Drug Regulation01:25

Drug Regulation

2.6K
Drug regulation encompasses the management of drug usage by evaluating its safety and efficacy through assessments conducted by regulatory authorities. Regrettably, the history of drug regulation is marred by several catastrophic events. One such incident is the Elixir Sulfanilamide tragedy, in which the toxic compound diethyl glycol was included in a sweet-tasting medication, leading to numerous fatalities. This event prompted the enactment of the Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act in 1938. Under...

Drug Control Governance: Regulatory Bodies and Their Impact

412
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...

The World Health Organization (WHO) is a specialized agency of the United Nations based in Geneva. The WHO has many initiatives that center around health. Primarily, they lead global efforts to expand universal health coverage using science-based policies and programs. They are also responsible for shaping health research agendas and developing norms and standards.
The WHO provides expert team support, including funding, vaccines, testing, and treatment tools at the country level to fight...

Pharmacovigilance01:19

Pharmacovigilance

1.5K
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...

Applications of GIS: Disaster Management and Emergency Response

361
Geographic Information System (GIS) technology is essential for risk identification, action prioritization, and resource optimization in critical situations like flooding and earthquakes. By integrating spatial and demographic data, GIS provides a comprehensive framework for emergency response.GIS integrates data layers, like rainfall intensity, topography, elevation profiles, and river levels, to model high-risk flood zones. These layers assess areas susceptible to flooding based on their...

Prescription, Nonprescription and Orphan Drugs01:02

Prescription, Nonprescription and Orphan Drugs

1.1K
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...

Area of Science:

  • Pharmacology
  • Public Health
  • Health Policy

Background:

  • Disaster-specific pharmacy legislation is crucial for pharmacists' roles during emergencies.
  • Previous research has not explored factors influencing disaster-specific pharmacy legislation in Australia.
  • It is hypothesized that increased disaster frequency may drive the development of such legislation.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the relationship between the number of disasters experienced by a jurisdiction and the existence of disaster-specific pharmacy legislation.
  • To compare disaster-specific pharmacy legislation across five countries: Australia, Canada, UK, US, and New Zealand.

Main Methods:

  • A review of disaster-specific pharmacy legislation was conducted for Australia, Canada, the UK, the US, and New Zealand.
  • Binary logistic regression using generalized estimating equations was employed to analyze the association between disaster frequency and legislation presence.
  • Data covered the periods 2007-2017 and 2013-2017.

Main Results:

  • Three out of six statistical models were significant.
  • Increased disaster frequency was associated with a higher likelihood of having disaster-specific pharmacy legislation in the analyzed periods.
  • A correlation was found between everyday emergency supply legislation and extended disaster-specific emergency supply legislation.

Conclusions:

  • Significant inconsistencies exist in the legislative support for pharmacists during crises across different jurisdictions.
  • Legislative barriers, not a lack of skills, limit pharmacists' contributions to disaster healthcare teams.
  • Empowering pharmacists through updated legislation can alleviate pressure on other healthcare services during disasters.
