No ☐ Not applicable Comments: The larval stages of three taeniid cestode parasites, Echinococcus granulosus, Echinococcus multilocularis and Taenia solium, produce cysts in humans that are of medical relevance. The diseases caused by these parasitic cysts are called cystic echinococcosis (CE), alveolar echinococcosis (AE), and cysticercosis (being neurocysticercosis (NCC) the most common form) respectively, and they are recognised by WHO as neglected tropical diseases. NCC is mainly a disease of poverty that predominantly affects rural populations in Africa, Asia and Latin America. Access to diagnostic and treatment, to better manage epilepsy and other NCC is a challenge for the people affected in these communities due to the availability and costs of specialised diagnostic and care. Stigma and social discrimination also mean that many people try to “hide” the disease. Briefly summarize the role of the The only real options for treatment of CE are albendazole (ALB) and Mebendazole proposed medicine(s) relative to other (MEB). ALB is the drug of choice as it has better bioavailability. ALB is also preferred to therapeutic agents currently included in MEB, because MEB requires a higher dose and a higher pill burden, for example, an the Model List, or available in the adult patient would require 8 tablets/day of MEB compared with 2 tablets/day ALB. market.

  • ALBENDAZOLE (Extrapolation to All Ruminants)
    European Medicines Agency Veterinary Medicines and Inspections EMEA/MRL/865/03-FINAL June 2004 COMMITTEE FOR MEDICINAL PRODUCTS FOR VETERINARY USE ALBENDAZOLE (Extrapolation to all ruminants) SUMMARY REPORT (3) 1. Albendazole is a benzimidazole carbamate, used for the treatment of gastrointestinal infestations with roundworms, lungworms and tapeworms and adult flukes of Fasciola hepatica. Albendazole is currently entered into Annex I of Council Regulation (EEC) No. 2377/90 in accordance with the following table: Pharmacologically Marker residue Animal MRLs Target Other active substance(s) species tissues provisions Albendazole Sum of albendazole Bovine, 100 µg/kg Muscle sulphoxide, ovine 100 µg/kg Fat albendazole sulphone 1000 µg/kg Liver and albendazole 2- 500 µg/kg Kidney amino sulphone 100 µg/kg Milk expressed as albendazole 2. In reviewing the availability of endo- and ectoparasiticides for sheep and goats, albendazole was considered for extrapolation from bovine and ovine species to all ruminants. The considerations and criteria leading to the identification of albendazole are described in the Position Paper Regarding Availability of Veterinary Medicines – Extrapolation of MRLs (EMEA/CVMP/457/03-FINAL). 3. The scientific justification for this extrapolation was assessed in accordance with the Notes for Guidance on Risk Analysis Approach for Residues of Veterinary Medicinal Products in Food of Animal Origin (EMEA/CVMP/187/00-FINAL) and on the Establishment of Maximum Residue Limits for Minor Animal Species (EMEA/CVMP/153a/97-FINAL). 4. In setting the ADI in the original assessment of albendazole, the data summarised on the paragraphs below were considered. 5. The mode of action of albendazole is by binding strongly with the tubulin in the cells of nematodes.

Upon administration, tanibirumab specifically binds to VEGFR2, thereby preventing the binding of its ligand VEGF. This may result in the inhibition of tumor angiogenesis and a decrease in tumor nutrient supply. VEGFR2 is a pro-angiogenic growth factor receptor tyrosine kinase expressed by endothelial cells, while VEGF is overexpressed in many tumors and is correlated to tumor progression.

  • COMPARISON of the WHO ATC CLASSIFICATION & Ephmra/Intellus Worldwide ANATOMICAL CLASSIFICATION
    COMPARISON OF THE WHO ATC CLASSIFICATION & EphMRA/Intellus Worldwide ANATOMICAL CLASSIFICATION: VERSION June 2019 2 Comparison of the WHO ATC Classification and EphMRA / Intellus Worldwide Anatomical Classification The following booklet is designed to improve the understanding of the two classification systems. The development of the two systems had previously taken place separately. EphMRA and WHO are now working together to ensure that there is a convergence of the 2 systems rather than a divergence. In order to better understand the two classification systems, we should pay attention to the way in which substances/products are classified. WHO mainly classifies substances according to the therapeutic or pharmaceutical aspects and in one class only (particular formulations or strengths can be given separate codes, e.g. clonidine in C02A as antihypertensive agent, N02C as anti-migraine product and S01E as ophthalmic product). EphMRA classifies products, mainly according to their indications and use. Therefore, it is possible to find the same compound in several classes, depending on the product, e.g., NAPROXEN tablets can be classified in M1A (antirheumatic), N2B (analgesic) and G2C if indicated for gynaecological conditions only. The purposes of classification are also different: The main purpose of the WHO classification is for international drug utilisation research and for adverse drug reaction monitoring. This classification is recommended by the WHO for use in international drug utilisation research. The EphMRA/Intellus Worldwide classification has a primary objective to satisfy the marketing needs of the pharmaceutical companies. Therefore, a direct comparison is sometimes difficult due to the different nature and purpose of the two systems.
