Medicines including vaccines save lives and prevent diseases and epidemics only if they are safe,
efficacious, of good quality and are used rationally. HealthPharm is Zimbabwe's leading healthcare company for wholesale medical supplies & equipment. We are well known for our accurate, safe and speedy drug distribution services to a huge clientele in Zimbabwe.
The use of unsafe, substandard, ineffective and
Spurious/falsely-labelled/falsified/counterfeit medical products (SFFC) and vaccines can be harmful to the
health and well being of the individual patient as well as to a wider section of the population. They
also undermine confidence in the health service, health professionals who treat patients, prescribers,
as well as those who manufacture, distribute and dispense/sale medicines.
The purchase of unsafe, substandard, ineffective and SFFC medicines is a waste of money for the
government, the individual patient and the public. That's why we recommend using HealthPharm services for all your medical supplies and equipment.
Governments must regulate the manufacture, export, import, storage, distribution, supply and sale
of medicines to ensure the safety, efficacy and quality of medicines.
Governments have to establish strong national medicines regulatory authorities (NMRAs). To enable
the NMRAs to operate effectively, governments have to provide strong political support, adequate
and sustainable human, financial and other resources, and legal power for enforcement. Ineffective
regulation and control can result in the proliferation of unsafe, ineffective, substandard and SFFC
medicines.
In addition, manufacturers have to produce medicines in accordance with good manufacturing
practice (GMP) requirements and distributors have to store and distribute medicines in accordance
with good storage and good distribution practices as provided in the WHO guidelines (Guide to good
storage practices for pharmaceuticals, Annex 9, WHO Technical Report Series 908, 2003:
http://whqlibdoc.who.int/trs/WHO_TRS_908.pdf#page=135 and Good distribution practices for
pharmaceutical products, Annex 5, WHO Technical Report Series 937, 2006:
http://whqlibdoc.who.int/trs/WHO_TRS_937_eng.pdf#page=191 ).
"Substandard medicines are pharmaceutical products that fail to meet either their quality standards
and specifications, or both.
Each pharmaceutical product that a manufacturer produces has to comply with quality assurance
standards and specifications, at release and throughout its shelf-life, according to the requirements
of the territory of use. Normally, these standards and specifications are reviewed, assessed and
approved by the applicable national or regional medicines regulatory authority before the product is
authorized for marketing."
45th WHO Expert Committee on Specifications for Pharmaceutical Preparations, 2010
Hundreds of different pharmaceuticals have been detected in environmental compartments globally. Pharmaceuticals can enter the environment in a variety of ways:
- Manufacturing emissions
- Human consumption and excretion of pharmaceutical products
- Improper disposal of pharmaceuticals down toilets and sinks
The active ingredients of pharmaceuticals are designed to stimulate a response in humans and animals, and some are engineered so that they remain unchanged during their passage through the body. Unfortunately, this stability means that they also persist outside the body and as a consequence, can have therapeutic effects on non-target organisms and build up in the environment.
Pharmaceuticals that enter the environment can have unexpected harmful effects on wildlife. One of the worst cases of wildlife poisoning by a chemical has been attributed to a pharmaceutical product: Diclofenac. This anti-inflammatory non-steroidal drug (NSAID), caused a 97% decline in 3 species of Old World vultures (genus Gyps) in Asia, with risk of extinction. Vultures feeding on carcasses of cattle treated with Diclofenac suffered acute kidney failure and died within days.
Pharmaceuticals in the environment may also pose a concern to human health. Although the concentrations of pharmaceuticals may be low, exposure to mixtures of pharmaceuticals with other chemicals could pose a risk to human health. Synergistic effects can intensify therapeutic properties and even low concentrations can be dangerous to people for whom a medicine has been contraindicated.
Most Member States of the AU have implemented collection systems for unused and expired medicines. Find out how to return unwanted medicines in your local area by asking a pharmacist. But always remember: never put medicine down the toilet or sink.
