To this end, government health authorities and local manufacturers requested WHO support and technical assistance to prequalify several locally produced medicines, as a way to fast-track the building of local capacity to manufacture medicines according to international quality standards. An integral part of the process is the strengthening of national regulatory capacity to enforce these standards on an ongoing basis. The Nigerian quest priority diseases meet global standards While no medicines manufacturer in West of quality, safety and efficacy.

  • The Effect of the Roots of Empathy Program on the Use of Psychotropic Medications Among Youth in Manitoba
    The effect of the Roots of Empathy program on the use of psychotropic medications among youth in Manitoba by Lindsey Dahl A Thesis submitted to the Faculty of Graduate Studies of The University of Manitoba in partial fulfilment of the requirements of the degree of MASTER OF SCIENCE Department of Community Health Sciences, Rady Faculty of Health Sciences, Max Rady College of Medicine University of Manitoba Winnipeg Copyright © 2017 by Lindsey Dahl Abstract Background: Psychotropic medications prescriptions to youth have increased. Roots of Empathy (ROE) is a social and emotional learning program that may influence the use of psychotropic medication. Methods: Administrative data was analyzed in a matched sample of children who received ROE during 2002/03 to 2012/13. Kaplan-Meier survival curves and Cox proportional hazard models were used to estimate the association between ROE and psychotropic medication dispensations. Results: Few significant differences were observed. Children who received ROE in kindergarten to grade 3 had a lower adjusted hazard for an anxiolytic dispensation. Children who received ROE in grade 7 to 8 had a higher hazard for an antipsychotic dispensation. Males who received the program had an increased hazard for an antipsychotic dispensation. Conclusion: There was no consistent differences in the likelihood of being dispensed a psychotropic medication between children who received ROE and children who did not in Manitoba. ii Acknowledgments I would like to first thank my thesis advisor Dr. Randy Fransoo of the Department of Community Health Sciences, Rady Faculty of Health Sciences, Max Rady College of Medicine at the University of Manitoba.

Insulin resistance plays a key role in pathogenic mechanisms of NAFLD. Many drugs have been tested but no medications have yet been approved. Antidiabetic drugs could have a role in the progression reduction of the disease. The aim of this review is to summarize evidence on efficacy and safety of antidiabetic drugs in patients with NAFLD. Metformin, a biguanide, is the most frequently used drug in the treatment of T2DM. To date 15 randomized controlled trials (RCTs) and four meta-analysis on the use of metformin in NAFLD are available. No significant improvement in histological liver fibrosis was shown, but it can be useful in the treatment of co-factors of NAFLD, like body weight, transaminase or cholesterol levels, and HbA1c levels.

  • A Prospective Cohort Study on Effects of Gemigliptin On
    www.nature.com/scientificreports OPEN A prospective cohort study on efects of gemigliptin on cardiovascular outcomes in patients with type 2 diabetes (OPTIMUS study) Eun Heui Kim1,9, Sang Soo Kim1,9, Dong Jun Kim2, Young Sik Choi3, Chang Won Lee4, Bon Jeong Ku5, Kwang Soo Cha1, Kee Ho Song6, Dae Kyeong Kim7 & In Joo Kim1,8* This study was performed to evaluate the long-term cardiovascular safety of gemigliptin in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). After screening, eligible patients with T2DM were enrolled, received gemigliptin, and were followed up for a median of 2.50 years. The primary outcome was a composite of confrmed cardiovascular death, nonfatal myocardial infarction, or nonfatal ischemic stroke (3-point major adverse cardiovascular event [MACE]). The key secondary outcomes were incidence of all-cause mortality and any other cardiovascular events. A total of 5179 patients were included in the study and 5113 were treated with gemigliptin. Overall, the primary outcome occurred in 26 patients within 12 months (estimated incidence by Cox proportional hazard model 0.49%, 95% CI 0.29–0.69%) and in 54 patients within 54 months (estimated incidence from Cox proportional hazard model 1.35%, 95% CI 0.92–1.77%). During the study period, the incidence rates of each component of the primary composite outcome were 0.04% (0.2 events per 1000 person-years) for cardiovascular death, 0.51% (2.2 events per 1000 person-years) for nonfatal myocardial infarction, and 0.61% (2.5 events per 1000 person-years) for nonfatal ischemic stroke. The incidence of all-cause mortality was 0.82% (3.2 events per 1000 person-years) and the incidences of other cardiovascular events were all less than 0.3%.

  • Pharmacological Treatment in Diabetes Mellitus Type 1 – Insulin and What Else? Ewa Otto-Buczkowska,1,* and Natalia Jainta2
    Int J Endocrinol Metab. 2018 January; 16(1):e13008. doi: 10.5812/ijem.13008. Published online 2017 November 20. Review Article Pharmacological Treatment in Diabetes Mellitus Type 1 – Insulin and What Else? Ewa Otto-Buczkowska,1,* and Natalia Jainta2 1Medical Specialist Centre in Gliwice, Poland 2Medical University of Silesia in Katowice, Poland *Corresponding author: Ewa Otto-Buczkowska MD PhD, Jasnogorska 16/2144-100 Gliwice, Poland. E-mail: [email protected] Received 2017 May 11; Revised 2017 September 18; Accepted 2017 October 31. Abstract The basis of treatment in autoimmune diabetes is insulin therapy; however, many clinical cases have proven that this method does not solve all problems. Trials of causal treatment including blocking the autoimmune processes and insulin-producing cells trans- plants were carried out. Those methods require more research to be concerned as efficient and safe ways of treatment in type 1 diabetes. The use of non-insulin adjunct treatment is a new trend. It has been successfully used in laboratories as well as clinical tri- als. Metformin is the most widely used drug, together with sodium-glucose co-transporters 2 (SGLT2) inhibitors, amylin analogues, glucagon-like peptide 1 (GLP-1) receptor agonists, and dipeptidyl peptidase-4 (DPP-4) inhibitors. The results of administration of these medicaments give good outcomes in patients with diabetes mellitus type 1. Most likely, in the near future, they will progres- sively be used in both adult and adolescent patients with type 1 diabetes. Further multicenter, randomized studies are required to evaluate the efficacy of treatment and long term safety of these drugs.

  • Essential Medicines List (EML) 2017 Application for the Revision Of
    Essential Medicines List (EML) 2017 Application for the revision of second line treatments of type II diabetes: considered agents that can be used in combination with metformin are sulfonylureas, meglitinides, alpha-glucosidase inhibitors, TZDs, DPP-4 inhibitors, SGLT-2 inhibitors, GLP-1 agonists, basal insulins, bolus insulins, and biphasic insulins. General items 1. Summary statement of the proposal for inclusion, change or deletion In type 2 diabetes, when initial therapy with lifestyle interventions and metformin monotherapy are unsuccessful, a second oral or injectable agent is recommended. This is referred to as ‘second-line therapy’. Historically, insulin or sulfonylureas have been preferred second-line agents because of efficacy, side-effect profiles, long-term safety, and relative cost. Both insulin and sulfonylurea are listed as essential medicines, along with metformin. In 2013 the Expert Committee of Essential Medicines Selection and Use evaluated evidence comparing four groups of oral hypoglycemics: (1) dipeptidyl peptidase-4 (DPP-4) inhibitors, (2) thiazolidinediones, (3) alpha-glucosidase inhibitors, such as acarbose, and (4) meglitinides, against metformin (biguanide) and sulfonylureas (WHO Technical Report Series 985). The results from the 2013 review indicated that there were no apparent differences in efficacy across drug classes, and that sulfonylureas were the most cost-effective treatment option. Based on these analyses, the Expert Committee recommended that “there was insufficient evidence to show that any of the medicines in the four groups (DPP-4 inhibitors, alphaglucosidase inhibitors, meglitinides, or thiazolidinediones) offered any efficacy or safety advantages over the existing medicines included in the EML”, (i.e. metformin first line and sulfonylurea second line). Since then, a new drug class has entered the market of several countries for the treatment of patients with T2D — sodium-glucose cotransporter-2 (SGLT-2) inhibitors.

They increase endogenous levels of incretin hormones, which stimulate glucose-dependent insulin secretion, decrease glucagon secretion, and contribute to reducing postprandial hyperglycemia. Although DPP-4 inhibitors have similar benefits, they can be differentiated in terms of their chemical structure, pharmacology, efficacy and safety profiles, and clinical considerations. -Gemi gliptin (brand name: Zemiglo), developed by LG Life Sciences, is a potent, selective, competitive, and long acting DPP-4 inhibitor. Various studies have shown that gemigliptin is an optimized DPP-4 inhibitor in terms of efficacy, safety, and patient compliance for treatment of type 2 diabetes mellitus. In this review, we summarize the characteristics of gemigliptin and discuss its potential benefits in clinical practice.
