Counterfeit drugs: what a doctor should knowMark Davison
Short lecture to medical students on risks, prevalence and detection of fake medicines and protection of patient safety. Essential training for new doctors and pharmacists.
The document provides information on counterfeit drugs, including definitions, global and Indian statistics, examples of counterfeited drugs, and potential solutions. Some key points:
- The WHO defines counterfeit drugs as deliberately mislabeled regarding identity and/or source, and they may contain incorrect ingredients, insufficient active ingredients, or no active ingredients.
- India accounts for 10% of global drug production but also has high rates of counterfeiting, estimated at 20% of drugs. Globally, counterfeiting costs the legitimate pharmaceutical industry $75 billion annually.
- Many popular drugs are frequently counterfeited, such as Viagra, Lipitor, and cancer treatments. Counterfeits are found to contain
Healthcare providers are increasingly breaking the secure supply chain and endangering patients. Learn about counterfeit drugs and most recent incidents involving providers.
Also learn about how you can be a part of the solution by working with the Partnership for Safe Medicines.
The document discusses the issue of counterfeit prescription drugs, particularly those imported from other countries. It notes that while the FDA's drug distribution system in the US is considered the safest in the world, the number of counterfeit drug cases has risen in recent years. The FDA ordered drugs from a website claiming to offer cheaper generics from Canada, but testing showed the drugs actually came from China and were either too strong or weak, or contained dangerous impurities. Importing drugs from other countries is not safe and raises legal and health issues.
This document discusses counterfeit medicines and measures to combat them. It defines counterfeit medicines according to WHO as those deliberately mislabeled regarding identity and/or source. The most common types of counterfeits are those without active ingredients or with incorrect quantities. Counterfeiting is prevalent in developing countries and online pharmacies. It poses dangers like treatment failure, toxicity, and drug resistance. Detection methods include chemical kits, barcodes, and Raman spectroscopy. Measures to combat counterfeits involve legislation, regulation, international cooperation, and awareness campaigns. Pharmacists play a role in preventing counterfeits from entering the supply chain.
Counterfeit medicines are drugs produced with the intention to deceive that contain incorrect or insufficient active ingredients which can lead to therapeutic failure or drug resistance and sometimes death. Substandard medicines are genuine drugs that do not meet quality specifications due to manufacturing problems and may contain less or more active ingredients than stated. The most frequently counterfeited drugs are expensive medicines like hormones, antibiotics, and anticancer drugs. Globally, 10% of drugs are counterfeit, rising to 25% in developing countries and 50% in some places. Counterfeiting is encouraged by the profitability, weak laws, and large price differences between identical drugs. Actions to address the problems include strong legislation, authentication markings on packages, surveillance, and education.

It discusses the roles of the European Medicines Agency (EMA) in the EU for scientific evaluation and marketing authorization of medicines. It also outlines licensing requirements, clinical trials oversight, safety monitoring, and other regulatory processes in the EU, UK, Australia and various other countries.
This document discusses counterfeit medicines in the Philippines. It begins with definitions of counterfeit medicines from the World Health Organization, which can involve incorrect ingredients, insufficient ingredients, or fake packaging. It then outlines current Philippine legislation on counterfeit drugs, including Republic Act No. 8203 which prohibits activities related to counterfeit medicines. The document also discusses the local incidence of counterfeiting, particularly popular medicines, lifestyle medicines, and patented medicines. It describes the FDA's product verification process for suspected counterfeit medicines, which involves collection, evaluation including physical checks and laboratory analysis, and potential enforcement action. The goal is to increase awareness of counterfeit drugs through a national consciousness week.
Essential medicines and counterfeit medicinesAmit Bhondve
The document discusses essential medicines and counterfeit medicines. It defines essential medicines as those that satisfy the priority health needs of a population and are selected based on disease prevalence, efficacy, safety and cost-effectiveness. The WHO publishes a Model List of Essential Medicines every two years to guide countries in developing their own lists. Counterfeit medicines pose serious risks as they may contain incorrect ingredients, too much or too little of the active ingredient, or no active ingredient at all. It is difficult to determine the full extent of counterfeiting due to varying reporting methods across countries and regions. Counterfeiting is most prevalent in areas with weak regulatory and enforcement systems for medicines.
The document discusses ethics in the pharmaceutical industry. It covers topics like the history and regulation of the industry, ethical and unethical business practices, laws and regulations, the role of patents and generics, good manufacturing practices, and the role of industrial pharmacists. It also provides examples of ethical violations by pharmaceutical companies.
Quality of Antimalarials at the Epicenter of Antimalarial Drug Resistance- Re...Mikhael de Souza
This study analyzed the quality of artemisinin-containing antimalarials (ACAs) collected from drug outlets in Cambodia using two methods: open surveyors and mystery clients. A total of 291 ACA samples were collected and analyzed. The majority (69%) were found to contain the stated active pharmaceutical ingredient within the specified quality range. Few oral artemisinin monotherapies were found. No suspected falsified medicines were identified. While medicine quality did not differ significantly between the two collection methods, open surveyors were less likely than mystery clients to obtain oral artemisinin monotherapies. The results indicate that Cambodia's efforts to improve antimalarial drug quality have had a positive impact.
The document is a presentation about orphan drugs given by Dr. Atul Rajpara. It defines orphan drugs as those intended for the treatment of rare diseases or disorders. It discusses how rare diseases are defined in various countries and notes that over 7,000 rare diseases have been identified worldwide. The presentation outlines the Orphan Drug Act of 1983 in the US and its impact in incentivizing orphan drug development. It also discusses the orphan drug designation process and provides some examples of orphan drugs and their manufacturers. The presentation concludes by noting challenges to improving access to orphan drugs in India like affordability and a lack of incentives for drug developers.
Changing times ask for solid relationships.
Times are changing. A renewed interest from big pharma in the rare disease landscape
has awakened due to large-scale patent expirations, competition from generics &
biosimilars, anemic pipelines, escalating clinical trial costs and a global health-care
reform. This means that the traditional blockbuster model has become less viable while
the revenue-generating potential of orphan drugs has shown to be huge with a greater
return on investment than non-orphan drugs. According to EvaluatePharma, the orphan
drugs sales will grow at an annual rate of 11% and constitute 19% of the total share of
prescription drugs by 2020, totalling 176 billion dollars.
The rare disease landscape is very complex due to the large amount of stakeholders
involved. Despite their different interests they have one goal in common: getting an
orphan drug approval that will help save or improve lives. But there are many challenges
on the road to orphan drug designation:
• Complex and changing national and regional regulations
• Clinical trial design and finding & keeping patients
• The lack of a central database designed specifically to list patient registries, which
asks for close stakeholder engagement
• Partnering and establishing financing for future development
• Establishing a foundation for price that is balanced and sustainable
• Achieving an efficient and timely access to market with equal access for patients
around the world
• Achieving timely and correct diagnosis to enable higher quality of life and more time
and information for developers

‘Orphan drugs’ future growth potential for indian pharmaceutical marketNitin Patel
This document discusses orphan drugs and their potential in the Indian pharmaceutical market. It defines orphan drugs as those developed for rare diseases affecting less than 8% of the population. The US was the first to pass orphan drug legislation in 1983 to incentivize development of these drugs. Similar laws now exist in other countries and provide benefits like 7 years of market exclusivity. While initially developed for small populations, some orphan drugs like Rituxan have become very profitable blockbusters. The global orphan drug market was worth $50 billion in 2011 and is growing faster than other drug markets. Several Indian companies are now developing or manufacturing orphan drugs for rare diseases.
Antimalarial activity gardenia lutea and sida rhombifolia ijrpppharmamailbox1
This study investigated the in vivo antimalarial activity of hydroalcoholic leaf extracts of Gardenia lutea and Sida rhombifolia against Plasmodium berghei in mice. The extracts were administered orally at doses of 200, 400, and 600 mg/kg to infected mice. The extracts showed significant antimalarial activity in a dose-dependent manner, reducing parasitemia compared to the negative control. The plant extracts also demonstrated an acceptable safety profile at test doses up to 2000 mg/kg. The results suggest that Gardenia lutea and Sida rhombifolia extracts have promising antimalarial properties worthy of further study.
This document provides the 8th edition of the Philippine National Formulary Essential Medicines List published in 2017 by the Philippine Department of Health. It contains abbreviations, measurement conversions, and lists various active pharmaceutical ingredients along with their typical routes of administration and common pharmaceutical dosage forms and strengths. The list is intended to guide procurement and use of essential medicines in public health facilities in the Philippines.
This document discusses ethics in the pharmaceutical industry. It provides examples of unethical behavior by pharmaceutical companies, such as experiments on human subjects without proper consent and misleading drug advertisements. It also outlines ethical behaviors like integrity, transparency, and prioritizing patient care. The core issues discussed are balancing profit motives with medical research and treatment goals. International regulatory bodies aim to promote ethical standards and enforce codes of conduct.
The document outlines the history and key pieces of legislation regulating drugs in the United States, beginning with the 1906 Pure Food and Drug Act which aimed to prohibit misbranded and adulterated drugs. Major laws included the 1938 Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act which gave the FDA power to ensure drug safety, the 1970 Controlled Substances Act which classified drugs into schedules based on abuse potential, and the 1996 Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) which provided privacy protections for patient health information. The legislation established the FDA and DEA and granted them authority to approve, schedule, and regulate drugs.

This presentation was given at the 'Beyond Scaling Up: Pathways to Universal Access' workshop which was held at the Institute of Development Studies, Brighton on the 24-25 May, 2010. This event was co-sponsored by the Future Health Systems Research Programme Consortium and the STEPS Centre. Zakir presented on e-health.
The document discusses several key topics related to scaling up health systems and achieving universal access:
1. Evidence is important for implementing sustainable change, but the right questions must be asked and appropriate models/assumptions used.
2. Much of the variation in health outcomes between countries is due to differences in technological progress, not income levels. More research is needed to address developing country needs.
3. Scaling up health systems is an experiment in itself. Different types of evidence are needed from individual, institutional, and systems-level research on scaling up programs.
4. Research and innovation systems must work together across sectors and levels to develop and disseminate new health technologies, processes and knowledge globally.
Fake antimalarial drugs pose a major threat to malaria control in Southeast Asia. A survey of antimalarial drugs purchased in pharmacies and shops across the region found that 53% of artesunate tablets labeled as such did not contain any artesunate. All counterfeit artesunate tablets were labeled as manufactured by Guilin Pharma and had packaging that was increasingly difficult to distinguish from genuine products. The prevalence of counterfeit artesunate increased 15% compared to a previous survey, with the exception of Myanmar which saw an 18% decrease. A small percentage (9%) of mefloquine samples also contained inadequate active ingredients, undermining treatment and confidence in antimalarials. The proliferation of

This document outlines several reasons for concern regarding pharmaceuticals in the environment and personal care products (PPCPs). It discusses that large quantities of PPCPs can enter the environment after use and treatment plants are not designed for their removal. This poses uncertain risks to aquatic organisms and humans. The document also addresses concerns about rising teen drug abuse, including the abuse of prescription medications obtained from family or online. Additional concerns discussed include accidental ingestion by children and pets as well as occupational exposure risks for healthcare workers handling chemotherapeutics.
Ayurveda, the knowledge of life, immortalized in the form of elegant Sanskrit stanzas in the samhitas describe diagnosis and therapy of disease as well as ways to maintain positive health. Although the technical term “Pharmacovigilance” does not feature in ayurvedic texts, the spirit of pharmacovigilance is vibrant and is emphasized repeatedly in all major texts. The major goals of pharmacovigilance, namely to improve patient care and safety in relation to drug use, and thus promote rational drug use are recurrent themes of ayurvedic pharmacology (dravyaguna vigyan) and therapeutics (chikitsa).
1. Counterfeit drugs are a major global problem that negatively impact public health and pharmaceutical companies. They range from lacking active ingredients to having incorrect dosages and can lead to treatment failure, increased antimicrobial resistance, and even death.
2. India accounts for a large portion of the global counterfeit drug trade due to its large pharmaceutical industry, lack of regulation, and high drug prices. Many counterfeit drugs originate in India and are distributed worldwide.
3. Strategies to reduce counterfeiting include strengthening drug regulation, increasing inspections, consumer awareness campaigns, implementing track-and-trace technologies like barcodes and RFID in supply chains, and harsher penalties for counterfeiters.
Herbal medical products - Herbal PM-Anexo4-8-Germany.pptedwinmasai
This document discusses pharmacovigilance and safety monitoring for herbal medicinal products. It defines pharmacovigilance as activities taken to ensure or enhance the safety of authorized, registered, or frequently prescribed medicinal products. Pharmacovigilance is important for both new and existing medicinal products to continuously monitor safety and update risk profiles based on new information. Specific challenges for herbal products include limited clinical trial data, interactions with other medications, and identifying adverse reactions. The document outlines strategies for pharmacovigilance of herbal medicines, including identifying products on the market, reporting systems, assessing risk areas, addressing information gaps, and balancing risk communication with public acceptance of natural medicines.

1) Traditional African medicines are estimated to cause several thousand deaths annually in South Africa, far exceeding deaths from AIDS. However, the true mortality burden is difficult to determine due to lack of data on causes of death in sub-Saharan Africa.
2) A major study found that traditional African medicines were responsible for over 50% of acute poisoning deaths among black South Africans. However, the problem has been downplayed by health officials and scientists with financial interests in commercializing traditional medicines.
3) Better data collection is needed to accurately measure mortality from traditional African medicines and inform public health policies, as non-communicable diseases like traditional medicine poisoning likely account for a significant portion of deaths.
This document provides guidelines for dispensing and using common essential drugs in Cambodia, including information on drug indications, dosages, durations of treatment, precautions, and side effects. It aims to improve access to essential medications and rational drug use by drug sellers and health center staff through a simple, easy-to-understand reference booklet. The booklet was produced through collaboration between Pharmaciens Sans Frontières-Comité International and Cambodia's Ministry of Health.
This document discusses counterfeit drugs and medical devices, specifically in India. It begins by defining counterfeit products and noting that about 10-30% of medicines in low and middle income countries like India are estimated to be counterfeit. It then discusses challenges posed by counterfeit medicines in India, including lost business for manufacturers, undermining generics adoption, and increasing economic and social burdens. The document also outlines relevant Indian laws for addressing counterfeiting like the Drugs and Cosmetics Act of 1940. Finally, it states that combating counterfeit medicines requires collaboration between law enforcement, manufacturers, and health professionals.

This document summarizes a research article about counterfeit medicinal products and parallel trade. It discusses how counterfeiting is a major global issue, especially in developing countries, due to lack of regulation and availability of medicines. Counterfeit drugs often contain incorrect doses of active ingredients or wrong/no ingredients at all, posing serious health risks to patients. The document examines which drug categories are most commonly counterfeited and the consequences of consuming fake medicines in terms of public health impacts and economic effects.

Forensic pharmacovigilance: Newer dimension of pharmacovigilanceRosmirella Cano Rojas
This document discusses the emerging field of forensic pharmacovigilance, which involves applying pharmacovigilance expertise to help solve legal cases. Pharmacovigilance aims to ensure patient safety by monitoring adverse drug events, while forensic sciences investigate legal matters. Forensic pharmacovigilance can help determine if a drug caused an adverse effect in a victim. It may provide expert opinions on illicit drug use, help solve criminal or civil cases involving drugs, and identify counterfeit or substandard drugs. Challenges include reluctance of medical professionals to participate in legal proceedings and limitations of extrapolating data to real cases. Overall, forensic pharmacovigilance represents a new dimension for pharmacovigilance that
The document discusses counterfeit medicine, including its definition, prevalence, consequences, evaluation, and methods to prevent it. It states that counterfeit medicine ranges from having no active ingredients to incorrect ingredients, and affects both developing and developed countries. Evaluation methods include using RFID, barcodes, Raman spectroscopy, and forensic analysis to identify counterfeits. Legislative authorities and improved regulation aim to curb the estimated $90 billion global counterfeit drug industry that causes over 1 million deaths annually.
This document discusses pharmacovigilance and safety monitoring for herbal medicinal products. It defines pharmacovigilance as activities taken to ensure or enhance the safety of authorized, registered, or frequently prescribed medicinal products. Pharmacovigilance is important for both new and existing medicinal products as clinical trials have limitations and new risks can be identified post-approval. The document outlines regulatory requirements and guidance for pharmacovigilance of herbal medicinal products in the European Union. It also discusses challenges in pharmacovigilance including underreporting of adverse reactions and incomplete reports.

Making the right to health a reality to Indigenous People in Brazil IDS
The document summarizes Brazil's efforts to provide universal healthcare coverage, particularly for indigenous peoples, through its public health system (SUS). It discusses how the SUS expanded coverage from 1.1 million people in 1994 to 96.1 million in 2009, and reduced infant mortality rates from 47.1 to 19.3 per 1000 births from 1990 to 2007. It also notes indigenous peoples still face health inequities, with infant mortality rates of 22.9 for whites, 34.9 for blacks, and 51.14 for indigenous peoples. The document outlines Brazil's creation of an Indigenous Health Subsystem in 1999 to decentralize services and improve quality and access for indigenous communities, but notes challenges remain around uneven health gains and centralization.

Pathways to scaling up health services Peters and PainaIDS
This document discusses scaling up health services in complex adaptive systems. It argues that health systems behave like complex adaptive systems, characterized by heterogeneous actors that interact in dynamic and unpredictable ways. Scaling up is therefore not a linear or controlled process. The document outlines several concepts from complexity science that are relevant to scaling up, such as feedback loops, emergent behavior, tipping points, and path dependence. It suggests using theories and methods from complexity science to better understand scaling up and facilitate decision making. Key lessons are that scaling up requires flexibility, recognizing local conditions, and developing sustainable institutions over the long term through learning-based approaches.
The document summarizes a program in Northern Nigeria aimed at improving health outcomes through strengthening governance and service delivery. It discusses the political and historical context, outlines the program's goals and theories of change, describes early successes like establishing an integrated local health system board, and concludes that achieving health system reform requires addressing both technical and political factors through multifaceted engagement strategies tailored to the local context.
Beyond scaling up Bloom at the Global SymposiumIDS
The document discusses pathways to universal access to health services. It addresses the challenges of rapidly scaling up health systems, including managing change in complex contexts and meeting the needs of the poor. It also discusses taking management systems to scale, spreading learning from pilots, public sector reform, innovation systems for health, and discontinuity and disruption in health services. The objectives of the document are to explore approaches that foster innovation, learning and impact at large scale while considering context, and to identify practical collaboration approaches between stakeholders to strengthen health systems for the poor.

Recomendações da OMS sobre cuidados maternos e neonatais para uma experiência pós-natal positiva.
Em consonância com os ODS – Objetivos do Desenvolvimento Sustentável e a Estratégia Global para a Saúde das Mulheres, Crianças e Adolescentes, e aplicando uma abordagem baseada nos direitos humanos, os esforços de cuidados pós-natais devem expandir-se para além da cobertura e da simples sobrevivência, de modo a incluir cuidados de qualidade.
Estas diretrizes visam melhorar a qualidade dos cuidados pós-natais essenciais e de rotina prestados às mulheres e aos recém-nascidos, com o objetivo final de melhorar a saúde e o bem-estar materno e neonatal.
Uma “experiência pós-natal positiva” é um resultado importante para todas as mulheres que dão à luz e para os seus recém-nascidos, estabelecendo as bases para a melhoria da saúde e do bem-estar a curto e longo prazo. Uma experiência pós-natal positiva é definida como aquela em que as mulheres, pessoas que gestam, os recém-nascidos, os casais, os pais, os cuidadores e as famílias recebem informação consistente, garantia e apoio de profissionais de saúde motivados; e onde um sistema de saúde flexível e com recursos reconheça as necessidades das mulheres e dos bebês e respeite o seu contexto cultural.
Estas diretrizes consolidadas apresentam algumas recomendações novas e já bem fundamentadas sobre cuidados pós-natais de rotina para mulheres e neonatos que recebem cuidados no pós-parto em unidades de saúde ou na comunidade, independentemente dos recursos disponíveis.
É fornecido um conjunto abrangente de recomendações para cuidados durante o período puerperal, com ênfase nos cuidados essenciais que todas as mulheres e recém-nascidos devem receber, e com a devida atenção à qualidade dos cuidados; isto é, a entrega e a experiência do cuidado recebido. Estas diretrizes atualizam e ampliam as recomendações da OMS de 2014 sobre cuidados pós-natais da mãe e do recém-nascido e complementam as atuais diretrizes da OMS sobre a gestão de complicações pós-natais.
O estabelecimento da amamentação e o manejo das principais intercorrências é contemplada.
Recomendamos muito.
Vamos discutir essas recomendações no nosso curso de pós-graduação em Aleitamento no Instituto Ciclos.

Cell Therapy Expansion and Challenges in Autoimmune DiseaseHealth Advances
There is increasing confidence that cell therapies will soon play a role in the treatment of autoimmune disorders, but the extent of this impact remains to be seen. Early readouts on autologous CAR-Ts in lupus are encouraging, but manufacturing and cost limitations are likely to restrict access to highly refractory patients. Allogeneic CAR-Ts have the potential to broaden access to earlier lines of treatment due to their inherent cost benefits, however they will need to demonstrate comparable or improved efficacy to established modalities.
In addition to infrastructure and capacity constraints, CAR-Ts face a very different risk-benefit dynamic in autoimmune compared to oncology, highlighting the need for tolerable therapies with low adverse event risk. CAR-NK and Treg-based therapies are also being developed in certain autoimmune disorders and may demonstrate favorable safety profiles. Several novel non-cell therapies such as bispecific antibodies, nanobodies, and RNAi drugs, may also offer future alternative competitive solutions with variable value propositions.
Widespread adoption of cell therapies will not only require strong efficacy and safety data, but also adapted pricing and access strategies. At oncology-based price points, CAR-Ts are unlikely to achieve broad market access in autoimmune disorders, with eligible patient populations that are potentially orders of magnitude greater than the number of currently addressable cancer patients. Developers have made strides towards reducing cell therapy COGS while improving manufacturing efficiency, but payors will inevitably restrict access until more sustainable pricing is achieved.
Despite these headwinds, industry leaders and investors remain confident that cell therapies are poised to address significant unmet need in patients suffering from autoimmune disorders. However, the extent of this impact on the treatment landscape remains to be seen, as the industry rapidly approaches an inflection point.

ABDOMINAL TRAUMA in pediatrics part one.drhasanrajab
Abdominal trauma in pediatrics refers to injuries or damage to the abdominal organs in children. It can occur due to various causes such as falls, motor vehicle accidents, sports-related injuries, and physical abuse. Children are more vulnerable to abdominal trauma due to their unique anatomical and physiological characteristics. Signs and symptoms include abdominal pain, tenderness, distension, vomiting, and signs of shock. Diagnosis involves physical examination, imaging studies, and laboratory tests. Management depends on the severity and may involve conservative treatment or surgical intervention. Prevention is crucial in reducing the incidence of abdominal trauma in children.

Overall life span (LS) was 1671.7±1721.6 days and cumulative 5YS reached 62.4%, 10 years – 50.4%, 20 years – 44.6%. 94 LCP lived more than 5 years without cancer (LS=2958.6±1723.6 days), 22 – more than 10 years (LS=5571±1841.8 days). 67 LCP died because of LC (LS=471.9±344 days). AT significantly improved 5YS (68% vs. 53.7%) (P=0.028 by log-rank test). Cox modeling displayed that 5YS of LCP significantly depended on: N0-N12, T3-4, blood cell circuit, cell ratio factors (ratio between cancer cells-CC and blood cells subpopulations), LC cell dynamics, recalcification time, heparin tolerance, prothrombin index, protein, AT, procedure type (P=0.000-0.031). Neural networks, genetic algorithm selection and bootstrap simulation revealed relationships between 5YS and N0-12 (rank=1), thrombocytes/CC (rank=2), segmented neutrophils/CC (3), eosinophils/CC (4), erythrocytes/CC (5), healthy cells/CC (6), lymphocytes/CC (7), stick neutrophils/CC (8), leucocytes/CC (9), monocytes/CC (10). Correct prediction of 5YS was 100% by neural networks computing (error=0.000; area under ROC curve=1.0).
