Pharmaceutical Quality and the world

Are pharmaceutical quality and drug price related? Not necessarily.

The price of the materials, excipients, drugs ,establishment and the cost of the production are not the only factors that determine the price of products. Many strategies of the manufacturing houses play a role in determining the price. Quality and price are often unrelated.

Pharmaceutical quality is a term that indicates the elegance, in vitro performance and in vivo performance of a drug product. For each type of formulation the factors that are studied to measure quality vary. This is with respect to a product. But the word is also used at another level and in another context.

Dear Friends
I want to take this opportunity to tell all of you about what a group discussion is. A group discussion is something where all the participants express and exchange their views. The discussion should go smoothly without any turbulence and when it ends there should be some positive results.

Ask your pharmacist for safe use of prescription drugs

In a meeting held in connection with National Pharmacy Week , this is what I said to the gathering which consisted mostly of pharmacy students:

Dear friends

One major problem in our healthcare field is this. The doctor prescribes the medicines but the patient is not consuming them in the proper manner, so proper results are not obtained. This is where a pharmacist, who has knowledge about medicines and who is more accessible to the patient can help by giving proper advice to the patient.

We observed that doctors prescribe cetrizine hydrochloride tablets and cough syrups containing chlorpheniramine maleate ( sometimes both are prescribed at the same time) and the patients come out of the doctors' chambers without any knowledge about the drowsiness that is likely to be caused by these drugs. in such situations pharmacist can play a crucial role.
