Implementation of Standards of Good Pharmacy Practice in the World: A Review

The aim of the study is to review the historical stages of development of the requirements of good pharmaceutical practice (GPP), generalization of the normative documents recommended by the International pharmaceutical company (MFP) for use in the world of pharmaceutical practice. Methods of generalization of the information material and system analysis were used in the study. Historical stages of the development of the concept of the GPP in the world and the role of the World Health Organization and the FIP in the process were analyzed. Researches of professional standards of pharmacy practice in developed countries reveal different approaches to the regulation of such activities, however, despite the applicable model standards are developed by the pharmaceutical associations and are used by regulatory bodies, business owners, and professionals to control the quality of pharmacy services that are provided to the population. The study indicates that the development of the GPP standards should be resolved at the level of public professional organizations as the national regulation of pharmacy practice in different countries varies significantly. Prospects of further scientific researches are aimed on using the results of the study while developing and implementing national standards of the GPP in the world

ПОРІВНЯЛЬНИЙ АНАЛІЗ СПОЖИВЧИХ ВЛАСТИВОСТЕЙ ВАЛСАРТАНВМІСНИХ ПРЕПАРАТІВ З ПОГЛЯДУ АСИМЕТРІЇ ІНФОРМАЦІЇ

The aim of the work. Comparative analysis of package inserts of combined valsartan-containing drugs  in terms of asymmetric information. Materials and Methods. Data of the State Register of Medicines of Ukraine as of September 1, 2019, in particular 7 package inserts of  trademarks of Combined Valsartans. As research methods content, comparative, logical, contextual and qualitative analysis were applied. Results and Discussion. There is a discrepancy in some sections  of the text contents of 7 trademarks of Combined Valsartans. The results confirmed the asymmetry of information about the pharmacological  identity of  drugs-analogues without prooving  of bioequivalence data. Also, it shows the need to take into consideration the communicative differences in the package inserts of analogues to ensure safe prescribing of drugs and reduce drug problems due to their use. Conclusions. The analysis allows us to conclude that the information in the package inserts provided by the manufacturers is not complete. In order to ensure the reliable and safe administration of the studied drugs, healthcare professionals should not forget about the established differences in their consumer properties and individual approach to use by patients.Мета роботи. Порівняльний аналіз текстів інструкцій до медичного застосування (ІМЗ) комбінованих валсартанвмісних препаратів (КВП) з погляду асиметрії інформації. Матеріали і методи. Матеріали дослідження: дані Державного  реєстру лікарських засобів України станом на 01.09.2019 р., зокрема 7 інструкцій для медичного застосування торгових марок (ТМ)  КВП у формі таблеток по 80 мг. Як методи дослідження були використані контент-аналіз, порівняльний, логічний, контекстуальний та квалітативний аналізи. Результати й обговорення. Встановлено, що проаналізовані ТМ КВП  відрізняються за складом допоміжних речовин. У текстах досліджуваних ІМЗ виявлено розбіжності щодо термінів придатності, показань і протипоказань до застосування, взаємодії з іншими лікарськими засобами, особливостей застосування у період вагітності, під час годування груддю та у дітей, а також побічних реакцій ТМ КВП. Результатом цих комунікативних розбіжностей може стати нераціональне призначення ТМ КВП хворим на артеріальну гіпертензію внаслідок неадекватного сприйняття тексту ІМЗ, що може привести до розвитку негативних реакцій. Висновки. На підставі порівняльної оцінки споживчих властивостей 7 ТМ КВП у формі таблеток по 80 мг виявлено асиметричність інформації щодо їхньої фармакологічної ідентичності  унаслідок різночитань змісту тексту в більшості ІМЗ. Зазначене вказує на те, що лікарі з метою забезпечення достовірного і безпечного призначення ТМ КВП повинні зауважувати встановлені відмінності в їхніх споживчих властивостях та індивідуальному підході до призначення пацієнтам

Effective communication of Ukrainian medical opinion leaders in social network

The article deals with the analysis of effective communication of Ukrainian opinion leaders in social media. In Ukraine, the use of social networking sites Facebook and Instagram has become widespread. There are also two recognized opinion leaders in the field of health care, Yevhen Komarovskiy and Ulana Suprun. Based on a two-step flow model of communication, the authors investigate how opinion leaders create their Internet content on social networks and establish communication with the audience. The study uses qualitative and quantitative research methods, which allow for reproducing the overall scheme of building the opinion leaders' internet content. The features of Ukrainian opinion leaders' effective communication with the audience were determined by specifying content distribution technologies, specifying formats for presenting information as well as identify the subject of messages, selecting out hashtags. According to the results of the study, opinion leaders use different channels of communication with the audience, and patients (own website, a YouTube channel, participation in media projects). Their activities in social networks Instagram and Facebook are confirmed by the regular posting and communication with other users, encouraging feedback. Opinion leaders in the medical field apply the following technologies to create a positive image and maintain credibility among the audience: minimizing messages about private life; creating a column about breaking down health stereotypes; spreading medical innovations; quality visual content; hyperlinks to their other channels; use and creating hashtags; simple and clear advice to their patients

Implementation of aid as pharmaceutical innovation towards national and foreign pharmaceutical practice

Over the past four decades there was a tendency to shift the focus of pharmaceutical activities, primarily focused on providing medicines to help patients. So the role of the pharmacist has evolved, and he turned from the person who manufactures and sells drugs into a provider of services and information. The most important thing is that the pharmacist gives aid to the patient, taking him under his professional care. Moreover, the task of a pharmacist is to ensure that the aid received by the patient, is administered correctly, the most effective among all available options, the most safe and right for this patient. The practice of pharmaceutical care is new and significantly different from what was the activity of pharmacists in last years. As pharmacists often were unable to bear the responsibility for pharmacotherapy, having neither appropriate documentary justification nor possibilities for monitoring, control and analysis of treatment. Taking over this responsibility is the cornerstone in the practice of pharmaceutical care

Introduction of standards of good pharmacy practice (GPP) in the world

Останніми роками в міжнародній аптечній практиці проходять активні процеси, що направлені на підвищення якості професійної діяльності, зокрема запроваджуються стандарти Належної аптечної практики (GPP). Дослідження професійних стандартів аптечної практики розвинених країн світу виявляє різні підходи до нормування такої діяльності, однак незалежно від застосованої моделі стандарти розробляються фармацевтичними асоціаціями та використовуються регуляторними органами, власниками підприємств і фахівцями для контролю якості аптечних послуг, що надаються населенню. Проаналізовано історичні етапи становлення концепції Належної аптечної практики (GPP) у світі та роль Всесвітньої організації охорони здоров’я (ВООЗ) і Міжнародної фармацевтичної федерації (МФФ) у даному процесі. Розглянуто підходи до стандартизації діяльності аптечних закладів в світі, зокрема визначена провідна роль у розробці вимог Належної аптечної практики національних професійних організацій, оскільки саме вони здатні врахувати всі особливості фармацевтичного обслуговування населення в їхніх державах.In recent years there are active processes in the international pharmacy practice aimed on improving the quality of professional work, in particular, standards of the Good Pharmacy Practice (GPP) are being introduced.
