Prescription, Nonprescription and Orphan Drugs

Prescription, Nonprescription and Orphan Drugs

Prescription drugs require a prescription from a medical practitioner and can only be obtained from a pharmacy. They have many applications, including treating pain, anxiety, and hypertension.
The misuse and addiction to prescription drugs is a growing problem that can affect people of all age groups, specifically teenagers. This can happen when prescription medications are used in ways not intended by the prescriber, such as taking someone else's prescription or using medication for...

Dosage Regimens: Designs and Approaches

Dosage Regimens: Designs and Approaches

Designing a dosage regimen, which refers to the manner of drug administration, is a complex process involving the selection of drug dose, route, and frequency. This process is underpinned by pharmacokinetic parameters derived from tests and population averages. These parameters are then tailored to patient-specific variables such as diagnosis, demographics, and allergy status. Once therapy commences, therapeutic response monitoring is critical and achieved through clinical and physical...

Nursing Clinical Information System

Nursing Clinical Information System (NCIS)
A Nursing Clinical Information System (NCIS) is a specialized type of healthcare information system tailored to meet the unique needs of nursing practice. It incorporates the principles of nursing informatics to streamline information management and improve the quality of care delivery.
Critical attributes of NCIS include:

Drug Administration and Therapy Phases: Overview

Drug Administration and Therapy Phases: Overview

Drugs, the chemical agents used in diagnosing, treating, or preventing diseases, undergo a four-phase process of development: pharmaceutic, pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics, and therapeutic.
The pharmaceutical phase focuses on leveraging the physicochemical properties of the drug to design and manufacture an effective product. Variants include orally administered tablets or capsules, topical creams or ointments, and parenteral-delivery solutions or emulsions.
The pharmacokinetic phase...

Pharmaceutical Poisoning: Potential Scenarios

Pharmaceutical Poisoning: Potential Scenarios

Pharmaceutical poisoning can occur through various channels, impacting an estimated 2 million hospitalized patients in the U.S. annually with serious adverse drug responses. These scenarios encompass both therapeutic uses, such as drug toxicity, where even standard dosages can lead to severe central nervous system depression, and non-therapeutic exposures, including accidental ingestion by children, and environmental and occupational exposures.Unintentional poisonings often involve exploratory...

Area of Science:

Health Informatics
Patient Information Services
Neurological Disorders Management

Background:

National inconsistencies in health information availability and accessibility.
Department of Health policy emphasizes improving information provision.
Introduction of an information prescription (IP) pilot program.

Purpose of the Study:

To develop an information prescription (IP) service for Parkinson's disease patients and their carers.
Utilize a quality-improvement cycle to gather stakeholder feedback.
Enhance patient understanding and self-management of Parkinson's disease.

Main Methods:

Pilot study implementing an information prescription (IP) service.
Quality-improvement cycle involving stakeholder feedback.
Development of an IP service tailored for Parkinson's disease.

Main Results:

Service users reported satisfaction with the provided information.
Patients felt better equipped to understand, manage, and control their condition.
Health staff perceived benefits for themselves and their patients.

Conclusions:

Information prescriptions can enhance patient understanding and self-management in Parkinson's disease.
Stakeholder satisfaction and perceived benefits suggest the value of IP services.
Identified barriers to IP implementation require further consideration.
