Background: The increasing popularity of herbal medicines and dietary supplements has raised concern about potential adulteration with pharmaceutical drugs.
Objective: To detect and determine cyproheptadine (CYP) and dexamethasone (DEX) as adulterants in weight gain herbal supplements found in the Iraqi market.
Methods: Nine herbal supplements marketed as natural weight gainers were purchased from local pharmacies and were screened using high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) for qualitative and quantitative detection of CYP and DEX.
Article Synopsis
- A study was conducted to evaluate the effects of a falls risk assessment toolkit (FRAT) at a UK medical center on non-elective admissions due to falls and the use of psychotropic medications.
- The analysis used data from before and after the toolkit's implementation in July 2017, focusing on the number and cost of admissions, as well as prescribing data for medications.
- Results showed a significant decrease in both non-elective fall admissions and prescription costs for psychotropic medications, suggesting that the FRAT effectively reduced falls and related expenses.
Objective: Originator pharmaceutical companies prolonging the patent of a medicine prevents rivals' entry to the market and competition. As the entry of generic alternatives usually results in price reduction, any delay in their entry potentially deprives the National Health Service (NHS) of much-needed savings. This study estimates the potential cost savings lost to the NHS as a result of delayed entry of generic low-dose buprenorphine (LDTB) patches in England.
