Resumen
La Lista de Medicamentos Esenciales (EML) de la Organización Mundial de la Salud evolucionó de un concepto simple a un estándar basado en la evidencia, mejorando el acceso global a medicamentos vitales. Las listas nacionales se adaptan a las necesidades locales, asegurando una atención médica efectiva y asequible en todo el mundo.
Área de la Ciencia:
- Salud Pública La salud pública.
- Farmacoeconomía La farmacoeconomía es la economía de las drogas.
- Política de salud global Política de salud global.
Sus antecedentes:
- La Organización Mundial de la Salud (OMS) estableció la primera Lista de Medicamentos Esenciales (EML) en 1977, revolucionando la salud pública internacional al identificar medicamentos cruciales.
- Inicialmente basado en la experiencia de expertos, el proceso de selección de EML ahora emplea rigurosos criterios basados en la evidencia, incluyendo la relevancia para la salud pública, la seguridad, la eficacia y la rentabilidad.

01:25Drug Regulation
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...
01:25Drug Classes and Categories
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...
01:02Prescription, Nonprescription and Orphan Drugs
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...

01:26Drug 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...

01:28Drug Products: Biologics, Biosimilars and Interchangeables
Biologics, derived from living sources such as humans, animals, or microorganisms, represent a significant category of pharmaceuticals. These complex molecules, developed through advanced biotechnological methods or purified from natural sources, include essential medical treatments like insulin and growth hormones. The complexity of biologics arises from their large molecular structures and the intricate processes required for their production, making them distinct from conventional...
01:26Pharmaceutical Equivalents
As defined by regulatory standards, pharmaceutical equivalents require generic drug products to have identical dosage forms and chemically identical active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs). They must adhere to compendial or applicable standards for potency, content uniformity, disintegration times, and dissolution rates. In the case of modified-release dosage forms, variations in drug content are permissible as long as the delivered amount remains consistent with the innovator drug product.
