Preclinical Development: Overview01:28

Preclinical Development: Overview

Preclinical development consists of a series of tests that ensure the safety and efficacy of a new therapeutic compound before it is tested in humans. There are four main phases to this process. First, safety pharmacology tests are conducted to ensure the drug does not produce any acutely harmful effects. These tests examine parameters such as bronchoconstriction, cardiac dysrhythmias, blood pressure changes, and ataxia. Next, preliminary toxicological testing is performed to determine the...
Pharmacovigilance01:19

Pharmacovigilance

Post-marketing surveillance is a critical component of pharmaceutical regulation, often uncovering unanticipated adverse drug reactions (ADRs) once a drug is widely used over an extended period.
This process, termed pharmacovigilance, aims to detect, evaluate, and minimize harmful effects related to medication use. The data collection for pharmacovigilance depends on spontaneous reporting systems, where healthcare professionals or patients voluntarily report suspected ADRs.
In some cases, there...
Community Based Intervention01:30

Community Based Intervention

Community-based interventions in mental health represent a paradigm shift from institution-centered care to treatments embedded within the fabric of local communities. By prioritizing inclusion and leveraging existing societal structures, this approach fosters a supportive environment conducive to addressing mental health challenges while promoting individual dignity and agency.
Foundations of Community Mental Health Programs
Central to the success of community-based interventions is the...
Oral Drug Delivery Systems: Continuous-Release Systems01:26

Oral Drug Delivery Systems: Continuous-Release Systems

Continuous-release drug delivery systems offer a strategic approach to maintaining therapeutic drug levels over extended periods following oral administration. By modulating the release rate of active pharmaceutical ingredients, these systems minimize fluctuations in plasma concentrations, which enhances clinical efficacy and reduces the need for frequent dosing. Such characteristics make them particularly advantageous in managing chronic diseases where patient adherence and stable drug...
Drug Administration and Therapy Phases: Overview01:26

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...
In Vitro Drug Release Testing: Overview, Development and Validation01:10

In Vitro Drug Release Testing: Overview, Development and Validation

In vitro dissolution and drug release tests assess how quickly and how much of a drug is released from its dosage form into an aqueous medium under standardized laboratory conditions. These tests are essential tools in pharmaceutical development and quality assurance, offering insight into the drug's performance before clinical use.During formulation development, dissolution testing identifies incomplete or inconsistent drug release issues. It also supports decisions on selecting the optimal...

Area of Science:

  • Pharmacy Practice
  • Continuing Education

Background:

  • Structured continuous professional development (CPD) modules are lacking for practicing community pharmacists in India.
  • Updating knowledge and skills is crucial for effective pharmaceutical care delivery.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop, validate, and implement CPD modules for community pharmacists.
  • To assess the impact of the training program on pharmacists' knowledge and skills.

Main Methods:

  • Modules were developed using standard texts and databases, followed by content validation.
  • Impact assessment involved pre- and post-training questionnaires (knowledge, attitude, practice) and skill assessments (patient counseling, BP measurement, glucose monitoring).
  • Data analysis utilized statistical methods with InStat version 3.01 software.

Main Results:

  • A statistically significant improvement (P<0.05) was observed in post-training knowledge, attitude, and practice scores.
  • Significant improvements were noted in individual training session scores.
  • Post-training professional skills, including patient counseling, capillary blood glucose recording, and blood pressure measurement, showed significant enhancement (P<0.05).

Conclusions:

  • Continuous training effectively updates the knowledge and skills of practicing community pharmacists.
  • The developed CPD modules are effective in enhancing pharmaceutical care practices.
  • Implementing such training programs is recommended for improving community pharmacy services.
