An Unexpected Catastrophe in the World ’ s Largest Country: The Complete Story of U.S. Drug Shortages
The deficit is at a record level.
According to data from the American Society of Health System Pharmacists and the University of Utah Drug Information Service, organizations began tracking drug shortages for the first time in 2001. Steady since 2021 – now reaching a record high of 323 drugs in the first three months of 2024.
Paul Abramowitz, CEO of the American Society of Health System Pharmacists, wrote in a blog post on Thursday: “It ’ s been a long time to end drug shortages, ” and wrote:“ All drug classes are vulnerable to shortages, some of the most worrisome shortages include sterile injectable generic drugs, including cancer chemotherapy drugs and emergency drugs stored in hospital vans and procedural areas. It is dangerous for doctors and patients. ”
In addition to the 32 chemotherapy drugs that are deficient, the five categories of drugs with the greatest deficiency include central nervous system stimulants, antimicrobials, hormonal agents, and intravenous fluids. [1] The Drug Deficiency Database maintained by the American Society of Health System Pharmacists and the University of Utah is based on voluntary reports from practitioners, patients, and others that have been confirmed by manufacturers. The U.S. drug is in short supply, because it captures broader effects on service providers and patients.
The crisis has lasted a year and a half.
More than half of the treatment shortages have lasted for more than two years, according to an analysis by health consultancy IQVIA, and the average shortage affects at least half a million patients, many of them elderly, according to the US Office of Health and Human Services under the Assistant Secretary for Planning and Evaluation, which shared its analysis with Congress in May.
Growing demand can play a role in drug shortages, as with the recent shortage of weight-loss drugs, but often manufacturing and quality problems, such as supply chain gaps and downtime, are the root cause. And varied.
But the American Society of Health System Pharmacists has “serious concerns ” about parts of this proposal, especially financial sanctions imposed on hospitals that lack the resources to comply with the recommendations, Abramowitz wrote:“ We all know that managing shortages is not enough and is not a sustainable solution to the worsening crisis, and there is still a lot of work to be done at the federal level to fix the root causes of drug shortages. ”
Why Shortage Occurs
Shortages can be caused by high demand, as with the recent shortage of weight-loss drugs, but this is not usually the main problem.
The FDA also blames manufacturing and quality problems, supply chain gaps, and downtime, and Dr. Emily Tucker, a drug shortage expert and an assistant professor of industrial engineering at Clemson University, says that when there is an indication of shortages, large health systems often also proactively place large orders, adding to the system ’ s stress.
“I don ’ t blame anyone.
“When I talk to all the stakeholders – whether it ’ s wholesalers, manufacturers, or the government – everyone wants this problem to end, ” she said.
Lack of transparency
Dr. Julie Grallo, chief medical officer and executive vice president of the American Society of Clinical Oncology, told the House Committee earlier that the shortage puts providers in a terrible position: “The drug shortage crisis is forcing providers to make impossible choices, and it is also hindering the development of new drugs. Health drugs are purchased only on a price basis, and manufacturers do not have to disclose the source of their acquisition of the ingredients.
The shortage of this generic chemical drug came due to the closure of one factory in India that manufactures the active ingredient after a surprise FDA inspection found “significant quality issues, ” says Jarallo:“ We didn ’ t know, and there was no transparency regarding the company ’ s supply of the majority of active pharmaceutical ingredients to all manufacturers across the board.
Knowing this in advance, we could have responded much faster, ” Dr. Steven Schundlemeyer, director of the PRIME Institute of the University of Minnesota School of Pharmacy, which focuses on economic and management issues, told the committee that as with defense contractors in the United States, New Zealand requires manufacturers to disclose their suppliers, and that information is required.

Published: Oct. 19, 2022 at 5:07 PM CDT|Updated: 19 minutes ago

AMARILLO, Texas (KFDA) - The Food and Drug Administration has declared a nationwide Adderall shortage and the Panhandle is feeling the affects.

The FDA blames the shortage on manufacturing delays.

Health experts say a shortage in stimulant medications is actually not a rare occurrence.

“The amount of medication that is produced is limited and regulated by the government, so there have been other years where towards the end of the year in particular, we start to struggle with supply issues. In this case, however, while that does seem to be probably one of the contributing factors, the other issue we’re facing, at least what we’re hearing about it right now, is that the manufacturing delays have been an issue and some of that has been secondary to the labor shortages,” said Dr. Carolyn Lentsch-Parcells, pediatrician and assistant professor at Burnett School of Medicine at TCU.

Martin Tipton Pharmacy is being impacted by this shortage.

“We’re having to order from various manufacturers right now, not our normal manufactures just because we cannot get them from our normal ones,” said Mark Vogler, Martin Tipton Pharmacy.

Fortunately its patients have been able to get their needed medication, just a different brand.

Amarillo Pharmacy is also being impacted, saying the drug has been back ordered for the past two months.

The Amarillo Pharmaceutical Care Center at Texas Tech Physicians is also seeing a back order on one of the strengths of the drug.

“The drug company manufacturers short-acting and extended-release, for example. So, a pharmacist, in this situation, will work collaboratively with the patient’s provider to find an available strength and dosage to meet the patient’s needs until the original strength becomes available again,” said Amarillo Pharmaceutical Care Center at Texas Tech Physicians.

Dr. Lentsch-Parcells acknowledged this may be an uneasy time for those depending on Adderall, especially with the end of the semester and holidays approaching. She encourages you to reach out to your providers.

“There are various strategies that we will sometimes use to help our patients get the best care possible, while we are trying to ride out the shortage, so that might be changing dosage or using dosage forms that are available to replace their typical medication,” said Dr. Lentsch-Parcells

She emphasizes not to make any changes to your medications without speaking to your providers first.

Pharmacy chains, like CVS and Walgreens, both confirm they are seeing intermittent supply issues with the generic form of the drug.

The Ministry of Health and Welfare has proposed a short, medium and long-term strategy to deal with the current 5 coping mechanisms.
Journalist Yen Zhenzhen / Taipei Report
According to the Ministry of Health and Welfare, the shortage of drugs is not a single factor, but includes supply problems, manufacturing problems, clinical demand factors, uneven distribution of drugs, drug use habits and drug prices. In addition to dealing with the relatively high clinical demand items, it is properly allocated to all levels of medical institutions and pharmacies to fully meet the needs of clinical end-use drugs.
This is an advertisement, please continue reading.
In the face of the shortage of drugs, Wang said, the existing health insurance uses five major coping mechanisms, including 1, a single processing window, a dedicated person to help deal with the problem of drug purchase, and contact the Food and Drug Administration to put relevant information on the website of the NHI. (4) Drug price adjustment mechanism that does not meet the cost can be re-checked according to the way of raising the price of special drugs; (5) Alternative drugs can still declare the cost, if they are not irreplaceable, they can be replaced at the same price or lower than the original prescription drug price.
In addition, Wang pointed out that in the face of the international epidemic, the Russian-Ukrainian war, and labor shortage, drug shortage is a problem facing all countries. In order to strengthen the stable supply mechanism of drugs in China, the Ministry of Health and Welfare continues to actively respond to the short-term strategy to solve the problem of drug shortage. The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and the pharmaceutical industry have made every effort to actively arrange production lines, strive for early import, increase production / import quantity, and properly distribute to all levels of medical institutions and pharmacies to fully meet the demand for clinical end use drugs.
In addition, to properly handle the issue of drug price adjustment, the Central Health Insurance Administration of the Ministry of Health and Welfare intends to implement the "Universal Health Insurance Cost Distribution Target System (DET)" in April this year, which will adjust the number of drug prices and adjust the quota in a suitable manner, taking into account factors such as the epidemic, the Russian-Ukrainian war and inflation.
In terms of medium-term strategy, Wang said that he will establish a permanent drug shortage treatment center and optimize drug supply information transmission.
In order to speed up the handling of drug shortage incidents, we will adopt dedicated personnel and cross-departmental cooperation to develop drug shortage prevention policies to prevent drug shortage in advance, strengthen cross-departmental data integration and proactive monitoring to detect drug shortage incidents at an early stage, and intervene early through cross-departmental cooperation to stabilize drug supply.
At the same time, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) continues to disseminate drug supply and alternative drug information through various channels. In addition to posting on the “Drug Supply Information Platform ”, the FDA will notify medical institutions and pharmacies through VPN, and weekly letters to relevant medical associations and public associations to inform members. Management system.
In the long-term strategy section, it includes reviewing the current health insurance drug pricing policy and encouraging the production of domestically manufactured generic drugs.
Wang Bi-sheng pointed out that in the review of the current health insurance drug price policy, including the development of the price protection of indicative drugs, drug price review for the lack of drugs; start the review of drug expenditure target (DET), plan the establishment of a risk control mechanism, plan the national unified procurement trial plan; comprehensively review the health insurance drug price policy, give an appropriate price protection mechanism for necessary drugs, and also target the patent period. To encourage the production of domestic manufacturers to ensure that when there is a shortage of original pharmaceutical products, there are domestic famous drugs to respond.
Wang also stressed that the Food and Drug Administration has set up a "Drug Supply Information Platform" (https: / / dsms.fda.gov.tw /), reporting hotline (02) 27878249. If medical institutions and pharmacies have any shortage of drugs, they can go to the platform for enquiry or notification, and the department will deal with it immediately.

The FDA has set up a platform to provide information on drug shortages.

The Biden Administration recognized a shortage of 15 cancer drugs due to manufacturing and supply chain issues.

Title:

Content: NORTHAMPTON, Mass. (WWLP) – While this shortage of chemotherapy drugs stretches across the country, 22News looks at how the limited amounts of potentially life-saving drugs are impacting cancer care in our area.

It’s a problem, so acute it was recognized by the Biden Administration just last month. The White House noted there’s a shortage of 15 cancer drugs due to manufacturing and supply chain issues.

22News asked Pharmacy Director Michelle Kososki at Mass General Brigham Cooley Dickinson Hospital, to rate the shortage experienced locally on a scale, 5 being a critical shortage and 1 being no shortage at all, “right now I would probably say it is a four. We only have a very small supply of one particular drug.”

Pharmacy Director Michelle Kososki said drug shortages are not uncommon in the healthcare industry however, when faced with potentially life-saving drugs it can get complicated, “Anytime there is a shortage, there’s a risk of not being able to treat patients. Obviously, that is something we want to avoid and we work to the best of our ability with creative solutions to make sure that doesn’t happen.”

Nurse Manager Lisa Martensson at Mass General Care Center at Cooley Dickinson Hospital told 22News, “There’s always the ethical issues of who gets the drug that’s available. It’s supply and demand as you said and looking at what folks had for their disease which ones needed to be treated faster than others based on the aggressiveness of their disease. Those things played in but it was a really difficult decision to sit down and try and decide who would get the drug. We were never in a position where we had to deny anybody.”

Cancer patient Norman Uzdavinis of Whately said he was very concerned when he first heard of the shortage, “I had wondered where in the chemotherapy I would be at, would it have to be delayed for months or years if possible.”

Uzdavinis has not had his medical care compromised but feels for those who have, “I feel for them. I know what I’m going through and that everything is here so it’s perfect for me, but there’s a lot out there that are not as fortunate. I know that.”

“Healthcare providers here were able to mitigate the shortage by using a couple of different tactics. For example, they could switch up a patient’s medication regimen,” Nurse Manager Lisa Martensson said.

“What we did do was use drugs that were in the same classification but not necessarily that specific drug. There are also drug regimens where we could switch around the order to which we gave the drugs so if there was a drug that wasn’t available we are able to do one of the drugs that was available first and do that second drug second. That was able to work out so people didn’t do without and they were able to get what they needed,” Martensson continued.

According to the FDA, the shortage started when one of the major manufacturers of the chemo drug, Accord Healthcare, a company based in India, had to shut down after problems complying with good manufacturing practices were found during an inspection. Now, there is an increased demand from other companies that make these kinds of drugs.

22News contacted some other of the manufacturers of these drugs. Pfizer said they are increasing production by about 40 percent to meet this increased demand.

Shortage of antibiotics, cough syrup, and allergy medication
Published: Dec. 8, 2022 at 9:42 PM CST|Updated: 21 minutes ago

LUBBOCK, Texas (KCBD) - With more people getting sick this season, some pharmacies are having trouble keeping important medications in stock.

Soon, it may be hard to find simple things like antibiotics and cough medicine.

This can be a scary thought for a parent with a sick kid at home. Kelsie Hatchett is the mother of 4-year-old Briggs. Briggs has had strep at least three times this year. Kelsie says the thought of not being able to get what she needs in the future is scary.

“It seems like every day you’re hearing of another friend or family member who is sick and they’ve either got flu, they’ve got RSV, COVID, and respiratory illness,” Hatchett said. “So, it is a scary thing him getting sick and maybe he didn’t tolerate it as well that time.”

Jerad Thornhill is the owner of Thornhill’s Pharmacy’s in Shallowater and Lubbock. Antibiotics, cough medicines, and allergy medicines are flying off the shelves in his stores. He says on top of the high demand, all of these items are on back order.

“It’s been a real struggle to fulfill the majority of the prescriptions that are coming in for patients that are actively sick,” Thornhill said.

Trying to restock the shelves, Thornhill says he frequently checks with suppliers to see if anything is in stock. Then, checks with providers to find something comparable.

“Typically, we’re able to get someone taken care of that route,” Thornhill said. “The other option is a lot of times if something else is available we may have to order it and get it in for the next day.”

Every time you hear more sneezing and coughing around town, Thornhill says pharmacies experience shortages, but it’s never been like this.

“But for whatever reason this year it seems like it’s been, I don’t know if it’s still supply chain issues from COVID, or what it might be, but it’s this year in particular it seems to be quite a struggle,” Thornhill said.

Thornhill says there could be more than one problem affecting medicine making it to the stores.

“I think it’s a combination of supply chain and there are starting to be fewer and fewer manufacturers making some of these medications,” Thornhill said.

Kelsie is mom to Briggs, but she’s also a nurse. She says it’s important to make sure you absolutely need antibiotics before getting them so patients in the hospital have access.

“Now more than ever, it is important for us to take care of our bodies and really focus on letting them use those natural defenses to preserve those medications,” Hatchett said.

Hatchett says she understands wanting to treat children immediately; she shares that feeling as well, but she says it’s important to preserve that medication for everyone.

Thornhill says it’s not just cold and flu medications that are a problem currently. He says stores are low on ADHD medication and blood pressure medication as well.

Primary caretakers can check with suppliers for stock availability and find comparable medications.

“I think it’s a combination of supply chain and there are starting to be fewer and fewer manufacturers making some of these medications,” Thornhill said.

Kelsie is mom to Briggs, but she’s also a nurse. She says it’s important to make sure you absolutely need antibiotics before getting them so patients in the hospital have access.

“Now more than ever, it is important for us to take care of our bodies and really focus on letting them use those natural defenses to preserve those medications,” Hatchett said.

Hatchett says she understands wanting to treat children immediately; she shares that feeling as well, but she says it’s important to preserve that medication for everyone.

Thornhill says it’s not just cold and flu medications that are a problem currently. He says stores are low on ADHD medication and blood pressure medication as well.

Monitoring supply chains and manufacturer availability can help identify potential shortages.

Content: Lubbock pharmacies struggling to keep important medication on the shelves

Shortage of antibiotics, cough syrup, and allergy medication
Published: Dec. 8, 2022 at 9:42 PM CST|Updated: 21 minutes ago

LUBBOCK, Texas (KCBD) - With more people getting sick this season, some pharmacies are having trouble keeping important medications in stock.

Soon, it may be hard to find simple things like antibiotics and cough medicine.

This can be a scary thought for a parent with a sick kid at home. Kelsie Hatchett is the mother of 4-year-old Briggs. Briggs has had strep at least three times this year. Kelsie says the thought of not being able to get what she needs in the future is scary.

“It seems like every day you’re hearing of another friend or family member who is sick and they’ve either got flu, they’ve got RSV, COVID, and respiratory illness,” Hatchett said. “So, it is a scary thing him getting sick and maybe he didn’t tolerate it as well that time.”

Jerad Thornhill is the owner of Thornhill’s Pharmacy’s in Shallowater and Lubbock. Antibiotics, cough medicines, and allergy medicines are flying off the shelves in his stores. He says on top of the high demand, all of these items are on back order.

“It’s been a real struggle to fulfill the majority of the prescriptions that are coming in for patients that are actively sick,” Thornhill said.

Trying to restock the shelves, Thornhill says he frequently checks with suppliers to see if anything is in stock. Then, checks with providers to find something comparable.

“Typically, we’re able to get someone taken care of that route,” Thornhill said. “The other option is a lot of times if something else is available we may have to order it and get it in for the next day.”

Every time you hear more sneezing and coughing around town, Thornhill says pharmacies experience shortages, but it’s never been like this.

“But for whatever reason this year it seems like it’s been, I don’t know if it’s still supply chain issues from COVID, or what it might be, but it’s this year in particular it seems to be quite a struggle,” Thornhill said.

Thornhill says there could be more than one problem affecting medicine making it to the stores.

“I think it’s a combination of supply chain and there are starting to be fewer and fewer manufacturers making some of these medications,” Thornhill said.

Kelsie is mom to Briggs, but she’s also a nurse. She says it’s important to make sure you absolutely need antibiotics before getting them so patients in the hospital have access.

“Now more than ever, it is important for us to take care of our bodies and really focus on letting them use those natural defenses to preserve those medications,” Hatchett said.

Hatchett says she understands wanting to treat children immediately; she shares that feeling as well, but she says it’s important to preserve that medication for everyone.

Thornhill says it’s not just cold and flu medications that are a problem currently. He says stores are low on ADHD medication and blood pressure medication as well.

Primary caretakers can consult healthcare professionals to evaluate alternative medications during a shortage.

Update on Supply of Children's Acetaminophen and Ibuprofen Products

·2 min read

OTTAWA, ON, Oct. 7, 2022 /CNW/ - We share the concerns of many parents and caregivers about their inability to find pediatric/infant and children's acetaminophen and ibuprofen products, and we understand the worries associated with this. Since the start of the shortage, we have been working to take actions to ensure that parents and caregivers have what they need to take care of children.

Over the summer months, there was unprecedented demand for these products and supply had not kept pace. We are working hand-in-hand with manufacturers and suppliers to keep increasing supply to meet consumer demand and to ensure that parents and caregivers have access to these important products.

Over the last few months, Health Canada has been in direct contact with manufacturers of pediatric/infant and children's acetaminophen and ibuprofen products, provinces and territories, children's hospitals, the Canadian Pharmacists Association, the Canadian Pediatric Society, and the Food, Health & Consumer Products of Canada to assess needs and avenues to expand supply, and to identify and implement shortage mitigation measures.

Minister Duclos has also personally spoken to several manufacturers, including Johnson & Johnson, Haleon and PharmaScience, to reiterate the urgent need to collaborate to find immediate solutions to this shortage so that parents and caregivers can have the medicines they need to take care of their children.

As manufacturers continue to ramp up production, with some producing products at record levels, additional supply has been made available. Additionally, companies who supply Canada have been provided pathways to import foreign products, and we are reaching out to additional suppliers. While supply is increasing, we expect that products will continue to be intermittently available in retail locations. As we work to get these medicines to all who need it, children's hospitals remain a particular area of focus for replenishment.

Health Canada has issued a Public Advisory offering parents and caregivers advice and important safety information. You may also speak to a healthcare professional or pharmacist about your infant or child's needs as they can help you identify what products are effective and needed, as well as offer options for safe alternative.

As the health of infants and children remains our top priority, all options to solve this shortage are on the table. Health Canada will provide regular updates on the supply situation of children's acetaminophen and ibuprofen products in Canada.

Healthcare professionals can identify effective products for infants and children, meeting growing demand.

Foreign products can be imported to supplement supply, prioritizing children's hospitals.

The FDA permits importing chemotherapy drugs from overseas due to critical shortages.

Content: As drug shortage list grows, many hospitals face tough decisions on rationing care

More than half of hospital pharmacists are reporting a critical shortage of chemotherapy drugs and nearly all are reporting overall medicine supply gaps as prescription drug shortages near an all time high, according to a new survey.

Hospital pharmacists said drug shortages have forced 1 in 3 health systems to delay, cancel or ration care or switch to alternate drugs to continue to treat patients. And 99% are reporting some drug supply shortages, an American Society of Health-System Pharmacists survey of more than 1,000 pharmacists released Thursday found.

The organization reported shortages of 309 drugs, near the all-time high of 320 shortages in 2014. The scarcity of key drugs is prompting hospitals to find or substitute drugs and change treatment plans as needed.

“In some cases, there are no alternatives to the affected drugs, which puts patients at risk," ASHP Chief Executive Officer Paul W. Abramowitz said in a statement. "This issue requires quick action from Congress to address the underlying causes of shortages and ensure patients have the medications they need.”

Cancer drug shortages

In June, the Food and Drug Administration said it will temporarily allow overseas drug manufacturers to import some chemotherapy drugs.

The FDA allowed Qilu Pharmaceutical, a drug manufacturer in China, to import the injectable chemotherapy drug cisplatin in 50-milligram vials. Toronto pharmaceutical company Apotex Corp. will distribute the medication in the United States.

More than a dozen cancer drugs have been in shortage in recent months, including cisplatin and carboplatin, used to treat lung, breast, prostate and gynecologic cancers. The National Cancer Institute said cisplatin and similar drugs are prescribed for 10% to 20% of all cancer patients.

In June, the National Comprehensive Cancer Network released a survey of 27 academic cancer centers that found 93% reported shortages of carboplatin and 70% faced shortages of cisplatin.

When cancer hospitals face such shortages, they attempt to make sure there's enough medication for patients to finish the course of treatment, said Mike Ganio, ASHP's senior director of pharmacy practice and quality.

Cancer hospitals facing such shortages might change medications for new patients starting on chemotherapy, said Ganio, a former pharmacy manager at an academic cancer center.

"You try to keep that patient on the same regimen as much as you can, unless they're failing it for some reason, and then you would switch," Ganio said.

Steroids, hormonal drugs also in short supply

More than 1 in 5 hospital pharmacists also reported shortages for steroids, hormonal drugs and oral liquids such as lidocaine, ibuprofen and amoxicillin.

A smaller number of pharmacists said heart medications, emergency prefilled syringes and drugs used for intensive care unit patients were in short supply. Others reported shortages of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder medicines, antimicrobial drugs and injectable opioids.

In all, about two-thirds of pharmacists said the shortages were "moderately impactful," which means they are managing shortages but patients are affected.

Pharmacists are managing the shortages by offering therapeutic alternatives, buying different vial sizes or concentrations and rationing medicines.

Pharmacists offer alternatives and hospitals adjust purchases to cope with medication shortages.

Effective communication between caretakers, healthcare providers, and pharmacists is crucial during a medication shortage.

Future cities: play a role in the private sector under the epidemic Primary medical network for hospital pressure reduction
[Ming Pao News] In the past, the term "primary health care" may be very boring, and the "primary" among them may also be misinterpreted as describing social class, but now it is easy to understand for example.
When the hospital situation is on the verge of collapse, if mild or even uninfected people can take good care of themselves, the medical system will not be dragged down, and the public will not have to fall into a state of panic.
“If a person has a sense of control over their health and knows that they can make decisions about their health, they don ’ t have to wait passively for the doctor to take care of them every time. ” Primary care refers to not going to the clinic and the first level of the hospital, so that everyone can access community resources, prevent diseases, and manage health.
As a result of the epidemic, various institutions have been closely woven into the network to prove that primary medical care “does work ”, which is also a part of the entire medical system now and in the future.
Community Pharmacy, Neighbourhood Consultation, Interviews with Doctors
In the first episode of "City of the Future", Dr Luk Chi-chung, a former cluster director, discussed the hospital cluster and the public-private hospital partnership. He mentioned that one of the aims of the cluster was to strengthen the link between hospitals and the community. Grassroots doctors can help take care of patients with mild symptoms without forcing them to go to public hospitals, "he says, adding that" if primary care is not done well, the many anti-epidemic centers (dealing with the epidemic) will not do well. "
When it comes to reliable and clear sources, I believe that many people have forwarded information maps and flow charts of “healthcare providers ”. This non-profit organization has been promoting the development of basic medical care. Fan Ning, the founder of a public hospital doctor, said:" This time, people with fever, sore throat, headache, are common symptoms of infection virus, but different classes are thrown out of the sun, good confusion, such as suddenly found that there is no medicine in the house, and many people do not know about Chinese medicine, we also have a lot of information, guidance. "
This reflects that many community policies are not developed in a participatory or empowering way, and that everyone becomes a receiver without learning. ”
There is a “Community Pharmacy ” near Kwai Hing MTR Station. Janet, a lecturer in the Department of Pharmacy and Pharmacy at the University of Hong Kong, is also a pharmacist at the Community Pharmacy. When a person walks in to buy a medicine, they can consult health advice. For example, some patients will regularly visit a public hospital. A" golden opportunity "to see a doctor once in a few months.
"We want to sell the concept that people have the right to have these services in their own community, but in foreign countries, that's basically the case. Why do people in Hong Kong feel that they are prepared to pay to enter the pharmacy?
Hong Kong people can have a place in the community to understand their own health, not to replace doctors, but to connect to doctors. "The organization was originally intended to serve low-income families, ethnic minorities, working people in the region and other different groups," but in Hong Kong, there are fewer such non-profit-making pharmacies, so we are open to the public in Hong Kong. "
Check out your home medicine online.
She said that in the epidemic to learn that professional medical staff also have their own blind spots, "I think the profound is that when paracetamol suddenly become a hot commodity, everyone knows that it is not necessary to buy a certain brand, as long as there is this ingredient can be, we know that this medicine is a lot of hospitals to the elderly, and many drugs have been criticized before the epidemic. For a pair of ingredients, and in my concept, check to scare the house has no medicine to use, is not enough medicine will do the thing, how to expect a good response to the post, many people reprint, at that moment have learned that some of the original return to the basic steps should also be mentioned."
Emily Liao, Director of Community Health Services for Caregivers, said that she will continue to understand the needs of the community from pharmacies and various channels, and then adjust the way and strategy of disseminating information. “We need to use the right information to speak in easy-to-understand and easy-to-follow language, so that stakeholders in the community, including different places such as workplaces and social welfare services, can share different information with employees and audiences.
They use simple tools such as Google drive to classify anti-epidemic data such as infographics according to needs, such as what to do with the diagnosis, and what to do with the family diagnosis, so that different institutions can easily obtain, used to answer queries, "We will also record in addition to text and images, because colleagues who do ethnic minority services think that the information will be received and transmitted better by reading the recorded information."
She stressed that this is a two-way channel, “listening to (demand) and responding all the way, hoping to make them feel that someone is walking the same path as you, so that everyone can bring out their own ability to deal with the problem. ”
Health and Wellness Centre Connected to District Medical Services
Fanning also mentioned a small experiment between SVhk (Hong Kong Social Venture Fund), an organization that promotes social innovation, and the Sham Shui Po District Health Centre, which allowed parents to help each other to take care of themselves, and prevented a group of children from rushing into the hospital to seek medical treatment.
Harmony Lee, the head of SVhk – Community Impact, said that the experiment was a “diagnosis and mutual help circle ”, and the method was very simple. She invited a group of mothers to take care of their children to join a WhatsApp group, sharing problems and countermeasures with each other, and encountered a more severe situation. Call your mom individually and suggest she needs to go to the hospital, how to follow up, what steps to take. ”
However, the mother later because there are other children to take care of at home, did not choose to be sent to the hospital immediately, "we have been communicating, she constantly for the child to cool down, let him drink water, we teach her what needs to be checked, such as every half hour body temperature, blood oxygen to maintain at least 97, 98, the situation of the children after a night is controlled."
Harmony said that these families come from SVhk ’ s community sharing club in Sham Shui Po. They regularly follow up the situation of 350 families with questionnaires, including economic, marital and parent-child relationship, to provide assistance. This time, due to the early investigation of the epidemic, 1 / 5 of the more than 100 questionnaires collected, showed signs or rapid diagnosis. Therefore, I have come up with this method to gather these parents and put forward suggestions to the health centres for co-operation.
In fact, in recent years, the government has invested resources to vigorously develop primary health care. It plans to set up health care centers in each of the 18 districts, each with about $300 million of capital to tender for operation, for a period of three years, and renew the contract according to performance.
There are currently two Kwai Tsing Centre run by the Kwai Tsing Safe Community and Healthy City Association and Sham Shui Po Centre run by the St. James' Settlement. The former commenced operation in September 2019 and the latter in June last year, while the other four, Wong Tai Sin, Tuen Mun, Southern District and Yuen Long, will be operational by the end of this year. A "satellite organization", but not affiliated with a health center, but as a cooperative service point.
The Centre ’ s Chief Nursing Coordinator, Harriet Chung, explained that the Sham Shui Po Centre is a main centre in Shek Kip Mei Estate, with three additional centres at Mei Foo, Fuk Wing Street and the upcoming opening of Sham Shui Po East.
Then spread out to some satellite organizations, looking for institutions serving in the region, such as churches and community organizations, to cooperate, “matching with our philosophy, they will borrow their service points to organize health activities or projects on a regular basis. ”
Provide professional advice to the community innovation organization "Mutual Help Circle"
Harriet said that the establishment of the center will have registered nurses, social workers, physiotherapists, occupational therapists, dietitians, and pharmacists. Instead of signing a contract with the satellite organization to conduct many activities, it will be "weaving a network", which can be promoted by these partners or the center with new ideas.
This time, we also saw them complementing each other. SVhk proposed the plan as a community innovation organization, but it still lacks the strength of the health care professional, and the health center has a role to play.
Another network of health centers is to link local medical services. Harriet said that before they noticed the need for vaccination in the community, they contacted the local private doctors to set up some quotas, so that the center can refer the public to make an appointment for injection, and even some doctors are willing to open Sunday services.
The network of the centre is also linked to hospitals. "Before the outbreak of this epidemic, we have been referring patients to Caritas Medical Centre and Princess Margaret Hospital in the district. They will refer patients for rehabilitation, including stroke and hip fracture, to use our rehabilitation services, such as physiotherapists. Sign the agreement as required by the Food and Health Department.
For example, patients with diabetes and high blood pressure, if we have made an assessment, referred to the network of Western doctors for diagnosis, blood drawing, etc., see the doctor is funded by the government, each neighborhood referred by us will have 250 yuan clinic fee subsidy, that is, if the doctor is charged 250 yuan, the neighborhood will be free, and the neighborhood will pay 50 yuan for 300 yuan. "
However, she admitted that she needed to explain the service concept to the doctor in the early stage, "We signed the doctor with him, some are not very clear, will charge the neighborhood 300 yuan, so the game will be difficult to play, because you received the government 250 yuan, that is, a total of more than 500 yuan."
We will say that we want to leave the neighborhood to see you in the community. At present, many service providers in our network charge 0 yuan. ”
The "Primary Care" Network Must Be Involved
Health care providers are also strategic partners of Sham Shui Po Health Centre. Harriet believes that the principle of cooperation with various organizations is to use the established context and resources of the community, so that the organization does not think that the center is “grabbing ” the service target, and try not to overlap the service, but refers the center members to use the existing resources, and“ win-win ” can weave the network well.
Based on the experience of the three organizations in dealing with the fifth wave of the epidemic, they all mentioned that they should respond quickly and attentively, understand the real needs of the community, and respond in a timely manner.
To prevent patients from rushing to the hospital, sometimes it may not be related to medical services. Harmony mentioned that the WhatsApp mutual help group was started because she knew that the patient or caregiver needed emotional support at the moment, while pharmacist Janet felt that Hong Kong people were growing up from a critical situation.
She said that this wave of epidemic is like a preview of our future, "in the future, the aging of the population is another bomb, when everyone feels that the current medical system is becoming more and more satisfied with me, but instead of thinking, everyone has a part in the medical system, not that the public is not doing enough, but if everyone has the ability and confidence to do more for their health, everyone can help the medical system share."
Looking forward to sharing health data with link workers
In addition to the confidence that the public can continue to learn from this epidemic and increase their awareness of community resources, is there any difficulty in connecting with the hospital network?
Fan Ning admitted, "the public, the Hospital Authority, the Department of Health many staff, do not know what the primary care do, the HA staff angle is often how to deal with acute and serious diseases, but the primary care is mainly control, stability of health problems, everyone's angle is different, there will be coordination and error in cooperation". Harriet, based on the experience of operating the Sham Shui Po Health Center, said that in the epidemic. On how to transfer (offload) some hospital services to primary care, she also understands that "two years of the epidemic hospitals are also very tired, there is a shortage of staff, but we need to look more broadly, and we have to deal with the people who have not happened, and there will be no more patients in five or 10 years."
She believes that if a patient goes to the hospital, “if it is found that the diabetes mellitus or blood pressure is high, the current structure will not arrange for him to go out for a follow-up appointment, but in fact, it can be referred to us to improve the situation, which can delay the emergence of the disease so early ”. Emily, a healthcare practitioner, suggested that the HA ’ s data on social health can be shared more with primary care partners. Or you will see link workers in the outpatient waiting area, link to medical, community resources". On the NHS website, you can find a "social prescribing link worker" for mental health services, describing it as a job that requires careful listening to work, helping people with emotional problems or feeling isolated to find community services, stating that "there are no specific entry requirements for this position. Because your life experience, your personality, your values are usually more important than your qualifications. ”

Health Decoding ｜ Treatment of Asthma Relies on Medical Co-creation and Cooperation
Share:
In the past, when a treatment plan was formulated, it was common for medical staff to make corresponding arrangements to the patient.
In recent years, the trend has been to discuss and cooperate with patients and their families on treatment policies. We hope to enhance the participation of patients and caregivers as much as possible, so as to improve the effectiveness of disease control.
Asthma treatment that focuses on home control is no exception. Respiratory nurses expect patients and caregivers to strengthen communication and cooperation with medical staff to properly control the condition in all aspects.
Understanding Asthma and Disease Coexist
Hong Kong Institute of Respiratory Nursing and Respiratory Nurse Ms. Chan Chiu-ho said that asthma patients need to accept that they have to coexist with the disease in the future. If an acute asthma attack is not handled properly, breathing difficulties caused by tracheostomy can be fatal and should not be taken lightly, "he said.
In addition to guiding the use of drugs, Chen Qiuhao admitted that communication with patients and caregivers is also very important for each follow-up visit. "For example, some patients feel uncomfortable after taking drugs and stop using them on their own, but in fact, as long as the nurse is informed, the nurse will help assess the problem, and sometimes it may involve drug skills.
Therefore, she stressed that communication and cooperation between doctors and patients is particularly important, and if the drug is stopped due to misunderstanding, it will only be known if the condition worsens and the patient is admitted to the hospital, and the patient may suffer unnecessary complications and treatment.
Close communication between doctors and patients and timely adjustment of medication and lifestyle habits
In addition to following the instructions for medication and follow-up on time, the adjustment of asthma patients and caregivers in their daily lives is also an integral part of the treatment plan.
“In order to avoid asthma attacks, it is necessary to quit smoking, not only the patient himself, but also the family members living with them, so as not to exacerbate the impact on the patient ’ s condition, ” Chan added. Dust mites are also common allergens in the environment. It is also beneficial for patient control.
In addition to a healthy and balanced diet, asthma patients need to pay special attention to avoid eating allergenic foods. Chen said that most patients have allergies, which may be related to food allergies. If necessary, doctors will refer patients to undergo allergy tests. If found, patients and caregivers should only remember to avoid related foods.
In addition, patients should also pay attention to moderate exercise and adequate sleep. Chen Qiu admitted that many patients or their caregivers mistakenly believe that patients are not suitable for any exercise, but in fact, as long as the health care staff to discuss the appropriate types of exercise, and to prepare for exercise (such as some patients or need to take drugs before exercise to prevent onset), in general, slow running, swimming and other non-violent sports. The patient ’ s heart and lungs are healthy, and the assistant wants to control the condition.
Dr. Chan stressed the importance of maintaining a happy mood for the control of the disease. Do not "bury or bury" if you have any discomfort or do not understand. You may wish to consult with a respiratory nurse and a doctor to improve the condition. Family members and carers can also learn more about the patient 's condition.

Content: Ireland has been suffering a paracetamol shortage as cases of Covid-19 and the winter flu in the country soared over the festive and new year period.

The revelation was made by Health Minister Stephen Donnelly after his department received notification of a supply issue from the Health Products Regulatory Authority.

It is understood the shortage impacted some prescription paracetamol products.

Two suppliers affected have stated that resupply will be sometime in January 2023.

However, there are other prescription paracetamol suppliers with some stock available on the shelves.

Paracetamol is one of the medicines used most often in Ireland and especially for the flu, aches and pain.

But Mr Donnelly pointed out that there are multiple forms of the drug with different strengths and brands available from various sources.

He said: "In the event that there are some supply issues for individual medicines, alternative options such as alternative strengths and brands, generic medicines will usually be available to ensure continuity of treatment.

"In some cases where the medicine initially prescribed for the patient is unavailable, patients may be switched to a suitable therapeutic alternative following appropriate consultation with a healthcare professional."

The Health Minister said medicine shortages have been increasingly prevalent worldwide over the past decade. The causes of such shortages are multifactorial including shortage of raw materials, manufacturing difficulties and industry consolidations.

He stated: "Medicine shortages can originate at any point in the supply chain. They can involve and impact many stakeholders in different ways as the supply models and clinical use of therapies can vary across national health systems.

"Management of medicines shortages necessitates a multi-faceted, multi stakeholder response to ensure patient safety , continuity of care and protection of public health.

"Patients or their carers who have any concerns in relation to temporary alternative products provided because of medical shortages are advised to speak with their pharmacist or other healthcare [professionals] involved in their care."

Mr Donnelly was responding to a number of written Dail questions on the shortage of medicines.

The Minister of Public Health in the caretaker government, Dr. Firas Al-Abyad, presented the health feasibility of the adoption of digital systems in the Ministry of Public Health and the future steps to develop digital transformation in the field of health, during a press conference at the Higher Institute of Business – ESA, in the presence of the Director of the Institute Maxence Dieu.

He also addressed the objectives of the "Forum on Digital Transformation in the Health Sector in Lebanon - A Vision for the Future" held at the Institute, which included six working sessions focused on the importance of digitization in the health sector to enhance the quality and inclusiveness of services on the one hand and fight waste and corruption on the other.
He explained that the forum aimed to bring together experts in technology with the concerned parties in the health sector, including doctors, nurses and activists in patient associations, as well as representatives of international donors, in order to develop a unified vision and identify all possible ways to use technology in the health sector to help move forward in the digital transformation initiated by the Ministry of Public Health and find the required solutions to the problems affecting the sector. National Health Service – Vision 2030. ”
"The use of technology is not new to the health sector," he said, recalling the vaccine platform during the coronavirus pandemic.
He pointed out that "the digital programs and systems that the Ministry of Public Health has begun to adopt, have contributed to improving its performance and achieving positive, tangible and reliable results to achieve more, including the following:
- MediTrack allowed to control the movement of the drug and reduce the large volume of waste and corruption that dominated the drug market.
Digital tracking has also ensured transparency because the computer eliminates the possibility of intermediation and the preference of one patient over another.
Patients have experienced the ease of access to their medication when they have a unified health number and an electronic file on Aman software, which is a major development where medicines are sufficient for nearly 90 percent of patients, up from 20 percent previously, or 30 percent at best.
- Implementation of the LMS Logistic Management System in the Central Drug Depot in Karantina, which allows accurate identification of the movement of drug distribution in the warehouse.
This application, for example, made it possible to confirm the news that circulated months ago about the disappearance of medicines from the warehouse, and at the click of a button the Ministry confirmed the correct destination for the use of these medicines based on data and figures.
- The digital transformation provides accurate statistics and information about medicine and the real needs of patients, and the Ministry will post this information on its website as soon as it is completed.
- Enabling the patient, i.e. helping him to access his rights, such as the MedLeb application, which introduces the patient to the price of the drug.
This application allowed the identification of violating pharmacies and issuing warnings or closing them, as the ministry recently announced the closure of a violating pharmacy.
- The Ministry will start a new project next summer, represented by the digital health card for about 170,000 (one hundred and seventy thousand) patients in primary care centers, which will cost the beginning to include these cards later on all the Lebanese people and be part of the comprehensive health coverage that needs in the initial form and as it is known to secure funding.
- The digital transformation will allow the Ministry of Public Health at a later stage to provide remote services, which will help to reach patients in different regions of Lebanon and provide the expertise of consultants in both diagnosis and treatment. ”
In response to the statement that Lebanon needs quick solutions to address the crises of medicine and hospitalization instead of developing strategies that will show results only in the medium and long term, Al-Abyad said: “The pursuit of quick solutions at the same time as the development of strategies, noting that the drug tracking program has clearly shown that good planning and the use of modern digital tools ensure market control, good use of resources and access to those who need it. ”
He stressed that "the current priorities of the Ministry of Public Health are medicine, hospitalization and epidemic," pointing out that "the ministry is working on digital programs that provide solutions to these three issues."
He thanked the Higher Institute of Business for hosting the forum, and international organizations, especially the World Health Organization (WHO) and UNICEF, as well as the World Bank, the European Union and the French Development Agency (AFD), for providing essential support to the digital transformation programs in the Ministry of Health since its inception years ago.
He praised "the media that achieve effective and good communication with the various components of the Lebanese people," stressing that "the situation is very difficult and the digital transformation requires great efforts and time, but the efforts being exerted will gradually lead to the required service."
He concluded: “The journey of a thousand miles begins with one step, and what we have started is a set of basic steps and today ’ s forum represents a big step in the journey of healthy digital transformation. ”

Content: Ireland has been suffering a paracetamol shortage as cases of Covid-19 and the winter flu in the country soared over the festive and new year period.

The revelation was made by Health Minister Stephen Donnelly after his department received notification of a supply issue from the Health Products Regulatory Authority.

It is understood the shortage impacted some prescription paracetamol products.

Read More:Irish people complain of ‘worst ever’ winter bug sweeping country that feels like Covid but isn’t

Two suppliers affected have stated that resupply will be sometime in January 2023.

However, there are other prescription paracetamol suppliers with some stock available on the shelves.

Paracetamol is one of the medicines used most often in Ireland and especially for the flu, aches and pain.

But Mr Donnelly pointed out that there are multiple forms of the drug with different strengths and brands available from various sources.

He said: "In the event that there are some supply issues for individual medicines, alternative options such as alternative strengths and brands, generic medicines will usually be available to ensure continuity of treatment.

"In some cases where the medicine initially prescribed for the patient is unavailable, patients may be switched to a suitable therapeutic alternative following appropriate consultation with a healthcare professional."

The Health Minister said medicine shortages have been increasingly prevalent worldwide over the past decade. The causes of such shortages are multifactorial including shortage of raw materials, manufacturing difficulties and industry consolidations.

He stated: "Medicine shortages can originate at any point in the supply chain. They can involve and impact many stakeholders in different ways as the supply models and clinical use of therapies can vary across national health systems.

"Management of medicines shortages necessitates a multi-faceted, multi stakeholder response to ensure patient safety , continuity of care and protection of public health.

"Patients or their carers who have any concerns in relation to temporary alternative products provided because of medical shortages are advised to speak with their pharmacist or other healthcare [professionals] involved in their care."

Mr Donnelly was responding to a number of written Dail questions on the shortage of medicines.

Millions of Americans Can't Afford Their Prescription Drugs. Now What?

As the cost of medication soars, patients are turning to online coupons and financial assistance programs.

When 27-year-old Savanna Braun changed jobs last December, she had more to worry about than meeting co-workers and adapting to an unfamiliar schedule. A new job meant different insurance, and that meant jumping through hoops to get approval for her lifesaving prescription drugs.

With insurance coverage, which costs her around $5,100 a year, she pays an extra $960 annually for medications to treat her severe asthma, psoriatic arthritis and depression. Those pharmacy benefits soften the bill -- without insurance, she'd be looking at a staggering $200,000 a year.

As basic expenses increase, soaring prescription drug prices are eating up an even larger portion of household income. Over just the last year, prescription drug prices rose at an average rate of 31.6%, with some increasing up to 500%, according to a recent Department of Health and Human Services government report. Americans, who pay the highest prices in the world for prescription drugs -- two to three times more than people in other countries -- are finding any way possible to get around the entangled pharmaceutical industry.

Exorbitant prescription drug costs disproportionately hurt lower-income households, particularly the uninsured and underinsured populations (9% and 23% of US adults, respectively). Black, Latino and Native American people are less likely to have health insurance and more likely to face cost-related barriers to treatment, according to the Commonwealth Fund, a nonprofit focused on health policy reform. Without insurance, patients are forced to sacrifice their medications for more immediate needs, such as housing or food. Those who are reliant on prescription drugs to manage their chronic conditions can often accumulate medical debt

Almost a third of the US adult population, including those with insurance, can't take their prescriptions because they can't afford it, according to Frederick Isasi, executive director of the health advocacy group Families USA. The crisis has damaging consequences: Nearly three in 10 adults end up skipping doses, cutting pills in half or not filling their prescription, resulting in long-term health complications. Others get desperate -- as many as 8% of American households have purchased medications outside the US to get a lower price.

But there are far less risky workarounds. Some patients score significant cost savings by opting for generic medications, requesting alternative medication from their providers or even switching pharmacies. Others who are financially vulnerable turn to advocacy organizations, sliding-scale health centers or patient assistance plans. And many turn to third-party sites like GoodRx, NeedyMeds.org or, more recently, Mark Cuban's Cost Plus Drug Company to cost-compare medication prices, get coupons and save at the register.

When drug costs stand in the way of patient health

Braun had her first run-in with high-cost medicine when she was 3 years old. After she had a life-threatening asthma attack, her doctors said the best treatment was an adult-only prescription. The insurance company didn't want to cover a drug that wasn't approved for her age group by the Food and Drug Administration, though it eventually gave in.

Controlling her asthma soon became a whirlwind of nebulizers, inhalers and steroids, all of which cut into her family's budget. Every time her father changed jobs, she had to wait months until his benefits kicked in, and the bureaucratic obstacles to get her meds began again.

With the 2010 enactment of the Affordable Care Act, Braun's family could no longer be denied insurance coverage or charged more for her preexisting condition. But a few years later, after Braun was diagnosed with psoriatic arthritis, she struggled with trying to find the right medication, and most of them took months for insurance to authorize. Her list of tested drugs read like a pharmaceutical representative's brochure: Methotrexate, Humera, Solara, Remicade and Xeljanz. When her asthma worsened, her pulmonologist told her to take Xolair, but insurance initially denied her, saying she needed to have less lung function to warrant its use.

When Braun turned 26, she got kicked off her parents' insurance plan and lost coverage for all her medications. For months, she was stuck relying on her doctor's samples to keep her symptoms at bay. Not having access to her specialized drugs and treatment set her back. "I was losing lung function rapidly," Braun said, noting that she now has permanent lung damage from not being able to control her asthma. Braun was constantly worried about ending up on a ventilator in the hospital without insurance coverage. "I was pretty scared for my life," she said.

When insurance obstacles stand in the way of patient health

Julie Whitehead, 52, who has bipolar disorder, tackles similar insurance hurdles, which take a huge toll on her mental health. In 2015, Whitehead's doctor prescribed a new mood stabilizer, Abilify, but her insurance company balked. At the time, Abilify didn't have a generic option, so it would cost her $1,000 a month out of pocket.

Because Whitehead couldn't afford the hefty price tag, she was prescribed a different medication, Geodon, for her bipolar disorder. But after six months taking it, she became suicidal. "I had been in a good place for five years, and then I was hospitalized," Whitehead said.

In 2020, Whitehead's doctor wanted to change her medication to Latuda, which required prior authorization. Prior authorization requires a lot of time-consuming paperwork, and if doctors agree to do it, they often charge for it. Whitehead had to wait three months for a green light, and in the meantime she struggled to pay out of pocket for Latuda, which cost more than her monthly Social Security disability check. Luckily, Whitehead's husband had enough income to help her cover the cost. But the process made her angry -- she was trying to "forestall a medical catastrophe," and wasn't allowed to because of an insurance denial.

Today, Whitehead pays around $200 a month for her 11 prescriptions under her husband's insurance plan. "It's one thing to be without insurance and have to depend on Medicaid and Medicare Part D," she said. "But to pay a king's ransom for insurance and for it to still not cover what you need, that's in some ways worse."

A David versus Goliath fight

As many as 28% of adults end up having to take a prescription that isn't covered by their health insurance, and 13% have had a prescription medication dropped by their health insurance plan, according to a survey conducted by GoodRx Health. In 2016, Americans spent some $66 billion total for out-of-pocket retail prescription drugs.

Additionally, many pharmaceutical companies place the drugs that treat chronic diseases such as diabetes, asthma, HIV/AIDS and hepatitis B and C in higher specialty tiers with greater out-of-pocket prices. People of color are disproportionately impacted by these types of serious illnesses and health conditions, making such drug-tier policies openly discriminatory, according to the National Academy for Health Policy.

Disputing a denial from an insurance company for an important medication takes time and effort -- it also requires a certain amount of financial literacy and tools, which aren't generally accessible to historically disadvantaged groups. Some patients never try negotiating with or appealing to their providers or insurance companies on costs.

Vulnerable consumers going up against the pharmaceutical behemoth is a David and Goliath fight, according to Isasi. From 2000 to 2018, 35 pharmaceutical companies reported a combined $11.5 trillion in revenue. With so much in profits at stake, the pharmaceutical industry focuses its lobbying efforts on keeping drug prices high and reducing its competition by gaining monopoly power through patents.

While pharmaceutical companies claim that high drug prices are needed to cover research and development, a recent study conducted by an international team of researchers showed no association between pricing policies and R&D investments. Drug companies set the price, regardless of how much it costs to make the medication. "It's usually a half a penny, or one cent, to actually produce that drug," Isasi said. "Why is it that a drug company can charge whatever they can get away with?"

Alternative paths to obtaining affordable medicine

The debate over prescription drug prices has for decades taken center stage in congressional hearings and among lawmakers. The recently passed Inflation Reduction Act has an extremely limited provision allowing Medicare to annually negotiate prices with pharmaceutical companies on 10 pricey medications, starting in 2026. It also caps out-of-pocket prescription drug costs at $2,000 for those with Medicare Part D drug plans, but not until 2025.

A multitude of organizations focus exclusively on pushing common-sense reforms and achieving policy changes to lower the price of prescription drugs. But until there's a monumental overhaul to the global pharmaceutical industry, there are a few government-based solutions that help medically underserved populations obtain lifesaving medication. For example, Federally Qualified Health Centers offer a sliding scale for certain drugs, and the federal 340B program allows certain hospitals and clinics to buy discounted outpatient prescription drugs for low-income and uninsured patients.

The next step, according to Isasi, is for patients to check if they qualify for Medicaid, through the website. Though eligibility income levels are very low, the expansion of Medicaid in 39 states has helped many financially vulnerable households cover the cost of prescription drugs. And Medicare patients age 65 or older can try applying for the Extra Help federal program to get their medicine at a very reduced, income-adjusted rate.

Patients can also try looking for coupons, rebates or price comparisons online. GoodRx offers discount coupons for all FDA-approved medications, both brand name and generic, regardless of insurance status. If there isn't a GoodRx coupon available, the site will offer a coupon from the manufacturer to bring down the price, or show options for similar medications that may be more affordable, according to co-founder Doug Hirsch. Patients can present a GoodRx coupon to the pharmacy immediately, and the price is better than an insurance copay more than half the time, said Hirsch.

The Cost Plus Drug Company, launched by the billionaire Mark Cuban, is a new online pharmacy that slashes prices on generic prescription drugs. A recent study in the Annals of Internal Medicine, co-authored by Harvard Medical School fellow Dr. Hussain Lalani, found that Medicare could've saved $3.6 billion in 2020 if it purchased 77 prescription medications through Mark Cuban's company. Uninsured and underinsured patients get the biggest benefit from using Cost Plus, Lalani said. But patients should look elsewhere if they need a brand name or clinician-administered drug, or if they need their generic medication immediately, since generics from Cost Plus come through the mail.

Then there's NeedyMeds.org, an organization started in 1997 by Dr. Richard J. Sagal, which assembles roughly 40,000 patient-assistance programs for people who can't afford medication and health care costs. It's a free, nonaffiliated information outlet, and visitors to the site are anonymous. Sagall said it receives up to 15,000 daily users looking for low-cost clinics, prescription savings, rebate programs and more. The organization also gets up to 6,000 calls a month to its toll-free hotline from patients seeking resources.

Sagall, a former family physician, said he's helping more people through the website than he ever did in private practice. "Our ultimate goal is to go out of business for lack of need," said Sagall. "I don't see that happening in the near future."

Sliding-scale health centers and programs like GoodRx and NeedyMeds.org offer affordable medication options.

The 340B program offers discounted outpatient prescription drugs, and patients can apply for Extra Help to reduce costs.

Rx Transitions and UpToDate Pro offer prescription tapering and medication management support.

Title:

Content: The overwhelming demand for mental health care and the shortage of providers specifically trained in it have left primary care providers (PCPs) on the front line of mental health services. 72% of the U.S. population lives in an area with a shortage of mental health professionals. Studies have found that PCPs treat 60% of people with depression and they write 79% of prescriptions for antidepressants. To help support this challenge, Wolters Kluwer Health today announced the launch of Rx Transitions for Mental Health for UpToDate® Pro. The medication management tool is designed to aid PCPs with prescription tapering and titration decision support and is now available with an UpToDate Pro subscription.

“PCPs have an increasingly central role in caring for patients with mental health challenges. Management is personalized, may be multimodal, and often involves pharmacological approaches. This can be difficult for time-pressed primary care providers, particularly since they may not always have specialized training,” said Dr. Peter Bonis, Chief Medical Officer, Wolters Kluwer Health. “We are committed to supporting PCPs with evidence-based decision support and are pleased to add Rx Transitions for Mental Health to help with the growing need for safe and effective mental health medication management.”

Helping clinicians reduce medication uncertainty at the point of care

Rx Transitions for Mental Health equips healthcare providers with detailed antidepressant switching decision support, for tapering off existing medications and titrating new ones. Clinicians can select from a range of medications and doses as well as the timeframe for transitioning between medications, to help them create a plan for guiding patients through the switching process. Medication transition schedules can be printed or copied into clinician notes, saving the clinician valuable transcribing time and enabling collaborative discussions with patients.

UpToDate Pro user Dianne Quibell, MD commented, “Polypharmacy is complex and pharmacodynamics would assist with an evidence-based approach. It’s hard to know if we should add [mental health] medication or switch. I always feel as if I am shooting from the hip.”

An organizational approach to mental health care

Wolters Kluwer Health also published a related Point of Care report geared for healthcare organizations administrators navigating dramatic shifts in today’s mental health services landscape. Topics in this issue include:

  • Understanding health leaders’ role in improving access to mental health services
  • Costs of unaddressed mental health care and potential returns with strategic investment
  • Promoting an environment conducive to addressing mental health challenges
  • Strategies for implementing and addressing mental health in primary care
  • Supporting clinical and drug referential content within workflows

The ASHP and the White House are working to address shortages, with proposed funding.

The first quarter of the United States serious drug shortage 323 drugs urgent cancer patients also have to be diverted and rationed!
CHU HENG NETWORK NEWS CENTER 2024-04-16 10: 42
According to the latest data from the American Society of Health System Pharmacists (ASHP) and the Utah Center for Drug Information Services, a total of 323 drugs in the United States were in severe shortages in the first quarter of this year, surpassing the record of 320 in 2014.
Among the drugs affected are the widely used diabetes drugs Ozempic and Mounjaro, the allergy treatment drug adrenaline, the common antibiotic amoxicillin for children, chemotherapy drugs and injections commonly used in hospitals in intensive care.
ASHP CEO Paul Abramowitz said in a statement that almost all categories of drugs are facing shortages, with non-patented sterile injectable drugs, including cancer chemotherapy drugs, and emergency drugs stored in hospital emergency vans and operating areas, the shortage of such drugs is the most worrying.
According to the American Cancer Society, chemotherapy is one of the top five drugs most affected by the shortage, which threatens to have a devastating impact on patients, and some hospitals and clinics say doctors have had to divert patients to ration their medications because of a shortage of some chemotherapy drugs.
In addition, ASHP noted that the continued nationwide shortage of ADHD drugs is “a problem for clinicians and patients. ”
The shortage of popular drugs is even more acute, with Mounjaro, the diabetes drug known as the “slimming pill ”, already in dire straits.
In response, Lilly said that the “unprecedented surge in demand ” for Mounjaro and its similar drug Zepbound has led to a shortage in the market, which the company is struggling to cope with.
Lilly is ramping up investments to boost production at Mounjaro and Zepbound in the second half of 2024.
The company said it expects intermittent supply disruptions in the near term due to unprecedented demand.
How to cure the drug shortage
The last major “drug shortage ” in U.S. history occurred in 2014, and it has only been alleviated in the years since.
Since 2021, the drug shortage situation seems to be increasing, and scholars in the field of medical health and economics in the United States believe that the reason for most drug shortages in the United States is the fragmentation of the drug supply chain.
The White House this month proposed spending between $3.26 billion and $5.11 billion over the next decade to help address the nation ’ s drug shortage.
The bill requires approval and funding from the U.S. Congress.
U.S. researchers and policymakers believe that a complete solution to the “drug shortage ” may require changes to the business model of the U.S. pharmaceutical industry, including measures to increase the price of generic drugs to attract more drug manufacturers.
Policymakers recommend giving the FDA more power to access more information about drug shortages and impending shortages.
Currently, the FDA relies primarily on phone calls to manufacturers asking if they can increase their supply to understand the situation.
The American Society of Health System Pharmacists said it is working with the federal government to advise the government on measures to address the drug shortage, including that Congress should require manufacturers to be more transparent on any supply chain issues and encourage more diversity in supply chains.
According to Abramowitz, “The federal government still has a lot of work to do to fundamentally address drug shortages, and the American Society of Health System Pharmacists will continue to engage regularly with policymakers to guide them in drafting and passing new legislation to address drug shortages and continue to advocate vigorously for proven solutions on behalf of our members. ”

The FDA permits importing chemotherapy drugs from overseas, and pharmacists offer alternatives during shortages.

Drug shortages have led to rationed care in hospitals, affecting 10-20% of cancer patients.

The drug shortage issue reached a record high of 323 in 2024, affecting all drug classes.

All drug classes are vulnerable to shortages, with most lasting over two years.

Manufacturing and quality problems, as well as supply chain gaps and downtime, cause most drug shortages.

Lack of transparency and undisclosed ingredient sources hinder response to shortages.

Requiring supplier disclosure and monitoring the supply chain can help mitigate shortages of life-saving medications.

Primary caretakers can consult healthcare professionals about alternative medications during a shortage.

Healthcare professionals can identify effective products for infants and children, meeting growing demand.

Foreign products can be imported to supplement supply, prioritizing children's hospitals.

Update on Supply of Children's Acetaminophen and Ibuprofen Products

·2 min read

OTTAWA, ON, Oct. 7, 2022 /CNW/ - We share the concerns of many parents and caregivers about their inability to find pediatric/infant and children's acetaminophen and ibuprofen products, and we understand the worries associated with this. Since the start of the shortage, we have been working to take actions to ensure that parents and caregivers have what they need to take care of children.

Over the summer months, there was unprecedented demand for these products and supply had not kept pace. We are working hand-in-hand with manufacturers and suppliers to keep increasing supply to meet consumer demand and to ensure that parents and caregivers have access to these important products.

Over the last few months, Health Canada has been in direct contact with manufacturers of pediatric/infant and children's acetaminophen and ibuprofen products, provinces and territories, children's hospitals, the Canadian Pharmacists Association, the Canadian Pediatric Society, and the Food, Health & Consumer Products of Canada to assess needs and avenues to expand supply, and to identify and implement shortage mitigation measures.

Minister Duclos has also personally spoken to several manufacturers, including Johnson & Johnson, Haleon and PharmaScience, to reiterate the urgent need to collaborate to find immediate solutions to this shortage so that parents and caregivers can have the medicines they need to take care of their children.

As manufacturers continue to ramp up production, with some producing products at record levels, additional supply has been made available. Additionally, companies who supply Canada have been provided pathways to import foreign products, and we are reaching out to additional suppliers. While supply is increasing, we expect that products will continue to be intermittently available in retail locations. As we work to get these medicines to all who need it, children's hospitals remain a particular area of focus for replenishment.

Health Canada has issued a Public Advisory offering parents and caregivers advice and important safety information. You may also speak to a healthcare professional or pharmacist about your infant or child's needs as they can help you identify what products are effective and needed, as well as offer options for safe alternative.

As the health of infants and children remains our top priority, all options to solve this shortage are on the table. Health Canada will provide regular updates on the supply situation of children's acetaminophen and ibuprofen products in Canada.

Cairo - Samar Hussein - Health
A severe tragedy woke up in the area of Minya al-Basal in Alexandria governorate, after the death of two children, Iman Mohammed, 7 years, and her sister, Sajda, 5 years, after injecting them with an alternative treatment that led to their lives moments after they got it.
Details of my daughter Alexandra.
According to investigations, the incident of the two sisters began after the security authorities received a report from their mother, revealing that she initially went to a pharmacy to dispense an antibiotic written by the doctor for her two children, but it was not available, so a worker advised her alternative treatment injected by her two daughters, and they felt very sick and were taken to the hospital where they died.
My daughter ’ s funeral is onions.
Soon, a report of the incident was written and the bodies of the two girls were transferred to the morgue of Kom El Dakka, where the forensic medicine finished the autopsy of the bodies, and the prosecution issued a burial permit, to be funeral this afternoon from Kom El Dakka.
A doctor talks about the children.
For his part, Dr. Mohammed Kilani, Consultant Pediatrics and Neonatology, during his talk to « Hen », explaining the danger of obtaining therapeutic alternatives without consulting the specialist doctor immediately.
The consultant of pediatrics stressed the need to refer to the specialist doctor in the event of changing the required treatment, so as not to expose the child to allergies that may be raised because the immune system does not accept some of the bodies present in the treatment itself, so that the therapeutic alternative can be obtained only if the specialist agrees.
Antibiotic allergy can lead to death.
Susan al-Mahdi, a pharmacist, revealed that there are some cases that suffer from the sensitivity of the body to some types of antibiotics, so it is necessary before getting them, the so-called sensitivity test under the skin, because if they appear on the patient, they affect the heart muscle and breathing process, which causes death, if not dealt with quickly.

Content: Survey: More than 60% believe migraines, allergies, other ailments will be cured in 100 years

FILE - Close-up shot of a woman suffering from a headache and rubbing her temples at home (Getty Images)

The future is bright and apparently migraine and allergy-free.

A recent survey conducted by OnePoll on behalf of Tivic Health, a bioelectronic medicine company, showed more than half of the people (62%) who participated in the survey believe most common ailments will be cured or at least contained within the next 100 years.

Of the 2,000 U.S. adults surveyed, many believed migraines (52%), allergies (47%) and the common cold (43%) would not be as prevalent as they are today.

While the outlook of those surveyed looks optimistic, two-thirds of participants who claimed they have allergies said their symptoms have actually gotten worse, with 75% of those respondents living in the Northeast, according to Tivic.

"Overall, more than half attribute this to increased indoor and outdoor pollution (58%) and rising temperatures (56%)," a news release on the survey’s findings said.

And as fall begins to ramp up (as well as ragweed pollination season) many participants said that because of their allergies, they can’t partake in outdoor activities.

While ragweed is one of the biggest allergy triggers during fall, Tivic noted that cocklebur and English plantain (ribwort) are also significant agitators for people with seasonal allergies.

RELATED: Climate change could extend allergy season by the end of the century, report says

"Knowing what plants cause seasonal allergies is one part of the equation, but avoidance of allergic triggers can’t be accomplished completely due to triggers being present throughout a typical day, such as when walking the dog or exercising outdoors," said Alan Goldsobel, MD, medical advisory board member, Tivic Health and allergist with Allergy and Asthma Associates of Northern California. "Allergy medications can be helpful, and there are safe alternatives to allergy medications, particularly for nasal congestion and sinus pressure and pain, that can provide both short and long-term relief, without causing drowsiness and interfering with one’s daily routine."

As people and technology evolve, the human species is living longer than ever before, with more and more surpassing 100 years. And with the advancement in medicine and medical technology, compared to 100 years ago, humans can have better control over their common ailments like migraines and the common cold.

People are becoming more conscientious of their health and easy-to-use technology such as Fitbits and smartwatches can make monitoring our health more accessible.

Thirty-three percent of participants said they regularly monitored their heart rate and more than half (54%) said they used a smartwatch or fitness band to keep track of their vitals.

"Many see the value in monitoring their health data, expressing interest in being able to keep an eye on their nutrient levels, such as daily sugar, protein, or carb intake (46%) and the quality of their vision (44%)," Tivic said.

Full survey results - Ailments people think will be contained in 100 years

  • Migraines - 52%
  • Allergies - 47%
  • Common cold - 43%
  • Cancer - 41%
  • Alzheimer’s - 39%

Unlicensed online prescriptions are life-threatening.

Doctors: Internet prescriptions "dangerous therapeutic mixtures"
Many are misled by social media accounts and pages that promote unknown medicinal and herbal products, claiming that they have the potential to cure many diseases, ignoring the resulting health risks that may lead to death.
Emirates Today has monitored online accounts, whose owners promote “medical ” mixtures, claiming that they are used to treat diseases such as diabetes and cancer, in addition to sexual stimulants, and preparations to treat epidemic diseases, and skin, sent to homes or sold in certain centers.
Dealers of these products, which are sold under the umbrella of “folk medicine ” or“ alternative medicine, ” usually advertise their products through social media for pages with high followings.
Doctors have warned against resorting to these types of prescriptions, or medical products, sold online, stressing that they contain misleading claims, such as the claim that they have the ability to treat diabetes and cancer.
They said they were unlicensed prescriptions, not approved by a medical professional.
The consultant of family medicine and occupational health, Dr. Mansour Anwar, said that the resort of patients to recipes and treatment mixtures online « a major problem that may threaten their lives, and expose them to health risks », stressing that he received patients who suffered health symptoms because of eating medical products, obtained from social networking sites.
He stressed that "the approach of people with chronic diseases to the mixtures of the Internet is a red line, as they are exposed to complications, and may suffer more serious health setbacks."
He held the promoters and sellers of these products responsible for the consequences for their users, as they sold them with misleading treatment claims, which harmed their users and put their lives at risk.
The specialist in family and community medicine at Fakih University Hospital, Dr. Adel Sajwani, stressed that « medicine must be based on evidence and evidence, but what is known as alternative medicine, most of it is not based on studies, so we must resort to everything that is scientifically proven ».
He pointed out that "the benefit of someone does not mean that the product or mixture is suitable for everyone, as the therapeutic product is not circulated only after extensive studies and experience on a large number of people, and determine the size of possible side effects."
He pointed out that many of those who developed kidney diseases and health problems were later proved to be because of their use of herbal products, or products that were not subject to scientific studies, calling for relying only on products that have been approved by international health bodies.
He added: "Medical specialization is one of the most important things to consider when choosing treatment methods, as a surgeon can not treat a diabetic patient, as the internal doctor does not have surgical information, each division and specialty of medicine, requires years of study, and should not ignore this information and resort to non-specialists for treatment."
Dr. Hamda Khansaheb, deputy head of the Family Medicine Division at the Emirates Medical Association, warned against buying any herbal or medicinal blends from social media, or any of the e-commerce means, as they are anonymous, content, and unsafe to use.
She pointed out that many patients suffered from decreased liver function, types of allergies, and other symptoms, which were later found to be the result of the patient's use of unknown therapeutic mixtures online.
She pointed out that "obtaining therapeutic methods from specialized doctors through social media, is permissible, especially if it is documented and supported scientifically, while care must be taken of any doctor circulating information without mentioning scientific and official sources."

Poison Control warns against dangerous trend as parents face shortages of children’s medicine

ORLANDO, Fla. — Parents are finding it harder to get over-the-counter medicine for young children with reports of shortages amid a recent rise in RSV, the flu, and other viruses across the country.

>>> STREAM CHANNEL 9 EYEWITNESS NEWS LIVE <<<

According to Poison Control, some parents are turning to a potentially dangerous alternative that they should avoid.

“Because so many people are getting ill, this stuff is actually being bought up, which is causing a bit of a slow down on restocking the shelves,” Doctor Jay Schauben of the Florida Poison Control Centers explained.

Poison Control officials say parents have turned to alternatives, such as cutting down adult medication tablets into smaller doses for children. They warn it’s important to avoid doing so.

“Cutting tablets in half is not going to give you the required dosage that you need for the age and weight of the child,” Schauben said.

It’s not just the dosage, Schauben says, but also the concentration and formulas that vary between children’s and adult’s medication.

Poison Control warns that cutting adult medication tablets and giving them to children can have dire consequences.

“Obviously, overdosing with some of these products, let’s say acetaminophen, in a Tylenol case, can be disastrous as far as liver function is concerned,” Schauben explained.

For parents who are having problems finding medicines for their children, state Poison Control officials suggest talking to their primary care physician, their pharmacists, or calling the Poison Control Helpline at 1-800-222-1222 for alternatives.

Chinese and Western medicine practitioners choose to seek medical treatment according to their own medical conditions.
The National Medical Center on Princes Street in Flushing, New York, is run by Dr. Fan Shu-kuo and Dr. Hsu Ying-tung.
Professor Xu Ying has worked in Chinese medicine for more than 40 years, graduated from the Chinese Ministry of Health Acupuncture Graduate Class, and is a senior expert representative of Chinese medicine acupuncture sent by the Chinese Ministry of Health.
Professor Fan Shuguo graduated from Chengdu University of Traditional Chinese Medicine and has worked in Chinese medicine for more than 50 years.
Professor Xu Ying and Professor Fan Shuguo co-authored the clinical academic paper of Chinese medicine at the same time was selected by the Chinese and foreign expert teams, and was commissioned by the Chinese Ministry of Health to participate in the "World Conference on Chinese Medicine and Acupuncture Experience Exchange".
Hsu Ying and Fan Shu-kuo are famous old Chinese medicine practitioners, chief doctors of Chinese medicine and professors of Chinese medicine. Together, they founded the “Kuomintang ” Advanced Chinese Medicine Clinic in the United States.
In the United States, Western medicine has dominated the market, and Chinese medicine is only a supplement to Western medicine.
In order to facilitate the public's choice, the "National Medical Center" will be the characteristics of the two briefly introduced as follows:
1.
Western medicine is laboratory medicine.
When people go through the treatment process of Western medicine many times, patients find that Western medicine prescription drugs are based on the laboratory test report.
Since the understanding of the universe and the human body in modern science is only about 20%, the root of many diseases can not be found in the laboratory, and there are no corresponding drugs to treat.
2.
TCM is experiential medicine.
Traditional Chinese medicine is a medical system that has been combined with theory and clinical experience for thousands of years and even tens of thousands of years.
For example, the Yin and Yang Five Elements Theory is the simple philosophical thought of ancient China used in the clinical practice of traditional Chinese medicine.
When treating patients, Chinese medicine is flexible and targeted both in diagnosis and prescription.
Flushing Prince Street has more than 40 years of experience in curing the following diseases:
1.
Natural climate change damages a variety of common diseases and diseases that occur in the human body.
2.
There are various types of intractable problems that cannot be cured.
3.
Experimental detection results belong to various diseases that occur in the function of the human immune system and endocrine system; diseases that are viral are detected.
Western medicine treatment of these diseases is still in a state of no medicine available, but Chinese medicine treatment is very effective.
4.
For diseases that cannot be detected in the laboratory, the patient feels unwell and even very painful. Due to the limitations of current technology, the Western Medical Laboratory can not detect any results, but the clinical practice of Chinese medicine for the treatment of such diseases is very effective.
5.
At present, Western medicine has no drug available diseases, which have been detected in the laboratory and reached a correct diagnosis conclusion, but limited to the current Western medicine has not developed a suitable and effective drug, and there is no drug available condition, such diseases can be treated by Chinese medicine.
6.
Health, growth and longevity, maintaining physical health, and prolonging the life of the human body are inevitable and necessary in the development of human civilization.
After more than 40 years of research and development, Van 's Longevity Powder has been used in clinical practice and has received good feedback.
