Yep, this book is a translation book. The original book is entitled “Consumer’s Guide to Prescription and over the counter medication” written by Dr. Luna. This 395 page book will review into 12 chapters. In the first chapter, for example, you will be dealing with drugs that are specifically given to patients or sufferers who have cardiovascular disorders. In this chapter you will be invited to explore more deeply about hypertension, angine, acute coronary syndrome (ACS), arrhythmias, heart failure, stroke and dyslipidemia.
Of course it doesn’t just stop there. This book published by Deepublish will also review blood disorders which include venous thrombosis. It is undeniable that not everyone has low hemoglobin (Hb) levels, which results in reduced blood oxygen-carrying capacity. These people suffer from anemia. follow us for more
Industrial pharmaceuticals are drug technology in the industrial sector. It aims to discover, develop, manufacture and market drugs or pharmaceutical drugs for use as medicine to be administered (or self-administered) to patients from physicians, for the purpose of curing them, vaccinating them, or alleviating symptoms. Pharmaceutical companies can handle generic or branded drugs and medical devices. They are subject to various laws and regulations governing the patenting, testing, safety, efficacy and marketing of drugs
Mid 1800s – 1945: From plants to the first synthetic drugs
Ehrlich’s approach to systematically varying the chemical structures of synthetic compounds and measuring the effects of these changes on biological activity was carried out widely by industrial scientists, including Bayer scientists Josef Klarer, Fritz Mietzsch, and Gerhard Domagk. This work, also based on testing of compounds available from the German dye industry, led to the development of Prontosil. the first representative of the class of sulfonamide antibiotics. Compared to arsphenamine, sulfonamides have a wider spectrum of activity and are much less toxic, which is important for infections caused by pathogens such as streptococci. In 1939, Domagk received the Nobel Prize in Medicine for this discovery. Nonetheless, the dramatic decline in deaths from communicable diseases that occurred before World War II was primarily a result of improved public health measures such as cleaner water and less crowded housing, and the impact of anti-infective drugs and vaccines was significant especially after World War II.
In 1885 Louis Pasteur and Pierre Paul Émile Roux created the first rabies vaccine. The first diphtheria vaccine was produced in 1914 from a mixture of diphtheria toxin and antitoxin (produced from the sera of inoculated animals), but the safety of the inoculation was marginal and not widely used. The United States recorded 206,000 cases of diphtheria in 1921 which resulted in 15,520 deaths. In 1923 Gaston Ramon at the Pasteur Institute and Alexander Glenny at the Research Laboratory led to the discovery that a safer vaccine could be produced by treating diphtheria toxin with formaldehyde. In 1944, Maurice Hilleman of Squibb Pharmaceuticals developed the first vaccine against Japanese encephalitis. Hilleman would then move to Merck where he would play a key role in the development of vaccines against measles, mumps, chickenpox, rubella, hepatitis A, hepatitis B, and meningitis.
