It also discusses how genetic variations like single nucleotide polymorphisms can impact how individuals metabolize and respond to certain drugs. The document notes the roles of pharmacogenetics in drug development, clinical practice, and precision medicine. It concludes by stating that pharmacogenetics has potential to optimize drug therapy and enable more personalized treatment approaches.
This document introduces key concepts in pharmacology. It defines drugs, pharmacology, clinical pharmacology, and therapeutics. An ideal drug is effective, safe, and selective, but in reality no drug is ideal as all can cause harm and have side effects. The objective of drug therapy is to provide maximum benefit with minimum harm by considering factors like administration, pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics, and individual patient variations.
This document discusses post-marketing surveillance (PMS), which refers to monitoring drugs after they have been approved for public use. PMS is important because clinical trials have limitations in terms of patient population size, duration, and ability to detect rare or long-term effects. Sources of PMS information include spontaneous reporting, studies using medical databases, and manufacturer monitoring. Common PMS methods include spontaneous reporting of adverse drug reactions, cohort studies, and case control studies. PMS can help identify new safety issues and provide more information on drug risks and benefits in diverse patient populations.
Detection of Drug Interactions via Android Smartphone: Design and Implementat...IJECEIAES
Despite the morbidity and cases of widespread drug poisoning, clinical guidelines are largely written by taking into account only one treatment at a time. The cumulative impact of multiple treatments is rarely considered. Drug treatment for people with several diseases produces a complex regimen called “polypharmacy” with a potential combination of harmful and even lethal drugs that can be prevented. This polypharmacy causes in many cases the death of some people due to drug interactions. The vast majority of these deaths can be prevented by detecting interactions before taking these medications. But the problem is that such information exists in a state that is difficult to access for the general public, much less for people with little knowledge in the field. Although the pharmacist is unmistakable and most viable source to avoid such a problem, he cannot know what the patient does not mention because he is not aware of what may affect his treatment. To remedy this, we aim in this paper to develop an ergonomic Android application that will inform the patient about the potential risks of such drug interactions. The application is optimized to handle various databases and operate automation of QR code.
Essential drug concept and rational use of medicinesPravin Prasad
The document discusses the concept of essential medicines and rational use of medicines. It defines essential medicines as those that satisfy the priority healthcare needs of the population based on criteria such as public health relevance, efficacy, safety and cost-effectiveness. Rational use requires patients receive appropriate medications for an adequate time at lowest cost. Irrational use can lead to ineffective and unsafe treatment, increased morbidity and mortality, and unnecessary costs. Strategies to promote rational use include education and training of healthcare providers, use of treatment guidelines, and ensuring availability of essential medicines.

The document discusses repurposed drugs and safety monitoring during the COVID-19 pandemic. It describes how known drugs are being used in a different context than originally approved to treat COVID-19. Two such drugs are chloroquine/hydroxychloroquine and remdesivir. While initial studies of hydroxychloroquine showed promise in vitro, subsequent large trials found no significant benefits. Remdesivir was found to decrease recovery time based on NIH trials but the WHO recommends against its use due to low certainty of benefit. Both drugs present drug interaction risks that require careful safety monitoring.

Consideration of ethnic factors during drug approval processSriramNagarajan16
Purpose
To determine feasibility of drug registration for the selected drugs at USFDA based on the ICH E5 guideline.
Methods
Methodology involves two steps, they are 1. Determination of ethnic sensitivity of the selected drugs based on factors
such as pharmacokinetics (PK), pharmacodynamic (PD), therapeutic range, and metabolism etc., given in appendix D
of ICH E5 guidelines. 2. Determination of the need for the bridging studies after determining ethnic sensitivity of the
selected drugs based on the ICH E5 guidelines.
Results
After the extensive analysis of the selected drugs, drugs like nicorandil, may be ethnically insensitive based on ICH
E5 guideline.
Drugs like, nicorandil, may be approved by USFDA without need of bridging studies because they are ethnically
insensitive and medical practice across the ICH countries is mostly similar. The efficacy and safety of these drugs is
demonstrated by the fact that these drugs are on the market for at least 25 years and prescribed in the millions of the
patients.
Conclusion
Nicorandil may be ethnically insensitive among the selected drugs based on the ICH E5 guideline. Drugs like
nicorandil may be approved by USFDA (United States Food and Drug Administration) without need of bridging
studies

A partnership model for the control of unethical marketing of medical drugs i...Alexander Decker
This document summarizes a research study on assessing the effects of enforcing anti-counterfeit drug laws and penalties on unethical drug marketing in Nigeria. The study found that enforcing existing penalties had a non-significant positive impact in reducing unethical marketing. To better control unethical marketing, the study designed a partnership model called the Regulatory Excellence Model to enhance enforcement efforts through cooperation between regulatory agencies and other stakeholders. Recommendations were made to address the ongoing issues of counterfeit drugs in Nigeria.
This document provides an overview of drug interactions, focusing on interactions involving the anticoagulant warfarin. It discusses several case reports and studies examining interactions between warfarin and nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs like ibuprofen, the pain reliever acetaminophen, and steroids/the antiviral remdesivir. The mechanisms of these interactions involve effects on cytochrome P450 enzymes and vitamin K metabolism, increasing the risk of bleeding complications due to elevated INR levels when these drugs are taken concurrently with warfarin. Close monitoring of INR is recommended when patients receive any of these medications along with warfarin.
1) The process of bringing a new medicine from initial discovery to patient use (molecule to medicine) is a long, complex, and expensive process involving target identification, preclinical testing, clinical trials, and regulatory review and approval.
2) Preclinical testing involves evaluating a molecule's pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics, safety, and toxicity in cell and animal studies. Positive preclinical results allow filing an Investigational New Drug (IND) application to begin human clinical trials.
3) Clinical trials are conducted in four phases to evaluate a drug's safety, efficacy, side effects, and optimal dosing in humans. The entire development process from discovery to approval takes 8-12 years and costs over $1

It also outlines debates around issues like physician dispensing, compounded medications, medical marijuana, and opioid monitoring programs.
Phil Lorenzi discusses pathway analysis approaches and their uses in biomedical research and drug development. He compares strategies for analyzing the autophagy and apoptosis pathways, finding that integrating multiple methods provides the most comprehensive understanding. Lorenzi also provides examples of how pathway analysis could have predicted problems with COX-2 inhibitors and helped explain past failures of AKT inhibitors. He concludes that pathway analysis is consistent with approvals of EGFR, MEK, RANKL and PARP inhibitors and may support development of GLS inhibitors.
This document discusses antihistamines, including their uses, types, adverse effects, and recommendations for patient education. It describes how first-generation antihistamines have more anticholinergic side effects and are contraindicated for older adults, while second-generation antihistamines have fewer side effects. It provides examples of common first and second-generation antihistamines. The document recommends choosing second-generation antihistamines when possible, checking for drug interactions, and providing education to patients about side effects and safe use of these medications.
The document outlines the key stages of drug discovery:
1. Target identification involves finding the specific biomolecule target of a drug.
2. Target validation helps evaluate the potential of a target through assays and screening to find initial hits.
3. Lead discovery uses screening methods like molecular modeling or combinational chemistry to identify initial compounds ("leads") that interact with the target.
4. Lead optimization chemically modifies the leads to improve efficacy, safety and other drug properties.
5. Pre-clinical safety involves animal testing, toxicity studies and formulation before clinical trials in humans.

Optimising Medicine Use, Professor Graham Davies, King's College LondonKCL_commsunit
This document discusses optimizing medicine use and the role of pharmacists. It notes that while medicines can be beneficial, they can also cause harm through adverse drug reactions and non-adherence. Adverse drug reactions account for 6.5% of hospital admissions annually and cost the NHS £466 million per year. Pharmacists can help by identifying medication problems using their knowledge of the patient, medicines, potential interactions and side effects. They establish therapeutic relationships to assess patients, create care plans, and evaluate outcomes with the goal of resolving issues and preventing future problems to deliver safe and effective care.
This document summarizes the misconceptions around opioid use and addiction. It discusses how opioids work in the brain to produce both analgesia and euphoria through activation of mu-opioid receptors. Repeated use leads to tolerance and physical dependence, but addiction only occurs in a small percentage of patients and involves distinct molecular mechanisms. Common misconceptions include equating addiction, tolerance and physical dependence. The document advocates for strategies to minimize risks of diversion and abuse through abuse-deterrent formulations.

Pharmacoepidemiology is the study of the use and effects of drugs in large populations. It applies epidemiological methods to issues in pharmacology. Descriptive studies examine disease and exposure rates, while analytic studies compare exposed and unexposed groups to test hypotheses. Pharmacoepidemiology aims to optimize drug use by quantifying known effects, discovering new effects, and informing safe and effective prescribing practices at a population level.
Assessment and evaluation of poly pharmacy associating factors including anti...MUSHTAQ AHMED
This study aimed to estimate the prevalence of polypharmacy, antibiotic and supplement use in patients through a retrospective analysis of prescriptions from hospitals and community pharmacies in Lahore and Faisal Abad, Pakistan. The prevalence of polypharmacy (use of 5+ medications) was 40%. Drug-drug interactions occurred in 17% of prescriptions. Factors associated with polypharmacy included diseases like diabetes, hypertension, and joint pains. The cost per prescription per day was 174.70 Pakistani rupees. Elderly patients commonly experienced polypharmacy and used supplements. Further analysis of prescribing patterns could help improve rational and cost-effective medical care.
Pharmacoepidemiology is the study of the use and effects of medications in large populations. It provides estimates of drug benefits and risks in real-world populations, helping to detect adverse effects that may have been missed in pre-market clinical trials due to limited sample sizes and patient populations that do not represent those seen in practice. Pharmacoepidemiology uses epidemiological methods like cohort studies and case-control studies to understand drug effects, interactions, and outcomes in patient populations. It also includes pharmacovigilance to monitor drug safety after market approval.

This document provides an introduction to pharmacovigilance, which is the study of the safety of marketed drugs. It discusses the importance of pharmacovigilance due to past drug safety issues like the thalidomide tragedy. Key terms related to pharmacovigilance are defined, such as adverse events, adverse reactions, and signals. Methods of pharmacovigilance like passive surveillance, data mining, and active surveillance are described. Important organizations involved in pharmacovigilance include the FDA, EMEA, MHLW, and CDSCO.
Clinical pharmacy may be defined as the science and practice of rationale use of medications, where the pharmacists are more oriented towards the patient care rationalizing medication therapy promoting health, wellness of people.
It is the modern and extended field of pharmacy.
Adverse drug reactions among critically ill patients at cairoAlexander Decker
The study aimed to assess the frequency and outcomes of adverse drug reactions among critically ill patients at Cairo University Hospital. The study found that 21% of the 150 critically ill patients studied experienced adverse drug reactions, ranging from mild to moderate or severe. Over half of the reactions were life-threatening. Due to the prevalence of adverse drug reactions in critically ill patients and their potential severity, the study recommends hospitals establish policies for managing adverse drug reactions and for healthcare providers to closely monitor patients and potential drug interactions when initiating new medications.

10 Benefits an EPCR Software should Bring to EMS Organizations Traumasoft LLC
The benefits of an ePCR solution should extend to the whole EMS organization, not just certain groups of people or certain departments. It should provide more than just a form for entering and a database for storing information. It should also include a workflow of how information is communicated, used and stored across the entire organization.
8 Surprising Reasons To Meditate 40 Minutes A Day That Can Change Your Life.pptxHolistified Wellness
We’re talking about Vedic Meditation, a form of meditation that has been around for at least 5,000 years. Back then, the people who lived in the Indus Valley, now known as India and Pakistan, practised meditation as a fundamental part of daily life. This knowledge that has given us yoga and Ayurveda, was known as Veda, hence the name Vedic. And though there are some written records, the practice has been passed down verbally from generation to generation.
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.
