pharmacy (n.)

late 14c., farmacie, "a medicine that rids the body of an excess of humors (except blood);" also "treatment with medicine; theory of treatment with medicine," from Old French farmacie "a purgative" (13c.) and directly from Medieval Latin pharmacia, from Greek pharmakeia "a healing or harmful medicine, a healing or poisonous herb; a drug, poisonous potion; magic (potion), dye, raw material for physical or chemical processing."

This is from pharmakeus (fem. pharmakis) "a preparer of drugs, a poisoner, a sorcerer" from pharmakon "a drug, a poison, philter, charm, spell, enchantment." Beekes writes that the original meaning cannot be clearly established, and "The word is clearly Pre-Greek." The ph- was restored 16c. in French, 17c. in English (see ph).

Buck ["Selected Indo-European Synonyms"] notes that "Words for 'poison', apart from an inherited group, are in some cases the same as those for 'drug' ...." In addition to the Greek word he has Latin venenum "poison," earlier "drug, medical potion" (source of Spanish veneno, French venin, English venom), and Old English lybb.

Meaning "the use or administration of drugs" is from c. 1400; the sense of "art or practice of preparing, preserving, and compounding medicines and dispensing them according to prescriptions" is from 1650s; that of "place where drugs are prepared and dispensed" is recorded by 1833.

Johnson & Johnson is currently, like right this minute, trying to extend their patent on the TB drug bedaquiline, keeping it out of generic for another four years. TB killed about 30,000 people last week and is the world's deadliest infectious disease.

If this drug does not go generic now it could affect 6 million people in the next four years (the time it would take the "new" patent to run out). Out of those millions of people who get TB, but can't get bedaquiline, most of them will die. From a PREVENTABLE DISEASE.

Why is this happening? Money. But also, because TB is not an issue in countries like the US. We can afford its $1.50 a pill price. But if you live in a poor country, that's too much money to spend on something you need to take for up to four months.

J&J needs to let this drug go public and do its job in places that can't currently afford it. They need to help people, instead of trying to wring the last few drops of money out of one of their many products, at the cost of human lives. @sizzlingsandwichperfection-blog does a waaaay better job of explaining this than me. Check out the video and the video description for links and ways to help!

The pharmacologist James Whyte Black was born on 14th June 1924, in Uddingston, Lanarkshire.

During his lifetime James Black was involved in the development of two different treatments, Propranolol, (Inderal) a beta blocker used to treat high blood pressure and Cimetidine ( Tagamet), used for heartburn.

He attended Beath High School where his teacher persuaded him to take the competitive entrance examination for St Andrews University. An intelligent boy, he managed to earn the Patrick Hamilton Residential Scholarship. Going on to study medicine but decided against a career as a doctor instead going on to lecture at University College before moving to Singapore and then back to University of Glasgow

It was in Glasgow Blacko built a research laboratory providing the most advanced cardiovascular technology and developed an interest in the effects of the hormone adrenaline on the human heart.

He was persuaded to leave the academic life and joined ICI Pharmaceuticals in 1958. His years with the company led to some extraordinary discoveries in medical science. He collaborated with scientists in his team to develop propranolol which is a beta blocker used for the treatment of heart disease. The discovery of propranolol is considered one of the greatest breakthroughs in the treatment of heart disease.

Along with the development of propranolol, Black was also working on developing a similar method of treatment for stomach ulcers. However, ICI was not interested in pursuing research in this direction. Thus, Black resigned in 1964 and joined Smith, Kline and French, it was with them he developed a new drug called cimetidine, now you might not have heard of it by that name but the company branded it as Tagamet in 1975, used in the treatment of heartburn and peptic ulcers it became the world’s largest-selling prescription drug.

Black was knighted in 1981 and was awarded the 1988 Nobel Prize in Medicine along with Gertrude B. Elion and George H. Hitchings “for their discoveries of important principles for drug treatment.”

In 2006 Dundee University honoured him with the opening of the Sir James Black Centre, the following year King’s College London followed Dundee by also opening a centre named after Black.

Black died, aged 85, on the morning of 22nd March 2010 after a long illness and is buried at the Ardclach cemetery near Nairn. Upon hearing of Black’s death, Professor Pete Downes, Principal and Vice-Chancellor of the University of Dundee said Black “was a great scientist, but he was also a great man to know” while the BBC said he was “hailed as one of the great Scottish scientists of the 20th Century”. He was described by The Daily Telegraph as the man who earned the most for the pharmaceutical industry through his drug development, though he received little personal financial gain from his work.

Why Paracetamol Suppositories Are a Preferred Option for Pain Relief

Paracetamol, widely recognized for its effectiveness in relieving pain and reducing fever, is available in various forms, including tablets, syrups, and suppositories.  Among these, paracetamol suppositories have emerged as a preferred option for pain relief in specific scenarios.  Their unique mode of administration, coupled with their efficacy, makes them a vital solution in the pharmaceutical world.

In this blog, we shall delve into why paracetamol suppositories are gaining popularity, the advantages they offer, and the role of leading paracetamol suppository manufacturers, exporters, and suppliers in meeting global demand.

What Are Paracetamol Suppositories?

A paracetamol suppository is a solid dosage form designed for rectal administration.  These suppositories dissolve or melt at body temperature, allowing the active ingredient—paracetamol—to be absorbed directly into the bloodstream through the rectal mucosa.  This mode of delivery bypasses the digestive system, offering a distinct advantage in certain medical conditions and patient groups.

Advantages of Paracetamol Suppositories

1.  Ideal for Patients with Swallowing Difficulties

One of the significant advantages of paracetamol suppositories is their suitability for patients who have difficulty swallowing pills or liquids.  This includes:

Young children

Elderly individuals

Patients with nausea or vomiting

For these groups, suppositories provide an effective alternative that ensures the medication is absorbed efficiently.

2.  Bypassing the Digestive System

Unlike oral medications, suppositories do not need to pass through the gastrointestinal tract.  This offers several benefits:

Faster onset of action due to direct absorption into the bloodstream.

Avoidance of potential drug interactions or degradation caused by stomach acids.

Suitability for patients experiencing gastrointestinal issues.

3.  Precise Dosage Delivery

Paracetamol suppositories are available in specific dosages tailored for different age groups, from infants to adults.  This precision ensures safe and effective pain management without the risk of over- or under-dosing.

4.  Minimal Side Effects

Rectal administration reduces the likelihood of gastrointestinal side effects, such as stomach irritation or ulcers, which are sometimes associated with oral pain relievers.

5.  Convenience in Pediatric Care

For parents, administering a paracetamol suppository to a fussy or unwell child can often be easier than persuading them to take a liquid or tablet medication.

Common Uses of Paracetamol Suppositories

1.  Pain Relief

Paracetamol suppositories are effective in alleviating mild to moderate pain, such as:

Headaches

Muscle pain

Post-surgical discomfort

2.  Fever Reduction

As an antipyretic, paracetamol helps lower fever.  This is particularly beneficial for:

Children with high fevers who cannot tolerate oral medications.

Patients recovering from surgeries or illnesses causing fever.

3.  Post-Surgical Recovery

Suppositories are often used in post-operative care to manage pain and fever, especially when oral administration is not feasible.

Why Choose a Trusted Paracetamol Suppository Manufacturer?

The quality and efficacy of a paracetamol suppository depend significantly on the manufacturer’s expertise and processes.  A trusted paracetamol suppository manufacturer ensures:

Stringent Quality Control:  Products meet international quality and safety standards.

Precise Formulation:  Accurate dosages tailored to various patient needs.

Innovative Technology:  Use of advanced manufacturing techniques for optimal absorption and efficacy.

Regulatory Compliance:  Adherence to local and global pharmaceutical regulations.

The Role of Paracetamol Suppository Exporters and Suppliers

The global demand for paracetamol suppositories is on the rise due to their unique advantages and growing awareness among healthcare providers.  Leading paracetamol suppository exporters and suppliers play a crucial role in meeting this demand by:

1.   Ensuring Global Availability

Exporters bridge the gap between manufacturers and international markets, ensuring that high-quality suppositories reach healthcare providers worldwide.

2.   Customizing Solutions

Suppliers often provide tailored packaging and dosage options to meet the specific requirements of different regions and demographics.

3.   Maintaining Supply Chain Efficiency

By leveraging robust logistics networks, exporters and suppliers ensure timely delivery and consistent availability of paracetamol suppositories.

The definition and practice of pharmacognosy have been evolving since the term was first introduced about 200 years ago (Kinghorn, 2001; Samuelsson, 2004), as drug use from medicinal plants has progressed from the formulation of crude drugs to the isolation of active compounds in drug discovery. The American Society of Pharmacognosy refers to pharmacognosy as “the study of the physical, chemical, biochemical and biological properties of drugs, drug substances, or potential drugs or drug substances of natural origin as well as the search for new drugs from natural sources”. As practiced today, pharmacognosy involves the broad study of natural products from various sources including plants, bacteria, fungi, and marine organisms.

Understanding Dexketoprofen Trometamol - Uses and Benefits

The field of pain management has evolved significantly with the advent of various analgesics designed to alleviate acute and chronic pain.  Among the most effective non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) is Dexketoprofen Trometamol.  This fast-acting pain reliever has been extensively used in treating musculoskeletal pain, dental pain, and post-operative discomfort, providing relief without the high risk of dependency that accompanies some stronger painkillers.

In this blog, we will delve deep into the uses, benefits, and broader applications of Dexketoprofen Trometamol, particularly focusing on the 25 mg oral solution.  We will also explore its role in the pharmaceutical industry in India and discuss why it has become a vital product for medicine manufacturers and suppliers in India.

Many women suffer from severe menstrual cramps, which can severely impact their daily lives.  Dexketoprofen Trometamol provides rapid relief, helping to alleviate cramps and associated symptoms such as back pain and headaches.

5.         Migraines

Migraines are known for their debilitating impact on individuals, with symptoms ranging from intense headaches to nausea and sensitivity to light.  Dexketoprofen Trometamol has proven to be effective in managing migraine symptoms, offering quick relief from pain and associated discomforts.

1.         Rapid Onset of Action

One of the standout features of Dexketoprofen Trometamol is its rapid onset of action.  When taken in its oral solution form, it can provide pain relief in as little as 30 minutes.  This makes it an ideal option for acute pain management.

2.         Effective Pain Relief

Dexketoprofen Trometamol is highly effective in managing various types of pain, including musculoskeletal pain, dental pain, and post-operative pain.  It's ability to inhibit the production of prostaglandins ensures that inflammation and pain are kept in check.

3.         Minimized Side Effects

Compared to other NSAIDs, Dexketoprofen Trometamol is known for causing fewer gastrointestinal side effects.  While no drug is entirely free from potential side effects, this medication is considered to have a safer profile when used under proper medical guidance.

4.         Versatility in Treatment

From migraines to dental pain, and from musculoskeletal pain to menstrual cramps, Dexketoprofen Trometamol has proven effective in a wide range of painful conditions.  Its versatility makes it an essential tool in pain management for both acute and chronic conditions.
