Pharmaceutical Poisoning: Potential Scenarios01:26

Pharmaceutical Poisoning: Potential Scenarios

15
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...

Analysis of Population Pharmacokinetic Data01:12

Analysis of Population Pharmacokinetic Data

822
Analysis of population pharmacokinetic data involves studying the behavior of drugs within diverse populations to understand their pharmacokinetic parameters. Traditional pharmacokinetic methods typically involve collecting samples from a few individuals and estimating these parameters. While these methods are commonly used, they have limitations in capturing the variability in drug response among individuals or heterogeneous populations. Population pharmacokinetics is employed to address these...

Bioavailability Enhancement: Determination and Conceptual Approaches in Overcoming Bioavailability Problems

228
Body:Bioavailability is a critical pharmacological concept that measures the extent and rate at which an active drug ingredient or therapeutic moiety enters the systemic circulation, remaining unchanged. It's a pivotal factor in determining a drug's efficacy and safety.The Biopharmaceutics Classification System (BCS) plays an essential role in drug development by categorizing drugs into four classes based on their solubility and permeability. This classification aids in understanding drug...

Effect of Hepatic Disease on Pharmacokinetics: Pathophysiologic Assessment and Liver Function Test

212
In clinical practice, the direct measurement of hepatic blood flow to evaluate liver function presents significant challenges due to the intricate and specialized nature of the necessary techniques. Consequently, healthcare professionals often rely on empirical estimates derived from thorough patient examinations and liver function tests to gauge liver health. Among the tools at their disposal, the Child–Pugh and MELD scoring systems stand out for their ability to categorize and assess...

Dosage Regimens: Partial Pharmacokinetic Parameters01:01

Dosage Regimens: Partial Pharmacokinetic Parameters

193
It is not uncommon for complete drug pharmacokinetic profiles to remain elusive in pharmacokinetics. This necessitates certain educated assumptions by pharmacokineticists to determine appropriate dosage regimens without comprehensive pharmacokinetic data from animal or human studies. One prevalent assumption is setting the bioavailability factor, denoted as F, to 1 or 100%. This assumption caters to the scenario where a drug doesn't achieve full systemic absorption, resulting in the patient...

Pharmaceutical Alternatives: Excipients and Impurities-Related Therapeutic Nonequivalence01:19

Pharmaceutical Alternatives: Excipients and Impurities-Related Therapeutic Nonequivalence

190
Pharmaceutical products contain more than just the active drug; they also contain various excipients such as binders, solubilizers, stabilizers, preservatives, and other elements. In some cases, impurities or contaminants might be present. Traditionally, quality control in pharmaceuticals has primarily focused on the analysis of the active drug, often overlooking the impact of these additional components. The recent issue with heparin contamination by over-sulfated chondroitin sulfate, a...

Area of Science:

  • Pharmacy Education
  • Healthcare Workforce Assessment

Background:

  • Entry-level pharmacists' competency is crucial for public health.
  • The Pharmacy Internship Program (PIP) aims to prepare pharmacists for practice.
  • Developing countries face unique challenges in pharmacist training and assessment.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate stakeholder perceptions of entry-level pharmacist competencies.
  • To assess the suitability of written licensure exams for entry-level pharmacists in developing countries.
  • To gather recommendations for improving pharmacist assessment programs.

Main Methods:

  • A cross-sectional survey was employed.
  • Web-based, 21-item pre-tested questionnaires were distributed to stakeholders.
  • Data were collected on views regarding competency outcomes and assessment.

Main Results:

  • Stakeholders affirmed most competencies but identified research skills as lacking.
  • Suggested improvements included defining competency frameworks and training preceptors.
  • Disagreement exists on using written exams as the sole licensure assessment.

Conclusions:

  • Entry-level pharmacists in developing countries may lack sufficient research competencies.
  • Current licensure assessment programs require enhancement beyond written examinations.
  • Incorporating performance-based assessments, such as preceptor reports, is recommended.
