Columbia Journal of Pharmaceutical Sciences: 2015; 2 (2); April-June, Pages-16-21 ABSTRACT: Herbal drugs constitute a major share of all the officially recognised systems of health in India viz. Ayurveda, Yoga, Unani, Siddha, Homeopathy and Naturopathy, except Allopathy. More than 70% of India’s 1.1 billion population still use these non-allopathic systems of medicine. There has been an increas...

Hospital wastewaters are loaded with pathogenic microorganisms, laboratory and pharmaceutical residuals, pharmaceutical partially metabolized, radioactive elements and other toxic chemical substances, So in order to wastewater treatment and disposal condition have special importance. Aim of this study is survey Kerman province (southwest Iran) hospitals wastewater treatment condition and efflue...

Generic drugs have a key role to play in the efficient allocation of financial resources for pharmaceutical medicines. Policies implemented in the countries with a high rate of generic drug use, such as Canada, Denmark, Germany, the Netherlands, the United Kingdom, and the United States, are reviewed, with consideration of the market structures that facilitate strong competition. Savings in the...

The prevalence of antibiotic resistant microbes has led to a call for new antibiotics development. Due to the irresponsible practices of the medical community in prescribing antibiotics, much of the demand for new antibiotics is suspect. I argue that the social contract, which properly includes human relationships with laboratory animals, requires a conservative attitude toward new antibiotics ...

The NIST Analytical Chemistry Division has supplied transmittance verification and wavelength calibration standard reference materials (SRMs) specialized to the needs of chemical and pharmaceutical spectrophotometric analysis since 1970. Growing demand for UV/visible standards stems from the increasingly routine use of spectrophotometers for pharmaceutical quality control and from the escalatio...

Recently, the demand for epidemic prevention equipment and therapeutic drugs at home abroad has surged. In order to improve their competitiveness, enterprises have invested a lot of money in drug research development medical device innovation.This paper focuses on analysis background conditions information disclosure China recent years, combines expounds two scientific theoretical foundations r...

abstract prescribing behavior of physicians affected by many factors. the present study is aimed at discovering the simultaneous effects of the evaluated factors (including: price, promotion and demographic characteristics of physicians) and quantification of these effects. in order to estimate these effects, fluvoxamine (an antidepressant drug) was selected and the model was figured out by pan...

Current standards and regulations demand the pharmaceutical industry not only to produce highly pure drug substances, but to achieve a thorough understanding of the impurities accompanying their manufactured drug substances and products. These challenges have become important goals of process chemistry and have steadily stimulated the search of impurities after accelerated or forced degradation...

Three out of four patients who ask their physician for a drug receive it. Do patients really wield so much influence? While empirical analysis of patient-level prescription claims reveals that advertising affects the choice probability, there are two caveats. First, promotions aimed directly at physicians affect prescription choice much more than promotions aimed at consumers, suggesting that a...

In many real inventory situations of short life-cycle products the decision maker often has to provide a subjective estimate of new demand distribution due to the lack of historical data. Thus, both randomness and uncertainty simultaneously appear in a single-period inventory (newsboy) problem. In this paper, we develop both single-item and multi-item single-period inventory models when market ...
