President Clinton and several Legislators have proposed restrictions on price increases in the pharmaceutical industry similar to those on some public utilities. Studies, however, suggest that under conditions of rapidly changing demand (as found in pharmaceuticals), price-caps could be manipulated. Using simulations, we show that in reaction to regulation, pharmaceutical firms would optimally ...

This paper presents an inventory control problem in a private pharmaceutical distribution company from the Republic of Serbia. The realizes that within nine neighbouring countries and supply chain is centralized. In order to constitute conceptual model problem, we propose modern theory concept. based on specific practical assumptions constraints chain. Thereafter, dynamic discrete mathematical ...

BACKGROUND Medicines use related challenges such as inadequate adherence, high levels of antimicrobial resistance and preventable adverse drug reactions have underscored the need to incorporate pharmaceutical services to help achieve desired treatment outcomes, and protect patients from inappropriate use of medicines. This situation is further constrained by insufficient numbers of pharmaceutic...

In these presentation records we propose a procedure to increase robustness of production plans embedded in a modelling approach based on integrated multi-scale optimization models and solution methods for planning and scheduling of a make to order production process under uncertain and varying demand conditions. As an inspiration we have a large real world problem originating from a complex ph...

Some medical providers have advocated applied genomics, including the use of genetically linked racial phenotypes in medical practice, raising fear that race-based medication will become justified. As with other emerging medical genetic technologies, pharmaceutical companies may advertise these treatments. Researchers fear that consumers will uncritically accept pharmaceutical messages and dema...

Proper chemical imaging tools are critical to the pharmaceutical industry due to growing regulatory demand for intermediate and end-product content uniformity testing. Herein we demonstrate stimulated Raman scattering (SRS) imaging of active pharmaceutical ingredient (API) and four excipients within tablets. Tablets from six manufactures were imaged with a speed of 53 s per frame of 512 × 512 p...

www.pharmaporta l .com ackaging is one of the largest industry sectors in the world, worth $280 billion. Consumer healthcare packaging represents 4% ($11.2 billion) of the packaging industry. As drug manufacturers approach the 21st century, they face a number of challenges that packaging can help them meet. A decade ago packaging often was an afterthought for many pharmaceutical companies, view...

In this study, Chemical Oxygen Demand (COD) from a pharmaceutical wastewater (PhW) was reduced by several techniques such as electro-Fenton (EF), photo electro-Fenton (PEF) and activated sludge (AS) processes and the obtained data were compared with each other. The effects of several parameters such as pH, current density, H2O2/Fe2+ molar ratio, volume ratio of ...

pharmaceutical industry is currently undergoing a transient phase with new orientation. loss of financial resources, presence of new therapeutic agents and increasing cost of research and development have called for a full.scale restructuring within the pharmaceutical industry to retain even the most basic competitiveness. the development of new technologies has been as one way out of the dilem...
