Pharmacist Day - 25-09-2013

My dear fellow Pharmacists!

Greetings from Pharmacy Council of India , to all fellow pharmacists on the Pharmacist's day being celebrated on the September 25th this year onwards. The observing of the Pharmacist's day is not only for seeking recognition or recognizing pharmacists role in the health care, but also to remind us all of our responsibilities too!

Whenever I think of recognition for the pharmacists I am overwhelmed the respect and recognition we received from Dr APJ Abdul Kalam the former President of India. What more can be more befitting that he even coined a pharma oath for all of us! We gratefully thank him on this occasion.

Tomorrow the Million Pharmacist's of this country are going to observe the Pharmacist's day and I appeal to all my fellow pharmacists that let us take this oath on this day and let be heard a million times in this country! Let us all tomorrow  do one act of random kindness by helping those in need of health care by guiding them on the medicines they take!

Let us all work together and make this profession a glorious one.

Please forward this mail to the million pharmacists of the country so that our voice could be heard globally!

Planning for Amandment to Drugs & Cosmetics Act

Union Health Ministry is planning to make amendment to the Drugs and Cosmetics (D&C) Rules to increase the period of retention of documents from the manufacturers and also the control of samples for a greater time as part of tightening the monitoring quality of drugs.

The proposal, which is now under the consideration of an expert panel, is to amend the rule 65 (7) of the D&C Rules to increase the period of retention of documents, registers etc., for a period from two years to five years in line with the provision for maintaining manufacturing records.

Another proposal, being seriously considered is to amend Rules 74 and 78 with regard to retaining control on samples. As per the suggestion, the duration will be increased to five years from the date of manufacturing or three months from the date of expiry, whichever is later, sources said.Since the manufacturing records are required to be maintained for a period of five years from the date of manufacturing, it is appropriate to make it mandatory that the corresponding control on samples are also retained for the said duration, according to the recommendation.Both the proposals came up for discussion also at the Drugs Consultative Committee sometime back and the DCC referred them for further consideration by a sub-committee, sources said.

The Government is also planning a couple of other amendments to make the rules updated and in tune with the changed circumstances.

One another proposal is to amend Rule 143 of the Act. As per Rule 85 of D&C Rules, 1945 licensing Authority is having powers to issue Stop Production Order in respect of manufacture of drugs. However such type of provision is not included under Rule 143(Licensing Authority is having powers to suspend/cancel the cosmetics license only). Hence necessary amendment may be made under Rule 143 for issue of Stop Production Order

Eating fruits

EATING FRUIT...

We all think eating fruits means just buying fruits, cutting it and just popping it into our mouths. It's not as easy as you think.
It's important to know how and when to eat.

DON'T EAT FRUIT AFTER MEALS!

FRUITS SHOULD BE EATEN ON AN EMPTY STOMACH.

It will play a major role to detoxify your system, supplying a great deal of energy for weight loss and other life activities.

FRUIT IS THE MOST IMPORTANT FOOD. Let's say you eat two slices of bread and then a slice of fruit. The slice of fruit is ready to go straight through the stomach into the intestines, but it is prevented from doing so.

In the meantime the whole meal rots and ferments and turns to acid. The minute the fruit comes into contact with the food in the stomach and digestive juices, the entire mass of food begins to spoil....

Eat fruit on an empty stomach or before meals! People complain, "Every time I eat watermelon I burp; when I eat apples, my stomach bloats up; when I eat a banana�� I feel like running to the toilet, etc ” This will not arise if you eat the fruit on an empty stomach. Fruit mixes with the putrefying other food and produces gas, hence you will bloat!

Grey hair, balding, nervous outburst, and dark circles under eyes will NOT happen by taking fruit on an empty stomach.

There is no such thing as some fruits, like orange and lemon ��are acidic, because all fruits become alkaline in our body, according to Dr. Herbert Shelton who did research on this matter. Master the correct way of eating fruits, and you will  have beauty, longevity, health, energy, happiness and normal weight.

Drink only fresh fruit juice,�� NOT from the cans. Don't even drink juice that has been heated up. Don't eat cooked fruits because you don't get the nutrients at all. Cooking destroys all the vitamins.

Eating a whole fruit is better than drinking the juice. If you should drink the juice, drink it mouthful by mouthful slowly, because you must let it mix with your saliva before swallowing it. You can go on a 3-day fruit fast to cleanse your body. Just eat fruits and drink fruit juice throughout the 3 days and you will be surprised when your friends tell you how radiant you look!

KIWI: ��A good source of potassium, magnesium, vitamin E & fiber. Its vitamin C content is twice that of an orange.

APPLE: Although an apple has a low vitamin C content, it has antioxidants & flavonoids which enhances the activity of vitamin C thereby helping to lower risks of colon cancer, heart attack & stroke.

STRAWBERRY:  .. have the highest total antioxidant power among major fruits & protect from cancer-causing, blood vessel-clogging free radicals.

ORANGE :  Taking 2-4 oranges a day may help keep colds away, lower cholesterol, prevent & dissolve kidney stones as well as lessening the risk of colon cancer.

WATERMELON:  Composed of 92% water, it is also packed with a giant dose of glutathione, which helps boost our immune system. A key source of lycopene  the cancer fighting oxidant. Other nutrients found in watermelon are vitamin C & Potassium.

GUAVA & PAPAYA: �� for their high vitamin C content. Guava is also rich in fiber, which helps prevent constipation. Papaya is rich in carotene; good for your eyes.

Drinking Cold water after meals = Cancer!

It will solidify the oily stuff you have just consumed and  slow down digestion... Once this 'sludge' reacts with the acid, it will break down and be absorbed by the intestine faster than the solid food. It will line the intestine. This will turn into fats and lead to cancer. Better to drink hot soup or warm water after a meal.

HEART ATTACK PROCEDURE': Not every heart attack symptom is going to be the left arm hurting. Be aware of pain in the jaw line. You may never have chest pain during a heart attack. Nausea and intense sweating are common symptoms. Sixty percent who have an attack while asleep do not wake up. Pain in the jaw can awaken you.

5 Home remedies for whiter teeth

Sparkling white teeth are every person’s dream. Not just they enhance the beauty of your smile but also contribute to give you a magnetic personality. So you might be thinking it’s about time you should visit a dentist and finally get rid of the yellow stains. Wait a minute! You can have a glowing smile without wasting hundreds of dollars on bleaching trays and other so called whitening solutions.Here are some easy remedies, coming out straight from your kitchen shelf and giving you a wide white smile.teeth-whitening

Banana Peel

Banana is a fruit with many essential nutrients for the body. Who says banana peels are a waste? Next time when you are about to throw those banana peels rub them on your teeth for two minutes. After 15 minutes, brush your teeth with your regular toothpaste. Repeat this process twice or thrice a week. After some time you will notice a visible difference.

How can banana peel help to whiten teeth? Banana peel contains some essential mineral like potassium, manganese and magnesium that penetrates into the teeth and helps to whiten them.

Strawberries

The sweet tasting bright colored strawberries can brighten up your smile as well. All you have to do is take one to two strawberries, mash them up and apply them to your teeth for 2 to 3 minutes. After this procedure you can simply rinse off with water or you can brush your teeth. Strawberries help in two ways. Firstly, they are a rich source of natural enzyme known as malic acid. Louisa Mccan-Graves, beauty expert and author of the book, “Hollywood Beauty Sectrets: Remedies to the Rescue”, says that malic acid is the key component in many teeth whitening tooth pastes. Dentistry expert, Dr. Steven Roth says that the fiber found in strawberries act as a natural cleanser and helps remove bacteria, specifically from the mouth and teeth.

Lemon Peel and Juice

Another fruit that works as an effective teeth whitener is lemon. The high acid level contained in the peel of the lemon work as a powerful whitener or bleaching agent. Dr. Roth says, “Just as they naturally ‘bleach’ your hair, lemons will lighten and brighten your teeth,”You can either rub the lemon peel or apply its juice to the teeth. Take lemon juice and mix with equal quantity of water e.g. if you are taking one teaspoon of lemon juice then mix it with 1 teaspoon of water. Do not use lemon for more than twice a week. The lemon being too acidic can cause tooth decay and destroy the enamel by degrading its calcium, if used very frequently.Other fruits such as pineapple and oranges also help to keep the teeth clean.

Crunchy Carrots

Feel happy when the next time you hear the crunching sounds of the carrots in your mouth. Why? Because raw carrots are very beneficial in scrapping off plaque from your teeth and are also known as natural cleaner. Dr. Jeffrey Gross at the Case Western Reserve University School of Dental Medicine says, “It may sound hard to believe, but some people swear that rubbing raw carrot sticks on your teeth will make them look brighter”.They also kill the bacteria by maintaining the acid-alkaline balance of the mouth. So every time you crunch on that carrot you are getting whiter teeth along with healthy gums.Apple and celery are also equally important as teeth whiteners. This is what Dr. Michael Apa, a specialized cosmetic dentist has to say, “These foods are high in Vitamin C, which prevents gum disease and gingivitis and kills odor-causing bacteria”.

Baking Soda

All the dental experts agree to the fact that one of the safest and strongest teeth whitener is baking soda. It is an excellent acid neutralizer and helps to remove stains while protecting the enamel. Mix a little salt with baking soda i.e. a pinch of both, apply it to your teeth with a help of a soft tooth brush. Leave it for two to three minutes and then rinse off with water. You will get white sparkling teeth in an instant(Personal experience).There are many whitening tooth pastes available in the market containing baking soda, but if your tooth paste does not contain it you can sprinkle it on your tooth paste before brushing.To ensure better teeth and gum health, calcium enriched dairy products such as milk and cheese can be very useful. Black tea and coffee can stain your teeth so it is better if you add a little milk to them. It is also suggested to use a straw for drinking dark beverages such as grape juice and soda. Dr. Roth says, “The straw allows food dyes to bypass teeth altogether”.Flossing your teeth twice daily can also brighten up your teeth.These home remedies are harmless and best of all inexpensive and would provide you with beneficial results.

Heart Attacks and Hot Water

A very good article which takes two minutes to read.

Heart Attacks And Drinking Warm Water.

This is a very good article. Not only about the warm water after your meal, but about Heart Attacks. The Chinese and Japanese drink hot tea with their meals, not cold water, maybe it is time we adopt their drinking habit while eating.

For those who like to drink cold water, this article is applicable to you. It is nice to have a cup of cold drink after a meal. However, the cold water will solidify the oily stuff that you have just consumed. It will slow down the digestion. Once this 'sludge' reacts with the acid, it will break down and be absorbed by the intestine faster than the solid food. It will line the intestine. Very soon, this will turn into fats and lead to cancer. It is best to drink hot soup or warm water after a meal.

Common Symptoms Of Heart Attack...

A serious note about heart attacks -

You! should know that not every heart attack symptom is going to be the left arm hurting . Be aware of intense pain in the jaw line.You may never have the first chest pain during the course of a heart attack. Nausea and intense sweating are also common symptoms. 60% of people who have a heart attack while they are asleep do not wake up. Pain in the jaw can wake you from a sound sleep.

Breast cancer - Useful information

Breast cancer is the most common form of cancer and also the deadliest of all cancers. The World Health Organization (WHO) has predicted that by 2020 the number of breast cancer cases will be much higher.
In fact, it is believed that in coming few years one in every eight women would run the risk of developing breast cancer in her lifetime. This figure has been also estimated by the Indian Council of Medical Research (ICMR).
Breast cancer is a complex disease, and many factors contribute to it such as genetics along with lifestyle and dietary factors.
However breast cancer can be prevented with certain healthy habits such as limiting alcohol consumption, avoid smoking, controlling your weight, breast feeding, avoiding exposure to radiation and environmental pollution, and limiting the duration of hormone therapy, staying physically active and regular medical checkups.
At the same time following a healthy diet plan can also reduce the risk of breast cancer to a great extent. There are certain food items that help to fight malignant cancer cells at the onset and thus help in preventing breast cancer.

Broccoli
Broccoli contains cancer-fighting compounds known as indole-3-carbinol. This particular chemical converts the type of estrogen that causes cancer into a more cancer-protective type of estrogen and help in reducing the risk of various types of cancers such as breast, bladder, lymphoma, prostate and lung cancer. Try to eat five portions of broccoli in a day to help protect against breast cancer. Cooked broccoli supply more health benefits than raw broccoli. Along with broccoli, try to include other cruciferous vegetables such as cabbage, kale, and cauliflower in your diet plan in order to reduce the risk of breast cancer.

Salmon
Salmon is a kind of oily fish that contains a good amount of omega-3 fatty acids which slows down the growth of cancerous tumors and also boosts the immune system. At the same time salmon is also a smart lean protein source along with vitamins B12 and D. All these elements provide your body with the nutrients required to regulate cell growth and prevent cancer. You can eat salmon by steaming it, baking it or grilling it. For better result try to eat three portions of fresh salmon each week. Along with salmon, other oily fishes that can prevent breast cancer are mackerel, sardines, trout, sea bass and tuna.

Turmeric
Turmeric contains a substance known as Curcumin that can inhibit various types of cancer cells such as breast, gastrointestinal, lung, and skin cancer. According to various research works it has been found that turmeric helps a lot to prevent breast cancer from spreading to the lungs when combined with certain drug-based therapy. It has several cancer-fighting properties and it actually repairs DNA that has been damaged by radiation. You can enjoy the protective benefits of Curcumin by just adding little bit of turmeric powder to your foods or eat a pinch of raw turmeric with water every morning on an empty stomach.

Blueberries
Blueberries are power-packed with vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants that can aid in breast cancer prevention. The photochemical present in blueberries work together to prevent the growth and spread of various forms of breast cancer. At the same time blueberries are rich in antioxidants such as ellagic acid which has anticancer properties which destroy cancer-causing substances and slow the growth of tumors. Along with blueberries, other types of berries that can prevent breast cancer are strawberries, raspberries, blackberries, blueberries, and cranberries. To reap the benefits of blueberries try to eat them fresh instead of the packaged versions.

Tomatoes
Tomatoes contain lycopene, a powerful antioxidant that can prevent the development of breast cancer by stopping cancer cell growth. According to the American Institute for Cancer Research, lycopene also stops the growth of tumors by interfering with abnormal cell growth. Along with breast cancer, lycopene is also beneficial in stopping other types of cancer cells from growing, including lung, and endometrial. To enjoy the benefits of tomatoes, you can eat cooked, concentrated or processed tomatoes. However the best option is to drink half glass of tomato juice daily.

Garlic
Studies show that garlic also helps in preventing breast cancer. The sulfur compounds present in garlic speeds DNA repair, and kills cancer cells connected with breast cancer, mouth cancer, stomach cancer, and colon cancer. To get the most benefit, peel and chop the garlic cloves and let them sit for about fifteen minutes before cooking. Also crush or swallow a piece of garlic every morning in order to live a cancer-free life. However people on blood thinners and certain other medications should talk with their doctor before taking garlic supplements.

Flax seed
Flax seed contains high levels of lignans, which protect against estrogen-dependent cancers such as breast cancer. Flax seed or flax seed oil is among the few sources of the essential omega-3 fatty acid ALA which forms a protective shield against cancer cells responsible for causing breast cancer. You can add powdered flax seed to yogurt or a smoothie to create a richer and nutty flavor. You can also add flax seed oil to salad dressings too or integrate them into baked goods, such as cookies or muffins.

Spinach
Spinach contains an antioxidant known as lutien which plays a key role in guarding against breast cancer along with mouth, esophagus, and stomach cancer. It is also rich in zeaxanthin and carotids that remove unstable molecules called free radicals from your body before they damage it. Women must eat spinach at least twice a week in order to reduce the risk of breast cancer. Spinach can be enjoyed in the form of a salad, soup, steamed, sauteed or stirred. Along with spinach also eat other green leafy vegetables such as kale, collard greens, Swiss chard, or romaine lettuce.

Walnuts
Walnuts contain many helpful nutrients and healthy omega-3 fatty acids, which help your body fight inflammation that actually slow down the growth of breast cancer tumors. Research suggests that walnut is particularly effective at protecting your cells against environmental exposures that may increase the risk for cancer. Regular consumption of walnuts can help you keep breast cancer at bay. Heath experts suggest eating two ounces of walnuts in a day in order to slow down the development and growth of breast cancer tumors.: To conclude, by including the above mentioned food items in your diet plan you can easily reduce the risk of breast cancer and also from spreading if the cancer has developed. Also to prevent cancer regular medical-checkups is a must and you must regular consult a doctor.

New DPCO & Enforcement

NEW DPCO & ENFORCEMENT Department of Pharmaceuticals came out with a notification last week replacing the Drug Price Control Order of 1995 with a new DPCO bringing formulations of 348 drugs under price control. The DPCO 2013 is effective from May 15. The Department has directed the National Pharmaceutical Pricing Authority to begin the process of price fixation so that the effect of the policy could be made felt in the market at the earliest. The manufacturers are given 45 days to clear old stocks and implement the new rates. Although the new Pharmaceutical policy was announced last year stating formulations of 348 drugs will come under price control, there were no clear indications when the Department will notify the new DPCO. The reason for not expecting the announcement of the new DPCO so soon is the petition in the Supreme Court over the method of price fixation of drugs in the new policy. While the industry and Department are in favour of price fixation on the basis of simple average of market price of a product, the petition filed by some patient groups wanted the drug price fixing should be on the basis of cost plus formula. The Supreme Court had also observed in one of the past hearings that price fixing formula on the basis of average market price of a formulation in the new drug policy could lead to an increase in prices of life saving drugs and therefore the government should continue with the cost based pricing as in the last policy.The Department is claiming that the drug prices may come down drastically with the implementation of DPCO 2013. In a few cases this may happen and that too if the pharma companies cooperate. Largely, drug prices may not come down as expected because there are many high priced products in each therapeutic category and a simple average may not bring down prices much. Secondly, the bulk drugs and patented drugs continue to remain outside price control. A significant clause in the new DPCO is regarding the discontinuation of the formulations under price control by the manufacturing units. The new DPCO says that manufacturers intending to discontinue any scheduled formulation should issue a public notice and also intimate the Government in this regard at least six months prior to the intended date of discontinuation. Several drug companies had stopped manufacturing or marketing of price controlled drugs after the DPCO of 1995 was notified causing non availability of those drugs in the market. As per the new DPCO, the Department will also monitor the production and availability of scheduled formulations and the active pharmaceutical ingredients and the manufacturers have to furnish such information to the Department on a quarterly basis. These provisions are of great public interest. It is possible that many of the multinationals and some large Indian drug companies may not be happy with a larger basket of price controlled drugs in the new DPCO as they will be no more free to sell several drugs at high prices. Now, the most critical part of the whole exercise of drug price control in India is the effectiveness of the enforcement of DPCO by NPPA. If one goes by the past record of enforcement, it is a dismal picture of hundreds of cases of overcharging, circumvention and open violation of the DPCO provisions by several multinational and large Indian companies

HOW TO SURVIVE A HEART ATTACK WHEN ALONE

Let’s say it’s 6.15pm and you’re going home (alone ofcourse), after an unusually hard day on the job.

You’re really tired, upset and frustrated.

Suddenly you start experiencing severe pain in yourchest that starts to drag out into your arm and upinto your jaw.

You are only about five miles from thehospital nearest your home. Unfortunately you don’t
know if you’ll be able to make it that far. You have
been trained in CPR, but the guy that taught the
course did not tell you how to perform it on yourself.

HOW TO SURVIVE A HEART ATTACK WHEN ALONE

Since many people are alone when they suffer a heartattack, without help,the person whose heart is beating improperly and who begins to feel faint, has only about 10 seconds left before losing consciousness.

However,these victims can help themselves by coughing repeatedly and very vigorously. A deep breath should be taken before each cough, and the cough must be deep
and prolonged, as when producing sputum from deep inside the chest.

A breath and a cough must be repeated about every two seconds without let-up until help arrives, or until the heart is felt to be beating normally again.

Deep breaths get oxygen into the lungs and coughing movements squeeze the heart and keep the blood circulating. The squeezing pressure on the heart also helps it regain normal rhythm. In this way, heart attack victims can get to a hospital.

Tell as many other people as possible about this. It could save their lives!!

A cardiologist says If everyone who gets this mail sends it to 10 people, you can bet that we’ll save at least one life.

Rather than sending jokes please.. contribute by forwarding this mail which can save a person’s life….If this message comes around you ……more than once…..please don’t get irritated……U need to be happy that you are being reminded of how to tackle….Heart attacks….AGAIN…

Directives for Prescribing Generic Medicines

The duties and responsibilities of the physicians as prescribed under the Code of Medical Ethics in the Indian Medical Council (Professional Conduct, Etiquette and Ethics) Regulations, 2002 contain the provision that every physician should, as far as possible, prescribe drugs with generic names and he / she shall ensure that there is a rational prescription and use of drugs. These regulations prescribe for removal of registration of the errant medical professional for violation of the provisions altogether or for a specified period. To deal with the unethical behaviour of some medical professionals in promoting / endorsing the (costly branded) products of pharmaceutical companies in lieu of unethical gratifications / inducements, the Medical Council of India had amended the Indian Medical Council (Professional conduct, Etiquette and Ethics) Regulations, 2002 bringing the conduct of medical professionals in their relationship with pharmaceutical industry under the purview of these regulations by inserting a new Clause 6.8 which states that a medical practitioner shall not endorse any drug or product of the industry publically. In addition to these rules, the Government has from time to time been issuing repeated circulars / instructions to all Central Government hospitals, CGHS dispensaries and the State Governments for encouraging / motivating doctors to prescribe generic medicines to the maximum extent possible.
