Framework for Establishing National Guidelines for Pharmacists in Combating Counterfeit Medicines:
Providing the tools for pharmacists to fight counterfeit medicines for the benefit of their patients’ health
WHO defines counterfeit medicine as a product which is “deliberately and fraudulently mislabeled with respect to identity and/or source”. Counterfeiting can apply to both branded and generic products and counterfeit products may include products with the correct ingredients or with the wrong ingredients, without active ingredients, with insufficient active ingredients or with fake packaging. Because of the potential risks of counterfeit medicines for public and individual health, pharmacists have been involved for many years in the fight against counterfeit medicines and their harmful consequences.

Depression can damage a cancer patient's chances of survival, a review of research suggests.
The University of British Columbia team said the finding emphasised the need to screen cancer patients carefully for signs of psychological distress.
The study, a review of 26 separate studies including 9,417 patients, features in the journal Cancer.
It found death rates were up to 25% higher in patients showing symptoms of depression.
In patients actually diagnosed with major or minor depression, death rates were up to 39% higher.

Australian scientists have developed a "trojan horse" therapy to combat cancer, using a bacterially-derived nano cell to penetrate and disarm the cancer cell before a second nano cell kills it with chemotherapy drugs. Australian scientists have developed a "trojan horse" therapy to combat cancer, using a bacterially-derived nano cell to penetrate and disarm the cancer cell before a second nano cell kills it with chemotherapy drugs.
The "trojan horse" therapy has the potential to directly target cancer cells with chemotherapy, rather than the current treatment that sees chemotherapy drugs injected into a cancer patient and attacking both cancer and healthy cells.
