped.

He quickly found familiar utensils such as measuring cups, test tubes, medicine spoons, extremely precise electronic balances, weighing paper, sieves, mixers, medicine pounders and grinders.

Great, these things were all complete, and a flash of joy flashed in his heart.

It's a pity that I can't take pictures or live broadcast, so I can only go back and dictate it to the group of friends.

He took out the vial of API, capsule shell, and medical starch from his pocket, the latter two of which can be purchased online.

He followed the steps step by step, not daring to make any mistakes, and quickly completed all the familiar procedures.

He brought a month's supply of 5 grams at 100 yuan per gram, which is not too expensive.

In order to prevent unnecessary losses, he concluded that tin foil or oil paper must be used to weigh and fill the medicinal powder, because if white paper is used, the medicinal powder will definitely stick to the paper.

Afterwards, he followed the steps step by step, not daring to make any mistakes, and quickly completed all the familiar procedures.

Soon, it was time to reach the final step of making your own medicine: filling the capsules.

Loading powder is a serious and physical job that tests your patience.

Generally speaking, before loading the medicine, he will put on thin medical gloves to prevent his hands from sweating and the medicine from sticking to it.

Masks are also necessary. Firstly, if you don’t wear a mask, you may get red envelopes on your face. Secondly, you can prevent yourself from sneezing when filling the medicine.

Fortunately, the laboratory was well prepared and had everything ready. He was fully protective from the beginning to the end. He was armed to the teeth and very professional.

The tin foil on the electronic scale should be folded higher on all four sides to prevent powder from falling off. Then, weigh 1 gram of raw materials and 4 grams of auxiliary ingredients separately, and shake vigorously.

Only by mixing thoroughly and evenly will such side effects be minimized.

He used a sieve with a mesh size of more than 100 and two large sheets of tin foil, sifting and pouring back and forth, doing this more than 20 times each time.

Shake until your hands are sore before carefully filling the capsules.

Use a straw to suck up the powder and pour it into the capsule like a spoon.

A total of 30 capsules are needed to supply a month's supply.

For those with good hands, it may even take four or five hours to pack 1 gram of medicine.
