Medicines continue to form the mainstay of treatment methods for most medical conditions known today, despite some speculations that chemicals in the human body may be self-regulated via nanobots in the future.
But that future is still 50 years away. At present, healthcare is still learning to cope with the possibilities of precision medicine and artificial intelligence.
The domestic pharmaceuticals market is said to be the world’s third largest in terms of volume and thirteenth largest by value. Implying that one out of every three tablets available anywhere in the world has been produced by an Indian company. The sector was valued at USD 33 billion in 2017; and by September 2018, the market had grown by 9.7% to tally almost USD 18 billion. The US makes up for 40% of all generic medicine demand from India, while its pharma workforce boasts of great representation in new drug applications and drug master files applications in the country. Healthcare has seen a clear shift toward patient centrality and quality enhancement while pharmaceuticals are moving towards niche products. There are several new areas, which modern pharma employees need to have knowledge of and train themselves to remain relevant and have a sustainable role in tomorrow’s industry.

Boost Productivity With Anti-sloshing
Transport liquids faster without spills With B&R’s industrial transport system, it is now possible to transport liquids quickly with no spills. SuperTrak is the only system on the market to offer anti-sloshing technology.

Rational Use Of Drugs And Irrational Drug Combinations
Irrational use of medicines is a global phenomenon. Rational use of drugs may be defined as: Patients receive medications appropriate to their clinical needs, in doses that meet their own individual requirements, for an adequate period of time, and the lowest cost to them and their community. Overuse, polypharmacy and incorrect use of drugs are the most common problems of drug use today. Irrational use of drugs may result due to various reasons at various levels including the prescribing errors and over the counter drugs. Irrational use of medicines may lead to serious negative health and economic consequences. Many irrational drug combinations are available in the Indian market. Proper implementation of rational use of drugs will improve the quality of life and result in better community healthcare.
Cold Chain Management For Sensitive Goods
Packaging, route planning and risk analysis ensure safe conditions during transportation of delicate drugs. Drugs are sensitive goods to transport, which can be subject to irreversible damage if they are stored or transported at temperatures outside the tolerated range. If the temperature falls below or rises above the specified range the quality of drugs requiring refrigeration can be seriously affected and they may cease to be effective. This article therefore describes how transport conditions during the transportation of drugs can be optimised through suitable packaging, individualised process design, the analysis and assessment of potential risks and close collaboration between the sender and the freight carrier.
