Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this new edition of Pharmaceutical Chartbook, readers get a bird?s-eye view of the major trends in the pharmaceutical industry. Major challenges are facing the pharmaceutical industry, challenges which may have an impact on the rate of discovery of new pharmaceuticals, innovation in prescribing, causes of major shifts in distribution channels, and ways in which pharmaceuticals are reimbursed. As the pharmaceutical field is becoming more complex, the necessity arises to illustrate, document, and provide an overview of the major trends impinging on drug sales in a clear and accessible manner. In graphical form, Pharmaceutical Chartbook provides facts and figures for executives and managers in the industry. They, along with others involved in the pharmaceutical industry, will find this updated edition to be: comprehensive: Pharmaceutical Chartbook provides in 10 topic areas, an overview of issues involved in the discovery, distribution, and purchase of drugs. selective: Only major issues directly relevant to changes in the field are included in this edition. descriptive of trends: The charts and graphs allow for interpretive powers beyond the usual cross-sectional or snapshot approach for data presentation. contemporary in nature: The graphs are the most up-to-date and include information that is not yet publicly available. easy to use: In addition to providing a quick review of the major trends in the industry, the tables and graphs in Pharmaceutical Chartbook can be used as illustrations or included in presentations, speeches, seminars, etc. Currently, the pharmaceutical industry is gearing up for increased competition induced by managed care. Strategies to meet the challenge of increased competition include forming alliances with the generic pharmaceutical industry and integrating operations via horizontal and vertical merges. The facts and trends in the Pharmaceutical Chartbook provide needed data for executives and managers in the industry; administrators in government agencies such as the GAO, OBM, FDA, and Medicaid; administrators in public, semi-private, and private institutions like OTA, HIH, AHCPR; academicians and faculty in medical, pharmacy, public health, and nursing; and contract research organizations and other consulting firms.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Stay up to date with changes in the biopharmaceutical products market! With the growth rate of biopharmaceutical products ascending rapidly since the 1980s, the number of biotechnology companies has risen to more than 1200 new businesses in the Unites States alone. This dramatic increase creates a new set of challenges in education, putting demands on teachers and students to keep pace with innovations in terminology and techniques. The Handbook of Pharmaceutical Biotechnology is essential in meeting those challenges. A practical compendium of biotechnology-produced drugs, the Handbook of Pharmaceutical Biotechnology covers general principles of biotechnology and pharmaceuticals, putting usable information in the hands of those who need it most. The book presents descriptions that break down each pharmaceutical product by pharmacology, pharmacokinetics, clinical applications, toxicities, and dosage guidelines. It also reviews prescription products, discussing clinical uses and trials, adverse reactions, and more. Tables, figures, and extensive references add to each comprehensive summary. The Handbook of Pharmaceutical Biotechnology also includes up-to-date information on: monoclonal antibodies (Abciximab, Muromonab-CD3) enzymes and regulators of enzyme activity (Alteplase, clotting factors, Dornase alpha) anticytokines olgonucleotide and gene therapy hematopoietic growth factors (interleukins, interferons, colony stimulating factors, erythropoietin) As the worldwide production and sales of biotechnology-derived pharmaceuticals and diagnostics continues to grow, teachers, students, and clinical pharmacists need to maintain a clear and current understanding of the field. The Handbook of Pharmaceutical Biotechnology presents a thoughtful and thorough guide to keeping pace in this evolving industry.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Examine the global pharmaceutical industry and the effect of national, regulatory, economic, and market environments on the competitiveness of the industry! This unique book is the only empirical study that examines the effects of the national environment on the competitiveness of a country's pharmaceutical industry. This informative book explores such topics as the types of comparative advantages that firms use for developing competitive advantages and what strategic choices firms should make when collaborating with international firms. Public policy implications with respect to the economic environment are also discussed to give you a complete look at the international pharmaceutical industry. Global Competitiveness in the Pharmaceutical Industry recognizes pharmaceutical industries as being of great social and public importance to all countries, since so many life saving drugs have emerged from pharmaceutical laboratories over the past four decades. By helping to combat many fatal diseases and eradicate others, drug producers have helped to positively alter mortality patterns in many parts of the world, thus making companies compete to provide many important medicines. The unique research presented in this book examines the determinants of global competitive advantage in the pharmaceutical industry by answering such questions as: Which factors stimulate or inhibit a nation's pharmaceutical industry to be globally innovative? Which factors stimulate or inhibit diffusion of pharmaceutical innovations (NECs) into its markets? Are there differences between industrialized and developing countries with respect to factors that affect innovation and global competitiveness in the pharmaceutical industry? Global Competitiveness in the Pharmaceutical Industry makes several theoretical, empirical, and methodological contributions which lead to results and generate important managerial and public policy implications. You will find a comprehensive overview of the nature of global competition in the pharmaceutical industry and its evolution in the post World War II period. Global Competitiveness in the Pharmaceutical Industry provides you with an in-depth understanding of the dynamics and importance of the global pharmaceutical market.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Social and Behavioral Aspects of Pharmaceutical Care takes known social and behavioral science principles and applies them to pharmacy practice. This allows readers who are training to deliver or already delivering pharmaceutical care to enhance their communication, counseling, and patient education skills. While working through this superb text, students and practitioners will develop optimal skills as problemsolvers, therapeutic consultants, patient educators, and counselors as they learn how to enhance patient compliance, negate stigma, and help patients become more comfortable with their medical situations. The instructor?s manual that comes with the text is filled with exercises that highlight the most important aspects of each chapter and engages readers in the content of each chapter. Readers who approach this text with a real desire to better understand how behavior links to the complexities of an individual?s or social group?s actions and deeds will find it exhilarating reading as they gain a better understanding of and appreciation for pharmaceutical care and its behavioral underpinnings. Also, instead of offering only a few definitive answers, Social and Behavioral Aspects of Pharmaceutical Care contains extensive descriptions of phenomena known to be true but which are all subject to change when new variables are introduced. This helps readers become more aware of and comfortable with the “gray” areas of pharmacy. Authors in Social and Behavioral Aspects of Pharmaceutical Care take pieces of the complex web of pharmaceutical care, describe known microcosmic components of such care, and then relate the pieces back to the integrity of the web. Readers will find that the behavior of the patient, the prescriber, the systems that allow for these interactions, and, ultimately, the outcomes of medication use are in fact, not as simple as they may appear. Readers learn to deal with these complexities by improving their interactive skills in these areas: compliance placebos medication stigma self-medication health beliefs opinion information professionalism socialization nonmedical drug use public health illness behavior sick role how attitudes affect behaviors ethics Using this text in pharmaceutical administration, social pharmacy, and behavioral pharmacy courses better prepares training pharmacists for contemporary and future roles that more closely bind them to their patients and their prescribing community. It offers an excellent, comprehensive overview of the social-economic aspect of pharmaceutical care through its theoretical models and practical examples that elaborate on the pharmacist?s role in identifying patients’non-compliant behavior and in managing other drug-related problems. Undergraduate and graduate pharmacy students; pharmacy school, drug company, and health science center libraries; practicing retail and hospital pharmacists; and national, state, and local pharmacy associations will find Social and Behavioral Aspects of Pharmaceutical Care an important addition to their reading material as it serves as a valuable developmental tool for both students and practicing professionals.

Book excerpt: Despite the growing interest in biodiversity as a source of valuable new products and biochemical information, there have been very few systematic efforts to estimate the value of preserving biological resources for this purpose. Drugs of Natural Origin gives you a detailed model of the value of wild biological resources for pharmaceutical research and development. Author Anthony Artuso presents several decision models and analytical techniques that you can use to assess the economics of biochemical prospecting efforts whether you’re part of a private corporation, nonprofit research institute, developing country government, or international organization. Drugs of Natural Origin explores the policy options available to developing countries and international organizations to tap into the emerging market for biological resources in such a way as to provide both incentives for conservation of biodiversity and new opportunities for economic development. You’ll find evaluations of a range of proactive strategies that can be used to protect and enhance developing countries’biological resources. In addition, you’ll learn about a bioeconomic model that incorporates the potential biochemical and genetic value of a diverse ecosystem into land use planning and development. Developing country and international policymakers will find Drugs of Natural Origin a useful tool for determining how best to conserve biodiversity, while sustainably developing biological resources. This book outlines a comprehensive and integrated set of policy measures, research and development initiatives, and financing arrangements that could increase biochemical research activity while providing incentives for conservation of biodiversity and a potential path for sustainable development. Managers of pharmaceutical R&D programs will use the decision models developed in Drugs of Natural Origin to plan, evaluate, and continually refine their R&D programs. The book’s theoretic framework provides you with an analytical tool for systematically evaluating critical decisions at each stage of the R&D process. Thus, you learn to incorporate both subjective assessments and quantitative data into a comprehensive framework for R&D decisionmaking.
