“The first and second phases of the trial had no issues with absorption, metabolism, distribution, elimination and other aspects.”
“But there was a problem during the toxicology test in the third phase. The patients experienced severe diarrhea.”
Ruth quickly explained the process from taking the medicine to the onset of symptoms.
“Diarrhea? Show me the information!” Rose demanded the folder, her frown deepening.
The Sharp’s Group started as a pharmaceutical company, and Rose had a deep understanding of traditional medicine, but she couldn’t find any problems in the prescription.
According to traditional medicine theory, most cardiovascular problems are caused by stagnation and blockage of energy.
Ligusticum wallichii, peach kernel, flowers carthami, Radix paeoniae rubra, radix sophorae flavescentis, panax pseudoginseng…
These are all blood-activating and stasis-resolving herbs, there shouldn’t be any issues!
Molly glanced at the information and calmly said, “This is a prescription for treating heart diseases.”
“Most of the herbs in it are energy-regulating herbs, but both Radix paeoniae rubra and radix sophorae flavescentis have cold properties. When these two herbs are used together, the nature of the prescription becomes cold, which can lead to diarrhea in patients.”
“We can replace radix sophorae flavescentis with codonopsis pilosula, which has warm properties. It can prevent diarrhea in patients, and its efficacy is similar to radix sophorae flavescentis, with little impact on the overall effectiveness of the prescription.”
Rose and Ruth quickly cross-referenced the pharmacological table and started their research.
A few minutes later, Ruth nodded and said to Rose, “Ms. Sharp, I think what Miss George said is correct. Replacing it with codonopsis pilosulawill eliminate the side effects!”
Rose was cautious and reevaluated the pharmacology once again. Finally, she nodded and said, “Then let’s try it as Miss George suggested.”
Ruth left.
“Ms. Sharp, as you can see, if I join Energence, it will only benefit you, with no downsides.”
“I hope you can consider it and give me a call tomorrow.”
Molly left her contact information and politely bid farewell.
Rose sighed softly.
Molly was the granddaughter of the Spencer family, a genius in both medicine and martial arts.
Like Layla, she had achieved mastery in Inner Strength.
Although Molly was not as skilled in medicine as Layla, she was only 21 years old, seven years younger than Layla.
To be honest, Rose was indeed interested in Molly joining the company.
However, considering Flynn’s feelings, she couldn’t agree to it.
After seeing off Molly, Rose informed her department heads to prepare for Lilia’s banquet tomorrow evening.
When Ruth returned to the research and development department, she mentioned the idea of replacing radix sophorae flavescentis with codonopsis pilosula. A hint of seriousness flashed across Katrina’s face.
“Changing the prescription is a significant matter. It’s better to inform Mr. Clark first!” Katrina pondered for a few seconds and said seriously.
The rest of the R&D department nodded in agreement.
In their eyes, Flynn was already like a mythical figure, so there would be no harm in seeking his advice.
Flynn was on his way to the Land and Resources Bureau. Today, he was accompanying Scarlet to process some documents, and they had agreed to meet at the entrance of the bureau.
When he saw Katrina’s call, he answered without hesitation.
“Mr. Clark, we encountered some issues in the third phase of the clinical trial for the Ancient Formula Returning Heart Pill. The test subjects experienced severe diarrhea.”
“Ruth informed Ms. Sharp, and coincidentally, Molly was present and suggested replacing radix sophorae flavescentis with codonopsis pilosula. We believe the theory is feasible.”
“Codonopsis pilosula?” Flynn immediately shook his head, denying it. “I use sophorae mainly to treat arrhythmias. If we replace it, the therapeutic scope of the Ancient Formula Returning Heart Pill will be reduced by half.”
“For the cold diarrhea, can they take it together with Blood Stasis Abolition Soup? This way, not only can it suppress the occurrence of diarrhea, but it can also nourish the stomach.”
“Wellness Warehouse Pharmaceuticals, acquired by Ms. Sharp, is producing the Blood Stasis Abolition Soup. It’s bundled for sale, and the price of the two medicines doesn’t exceed 100 dollars, much cheaper than Lilia’s single medicine, which costs 3, 000.”
As Flynn spoke, everyone suddenly understood.
The Blood Stasis Abolition Soup nourishes the spleen and stomach and has excellent therapeutic effects for diarrhea. By combining it with the Ancient Formula Returning Heart Pill and releasing it together, it can also drive up the stock price of Wellness Warehouse Pharmaceuticals, killing two birds with one stone!
After hanging up the phone, Flynn arrived at the Land and Resources Bureau.
“Hello!” Scarlet, wearing a wrinkled and hollow high-slit dress, waved from a distance, exuding charm.
Looking at her innocent yet seductive appearance, Flynn couldn’t help but think of what happened at the movie theater last night and grinned.
“This is the first time I’ve seen you so punctual.” Scarlet took hold of Flynn’s arm, smiling.
“Well, I didn’t have much to do today, so I came early.” Flynn said casually.
Scarlet’s smile froze for a moment, and she pouted, patting Flynn, saying, “Can’t you say you came early for me? Your mouth isn’t sweet at all!”
“My mouth isn’t sweet?” Flynn smirked and said, “Then how come you were nibbling for over ten minutes last night?”
“Oh, you… shameless!” Scarlet blushed and gave Flynn a firm hit.
The two of them entered the Land and Resources Bureau while chatting and laughing.
The person who received them was a female staff member of the bureau.
“Hello, we are from Orco Real Estate. The documents that were processed here were blocked by Mr. Riggs. We want to know what the problem is.”
Scarlet said politely.
A while ago, she had organized the documents for certification, and the process took five days. In the end, it got stuck with the bureau director. Scarlet had inquired a few times, and the reply from the bureau was that the documents were insufficient, so she had to go back to the company to add more materials.
But she asked some friends, and they all said that the previous documents were sufficient, so they didn’t understand why it was stuck with the director.
“The director is in a meeting. Wait!” The female staff member replied without looking up while painting her nails.
Scarlet could only take Flynn to the waiting area.
An hour passed, and the female staff member didn’t call them in. She finished painting her nails and started playing with her phone.
During this time, the office door opened two or three times, and two women in professional attire came in and out, joking around while carrying a water bottle.
“What’s going on? It’s been an hour!” Scarlet checked the time and muttered quietly.
She got up and approached the female staff member, politely asking, “Excuse me, we’ve been waiting for an hour. Could you please help us ask what’s going on inside?”
“What’s the matter with an hour?” The female staff member was chatting with her friend and was annoyed by Scarlet’s interruption. She frowned and said, “Mr. Riggs is busy with his work. He will see you after he finishes! Wait!”
The female staff member hummed disdainfully and continued playing with her phone.
“He sure is busy. Playing cards until his mouth gets dry!” Flynn stared at the office door and said coldly.
The office door was tightly closed, and the sound insulation was excellent. They couldn’t hear any sound from the outside, but Flynn had remarkable hearing and could hear the commotion inside.
It was clear that people in the room were playing cards.
Scarlet’s face darkened. She knew Flynn wouldn’t make false claims.
During working hours, the people from the bureau were playing cards in the office and making them wait outside?
Did that mean as long as the card game didn’t end, the director wouldn’t have time for them?
Scarlet could even imagine that if they played cards until the end of the workday and she approached them, would the director just brush her off until tomorrow?
“Nonsense!” The female staff member’s face changed when she heard Flynn’s words and rebuked him, “Who said they were playing cards? Mr. Riggs is in a meeting!”
“Do you know the consequences of defaming public officials? I warn you not to talk nonsense!”
“Defaming?” Flynn squinted his eyes.
“Alright! Let’s see who’s talking nonsense!”
After saying that, Flynn kicked the office door.
“Boom!”
A loud noise echoed.
The door was kicked open.
Inside the room, a group of people were playing cards. Startled by the sudden loud noise, they all turned to look at Flynn!
