Prescription, Nonprescription and Orphan Drugs

1.4K
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...

Drug Classes and Categories

3.3K
Drugs can be classified according to their chemical composition or their intended therapeutic application. For instance, anti-infective agents that possess the ability to eliminate pathogens or suppress their growth and reproduction can be grouped based on the organisms they target or their chemical structure. Furthermore, drugs can be divided into prescription, nonprescription, or controlled substances. Prescription medications, such as antibiotics, require oversight from a licensed healthcare...

Drug Control Governance: Regulatory Bodies and Their Impact

635
Drug control governance involves the oversight and regulation of pharmaceuticals to ensure their safety and efficacy while preventing illegal drug use and trafficking. Regulatory bodies, including the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and the European Union's European Medicines Agency (EMA), play a central role in this process. These agencies evaluate the safety and efficacy of drugs before they can be marketed. They fund clinical trials and assess the benefits and risks associated with...

Pharmaceutical Poisoning: Potential Scenarios

53
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...

Drug Nomenclature01:17

Drug Nomenclature

3.6K
During the development of a new pharmaceutical, the manufacturer initially assigns a code name to the drug. Once approved, the drug receives a United States Adopted Name (USAN)—a generic, nonproprietary designation. Upon being listed in the United States Pharmacopeia, this nonproprietary name becomes the drug's official name. Additionally, the manufacturer assigns a proprietary name or trademark, which serves as the brand name under which the drug is marketed. It is worth noting that...

Drug Abuse and Addiction: Pharmacological Phenomena

1.4K
Drug dependence, abuse, and addiction are complex phenomena that can precipitate various abnormal states. Physical dependence refers to a state of pharmacological adaptation to a drug. This adaptation often results in tolerance—a reduced response to the drug after repeated administrations. When the drug use is abruptly stopped, withdrawal symptoms occur due to the body's need to readjust from the pharmacologically induced imbalance. However, tolerance and withdrawal symptoms do not...

Area of Science:

  • Nursing Practice
  • Pharmacology
  • Healthcare Policy

Background:

  • In April 1992, recommendations were made to allow community nurses to prescribe from a Nurses' Formulary.
  • This formulary included a restricted range of drugs, dressings, appliances, and chemical reagents.
  • The changes aimed to enhance community nursing services and patient care.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To outline key recommendations regarding nurse prescribing.
  • To discuss the implications of these recommendations for continence advisers.
  • To identify essential educational initiatives for continence advisers.

Main Methods:

  • Review of the 1992 report on nurse prescribing.
  • Analysis of the impact on continence advisory services.
  • Identification of training needs for continence advisers.

Main Results:

  • Nurses in the community gained prescribing authority for specific items.
  • Continence advisers require specific education to utilize these new prescribing rights.
  • The report necessitates a structured approach to training and professional development.

Conclusions:

  • The introduction of nurse prescribing requires adaptation within continence services.
  • Targeted educational programs are crucial for equipping continence advisers.
  • Successful implementation depends on adequate preparation and training.
