Healthcare is Getting Disrupted... Is Pharmacy Ready?Hillary Blackburn
Change is coming for the healthcare industry, particularly as digital disruption is happening. Within the broader healthcare industry, pharmacy will be impacted and should be ready to help the profession grow and thrive.
Ethanol (CH3CH2OH), or beverage alcohol, is a two-carbon alcohol
that is rapidly distributed in the body and brain. Ethanol alters many
neurochemical systems and has rewarding and addictive properties. It
is the oldest recreational drug and likely contributes to more morbidity,
mortality, and public health costs than all illicit drugs combined. The
5th edition of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders
(DSM-5) integrates alcohol abuse and alcohol dependence into a single
disorder called alcohol use disorder (AUD), with mild, moderate,
and severe subclassifications (American Psychiatric Association, 2013).
In the DSM-5, all types of substance abuse and dependence have been
combined into a single substance use disorder (SUD) on a continuum
from mild to severe. A diagnosis of AUD requires that at least two of
the 11 DSM-5 behaviors be present within a 12-month period (mild
AUD: 2–3 criteria; moderate AUD: 4–5 criteria; severe AUD: 6–11 criteria).
The four main behavioral effects of AUD are impaired control over
drinking, negative social consequences, risky use, and altered physiological
effects (tolerance, withdrawal). This chapter presents an overview
of the prevalence and harmful consequences of AUD in the U.S.,
the systemic nature of the disease, neurocircuitry and stages of AUD,
comorbidities, fetal alcohol spectrum disorders, genetic risk factors, and
pharmacotherapies for AUD.

The prostate is an exocrine gland of the male mammalian reproductive system
It is a walnut-sized gland that forms part of the male reproductive system and is located in front of the rectum and just below the urinary bladder
Function is to store and secrete a clear, slightly alkaline fluid that constitutes 10-30% of the volume of the seminal fluid that along with the spermatozoa, constitutes semen
A healthy human prostate measures (4cm-vertical, by 3cm-horizontal, 2cm ant-post ).
It surrounds the urethra just below the urinary bladder. It has anterior, median, posterior and two lateral lobes
It’s work is regulated by androgens which are responsible for male sex characteristics
Generalised disease of the prostate due to hormonal derangement which leads to non malignant enlargement of the gland (increase in the number of epithelial cells and stromal tissue)to cause compression of the urethra leading to symptoms (LUTS
Anti ulcer drugs and their Advance pharmacology ||
Anti-ulcer drugs are medications used to prevent and treat ulcers in the stomach and upper part of the small intestine (duodenal ulcers). These ulcers are often caused by an imbalance between stomach acid and the mucosal lining, which protects the stomach lining.
||Scope: Overview of various classes of anti-ulcer drugs, their mechanisms of action, indications, side effects, and clinical considerations.
2. Introduction
• Pharmacist- prime source of information
• Past- drugs were few, low potency, less inquiries and
all queries answered by referring pharmacopoeias and
other reference books.
• No longer possible for todays situation
Need to alter traditional system
1. Number of drug increased, more potent and
selective, newer formulations, difficult to make
rational choice of drug.
2. Literature relating to drugs has expanded.
Need to communicate information to all medical staff,
hospitals and the consumers.
3. Definition:
• Drug information is ‘an any objective, documented data or
knowledge involving the pharmacological, toxicological and
therapeutic use of drugs’
• It includes,
Chemical name, structure, properties, identification, therapeutic
indication, mechanism of action, metabolism, excretion, side
effect, adverse drug reaction, contraindications, interaction,
incompatibilities, cost, advantages, sign, systems, treatments,
clinical efficacy, comparative data, clinical data, rational use….
Includes gathering, reviewing, evaluating, indexing,
organizing, storing, summarizing and distribution information
of drug.
In accordance with above points need to establish
drug information centers
organized drug information sources
full time staff with properly trained persons
4. Need and Scope in India
• India one of the largest market in world.
• More than 1 lakh drug formulations, generic and
combination of drugs are available
• Difficult to maintain the data for physicians,
medical staff, and other drug authorities
• Patients consult mostly with physicians or
surgeons in multiple drug therapy so its difficult to
maintain rational use of drugs in each diseases. At
this point DI specialist can prove helpful
• Total number of drugs are restricted, it will be easy
for physician to prescribe. WHO made list of
essential drugs to cover 95 % diseases of common
man. Pharmacist at DIC will provide excellent
source for current information.
5. • Substandard drugs are sold in market, physician get confused,
unable to differentiate, faulty product reporting programme may
be undertaken by information specialist.
• India have very few reliable sources of up to date information
on medications. There is need for information.
• The output of drug industry can be monitored on monthly basis
and new products entering into the market could be evaluated at
such centers.
• Several consumers groups i.e. Consumers guidance society
have started demanding on information on drugs. Medication
error can be minimized by proper information.
• Drug information center enables the clinical health professional
to make quicker, more rational decision. It act as bridge in the
communication network between the wealth of information
available and the active health professionals.
• Todays. India needs several information centers across the
country which can link up their services to provide fast, up to
date drug information to the community. The usefulness and the
needs for such centers is only just being realized.
6. Objectives:
The main objective of the DIC is to provide factual,
unbiased drug information as a part of an effort to
improve patient care. A drug information center can
realized various other objectives-
1. To promote the safe, effective and economic use of
medical products in patient
2. To achieve the rational use of drugs in hospitals by
well defined policies
3. To provide the specialized information on drug
therapeutics to meet the drug information needs of
the clinicians and other health care professionals.
4. To improve patient care by conducting drug
utilization review
7. 5.To decrease ADR by proper pointing at them in
advance
6. To help PTC committee in rational selection of drug
formulary
7.To establish the discipline of clinical pharmacy as a
specialized professional
8.To conduct training and educational programme.
8. Functions:
• 3 major functions
1. Service- answer questions, supporting PTC committee
and preparing newsletters
2. Education- teaching pharmacy students drug information
skill, training courses for health care professionals
3. Research- participation in clinical trial, conducting drug
utilization review for physician, literature search for
academicians.
9. 1. Promoting rational drug evaluation and therapeutics
Systematic presentation of information regarding
rational drug therapeutics
Evaluate information on products available in market
and prepare drug monographs to compare
commercially oriented and purely research drug
information
Helps to compare drugs and their efficacy, prices and
likely to influence on drug of choice.
2. Patient Specific consultations
Drug information specialist actively participate in
patient care by responding queries received at DIC.
Most of the queries are concerned with ADR and
therapeutic use of drug.
10. 3. ADR Reporting
1.5 to 35% of patients admitted are due to ADR
Analyst play an imp role by following up such
patients and by filling form needed
4. Drug interaction monitoring
Reason- multiple drug therapy
DIC suggest way to detect interactions and determine
their clinical use.
5. Drug utilization review
Helps to know pattern of drug used in hospitals
Helps to project hospital budget
Identify inappropriate use of drug
11. 6. Pharmacy and Therapeutics Committee related
functions
7. Investigational drug information
Participate in clinical investigation to establish safety
and efficacy of new drugs
Assist in preparation of protocols, applications and
literature reports on investigational drugs.
8. Publication of newsletter
Publish news letters, news bulletins or periodic
reports for current updates
9. Teaching and Educational activities
10. Consumer awareness programme and community
pharmacy based activities
12. Sources of drug information
