For The Guardian, Tharanika Ahillan writes about the threat that substandard and falsified antimicrobial products pose to people living in low- and middle-income countries (#LMICs) and how this contributes to #AntimicrobialResistance, featuring insights from the Foundation's Head of Research, Claudia Martínez: "Pharma supply chains in many low- and middle-income countries are often complex, inefficient and fragmented; the region relies heavily on a limited number of suppliers for essential medicines, and many countries face significant challenges in procuring products in time and effectively policing the quality of products in the market."

As we delve into the dynamics of healthcare and pharmaceutical consumption, it's projected that by 2023, the utilization of antibiotics is set to witness a substantial surge across various countries. Notably, India is estimated to experience an 82% increase, while China is anticipated to observe a 59% upsurge. Similarly, Brazil is expected to encounter a 41% rise, and the United States is projected to witness a 22% spike in antibiotic usage. These statistics reflect the critical need for heightened awareness and proactive measures to address the escalating concerns associated with antimicrobial resistance. It's imperative to foster a culture of responsible antibiotic stewardship, promote stringent regulations, and prioritize the development of alternative therapies to mitigate the potential risks posed by increased antibiotic consumption. Let's collectively prioritize sustainable healthcare practices and collaborative efforts to safeguard the efficacy of antibiotics and ensure a healthier future for our global community. ~ Dr. Prashanthi #AntibioticAwareness #HealthcareTrends #PublicHealthInitiatives #GlobalHealth 🌎🔬

While tuberculosis (TB) can be cured, it still disproportionately affects low and middle-income nations, a situation worsened by the hurdles in securing reliable healthcare. At APIFA, we believe that local manufacturing of Active Pharmaceutical Ingredients (APIs) and other health products and technologies is pivotal in guaranteeing the consistent availability of crucial medications, which includes TB treatments, thereby enhancing the accessibility of these drugs for the populations most in need. Together, we can #EndTB. #WorldTBDay #APIForAfrica World Health Organization | Africa CDC

On July 25, a bipartisan House Committee roundtable met to discuss "Threats to Modern Medicine: Examining the Budgetary Effects of Antimicrobial Resistance (AMR) and the Broken Antibiotic Development Pipeline." Legislators expressed support for the PASTEUR Act, which aims to encourage innovative antimicrobial drug development by committing $6 billion to purchase new drugs for treating drug-resistant bacteria and fungi. These medications will be available at no cost to Medicare, Medicaid recipients, and Veterans Affairs beneficiaries. At TAXIS Pharmaceuticals, we believe antibiotics are the foundation of modern medicine and support the PASTEUR Act. Gregory G Mario, MBA, CEO of TAXIS Pharmaceuticals, emphasizes these points: ✔ Ensuring ROI for pharma companies is crucial for AMR research funding. ✔ Congress must lead in encouraging pharma companies to address AMR. ✔ We need new antibiotics and therapeutics to combat antibiotic resistance. ✔Funding the PASTEUR Act requires collaboration and negotiation. ✔ Investing in antibiotics can save lives and ensure economic productivity.

Antibiotic resistance could cause over 39 million deaths by 2050, study says Researchers have long flagged antimicrobial resistance as a public health concern, but this study is the first to analyze such trends around the world and over time. The study looked at 520 million datasets, including hospital discharge records, insurance claims and death certificates from 204 countries. Using statistical modeling, the authors found that more than a million deaths related to antimicrobial resistance took place each year between 1990 and 2021. Since then, AMR deaths have only increased and will accelerate, according to the researchers. https://lnkd.in/gfCNpAUP Acurx Pharmaceuticals, Inc.

India has recently banned the use of the Aceclofenac 50mg + Paracetamol 125mg combination, marking a critical step in safeguarding public health. This decision stems from the potential risks associated with using this drug combination, particularly concerning liver toxicity. Why the Ban? Safety Concerns: Both Aceclofenac and Paracetamol are metabolized by the liver, increasing the risk of hepatotoxicity when combined, especially at higher doses. Ineffective Dosage: The lower dose of Paracetamol (125mg) in this combination may be subtherapeutic, potentially leading to reduced efficacy in pain relief and fever reduction, thus questioning its clinical usefulness. Global Practices: Several international regulatory bodies emphasize cautious use of NSAID-Paracetamol combinations, especially in vulnerable populations such as the elderly and those with liver conditions. #PharmaceuticalRegulations #DrugSafety #Pharmacovigilance #Healthcare #Pharmacology #PatientSafety #India
