Prescription, Nonprescription and Orphan Drugs01:02

Prescription, Nonprescription and Orphan Drugs

728
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...

Pharmacovigilance01:19

Pharmacovigilance

833
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...

Drug Regulation01:25

Drug Regulation

1.4K
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 Dosage Regimen: Overview01:15

Drug Dosage Regimen: Overview

3.5K
A drug dosage regimen describes the specific instructions and schedule for administering a drug to a patient. It considers factors such as drug dosage, frequency, route of administration, and duration of treatment. Designing an appropriate dosage regimen for a patient aims to achieve a target drug concentration at the site of action.
Typically, the starting dose and dosing interval are guided by the manufacturer's recommendations based on clinical trials conducted during and after drug...

Drug Concentrations: Measurements01:23

Drug Concentrations: Measurements

374
Drug concentration is the quantity of a drug present in a biological sample. Measuring drug amounts in biological samples allows the clinician to understand how a drug is absorbed, distributed, metabolized, and excreted. Samples can be obtained through invasive or non-invasive methods. Invasive techniques involve surgical or parenteral interventions to gather blood, cerebrospinal fluid, or tissue biopsy. Conversely, non-invasive approaches provide samples like urine, feces, and saliva.
Plasma...

Drug Concentration Versus Time Correlation01:15

Drug Concentration Versus Time Correlation

768
The plasma drug concentration-time curve is a crucial tool in pharmacokinetics, representing the drug's concentration in plasma at different time intervals post-administration. This curve illustrates the drug's journey from absorption into the systemic circulation, distribution to body tissues, and eventual elimination through excretion or biotransformation.
Two pivotal parameters are the minimum effective concentration (MEC) and the minimum toxic concentration (MTC). The MEC is the...

Area of Science:

  • Pharmacology and Healthcare Management

Background:

  • Persistent drug shortages have impacted healthcare providers, pharmacists, and patients for over two decades.
  • The root causes of these shortages remain unresolved, necessitating adaptation to their consequences.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To elucidate the reasons behind conflicting information disseminated from various sources regarding drug shortages.
  • To provide clarity amidst the confusion surrounding pharmaceutical supply chain disruptions.

Main Methods:

  • Analysis of information dissemination channels related to drug shortages.
  • Review of published data and communications from different entities involved in drug supply.

Main Results:

  • Identified discrepancies in reporting and communication strategies contribute to conflicting information.
  • Lack of a unified information source exacerbates confusion among stakeholders.

Conclusions:

  • Understanding the sources of information conflict is crucial for mitigating the impact of drug shortages.
  • Clearer, consistent communication protocols are needed to support healthcare providers and patients during shortages.
