Challenges in manufacturing complex generics 

The manufacturing of advanced therapy drugs involves both technological and regulatory advancements.

The hurdles faced in manufacturing complex therapeutics include-

Technical complexity – 

Manufacturing complex products requires complex equipment and advanced technology.

It requires multi-step controls and testing compared to standard medicines.

Clinical studies required – The development of a complex system requires human trials compared to a conventional drug system.

Patent hurdles – Manufacturing device combination may include a patent or copyright for the use of a device component or parts.

Undeveloped regulatory standards – The regulatory systems are not developed to approve advanced drugs. It leads to delays and failures.

Scale up and process consistency – scaling up complex manufacturing processes and maintaining consistency add up to the rigor.

The development of complex therapeutics requires high investment costs.

Aprazer Healthcare is the leading manufacturer of complex generics.

With world-class infrastructure, Aprazer Healthcare aligns with the latest technological advancements.

Managing the chronic diseases that damage the kidneys.

Awareness is a proactive measure towards prevention

CKD has no symptoms in the early stages.

Regular screening becomes important for people at high risk.

Elderly and those with diabetes or BP should necessarily have a routine kidney checkup.

Munching on a chocolate bar or grabbing a pair of chips, the youngsters are unaware of getting trapped in a chronic syndrome.

Fatty liver is silently hitting the youth. It is no longer a disease confined to old age.

It is rapidly rising, affecting the majority of young girls and boys at the age of school or college.

The conundrum is that the condition remains silent.

The condition gradually reaches the advanced stages.

Know the fatty liver disorder – 

It is a chronic liver condition.

It starts from the accumulation of fat in the liver.

It can cause tissue scarring and advanced liver disorder.

The high amount of fat can cause inflammation.

It causes tissue injury.

What are the fatty liver types? 

Alcoholic Fatty Liver – 

Fatty liver is usually caused by alcohol.

Alcohol reduces fat metabolism.

It causes fat deposits in the liver.

Non Alcoholic Fatty Liver – 

The accumulation of fat in the liver is due to metabolic dysfunction.

The liver function gets impaired due to –

• Obesity
• Diabetes
• High lipids

Why is fatty liver disease happening more in the young? 

Lifestyle is the leading factor.

The prolonged hours of desk jobs combined with processed food.

Use of excessive salts and sugars.

Poor sleep habits combine to cause-

•  Metabolic dysfunction.
• Distorts glucose metabolism
• Disrupts fat breakdown

Fatty liver causes other than alcohol- 

Obesity/excess weight –  

The excess fat settles in the liver tissues.

It can lead to inflammation.

It often causes insulin resistance.

Poor diet – 

The high intake of processed food.

The extra calories get accumulated as fat.

The body is unable to metabolize glucose. It deposits in the form of fat.

Metabolic disorders – 

These interfere with insulin sensitivity.

Inhibits fat breakdown.

It causes excess fat production and its accumulation in the liver.

Physical inactivity- 

Due to reduced physical activity, the fat is not metabolized or burned.

The fat gets stored in the liver.

It leads to liver dysfunction.

Rapid weight loss diets- 

It overloads the liver to burn excessive fats.

It causes inflammation.

Fat breakdown causes fatty acid influx.

It can cause nutritional deficiency.

It causes the liver to work hard.

What are symptoms of fatty liver? 

At an early stage the fatty liver does not show symptoms.

It progresses to form advanced disease.

• Fatigue and weakness
• Abdominal pain
• Fluid retention
• Loss of appetite
• Unusual weight loss

The treatment and medicines used in fatty liver –

The fatty liver can be reversed by changing lifestyle and habits.

Improving diet and exercise can cause a reversal.

The advanced stages include the use of liver supportive medicines like –

Udikast 300 – Ursodeoxycholic acid tablets

Ocabest 10 – Obeticholic acid tablets

We wish every child born is safe and healthy. Reaching the global platform, we ensure affordable treatment reaches the needed.

The hepatitis B virus in the mother is unsafe for the newborn.

It can be easily transmitted.

Having hepatitis B previously increases the risk manifold.

The virus remains dormant for years.

It may not show in the blood, but the liver cells significantly have the virus.

Even people who have no viral symptoms are at risk of transmission.

Unknowingly, it gets transferred to the newborn.

Timely diagnosis and prevention become crucial.

Can we prevent Hepatitis B transmission from mother to child? 

Screening – The mother needs to get screened for viral loads before planning a pregnancy.

The women with high viral loads must start antiviral treatment.

Antiviral treatment – The antiviral medicine consists of regular use of tenofovir.

It starts from the 3rd trimester.

It extends several months after delivery.

The prophylactic antiviral drug widely used during Hepatitis B pregnancy –

Tenofovir Alafenamide tablets – Tafsure, Tafnext 

It is the newer generation drug to reduce (hepatitis B) viral load in pregnancy.

It has targeted action. It reduces the viral count in the liver.

It has a better safety profile.

It has less renal toxicity.

It has low bone loss side effects.

Post birth treatment- Immediately after birth, the child is given immunoglobulin shots.

The first vaccine must be given within 12 hours.

The neonate should be given 2 or more vaccines within a time frame.

The course should be completed.

The child should be monitored after every vaccine dose.

The regular monitoring should be done annually.

Can a hepatitis B mother breastfeed the baby?

It is generally safe to breastfeed the child.

The virus is transmitted through – blood, body fluid, or semen.

It does not pass in milk.

Nipples should not be cracked.

They must not have open sores or bleed.

Conclusion – 

Hepatitis B transmission from mother to child can be highly prevented.

Early screening becomes mandatory.

It helps identify and rectify the hepatitis B transmission.

Proper vaccination and prophylactic treatment can significantly reduce the risk of transmission to zero.

The Risk Factors for UTI and Kidney Infections

Delayed treatment is the major reason that leads to renal damage.

1. Females have a short urethra. It can ease the bacterial travel to the kidneys.

In older women, UTIs are common. It is due to the hormonal decline and weakened pelvic floor.

Recurrent infection leads to the kidney.

2. An obstruction to the urinary flow increases the risk of infection.

The blockage can be caused by –

Kidney stone or enlarged prostate

3. Children are prone to UTI infections. It happens due to –

Constipation

Urinary obstruction

Vesicoureteral Reflux- back flow of the urine

4. Medical conditions –

Diseases like diabetes, HIV. It lowers immunity.

It elevates the risk of getting a severe infection.

5. Multiple infections-

When an infection occurs again and again, it causes an additive effect.

It leads to an injury in the kidney.

It can lead to scarring.

6. The long-term use of a catheter can also increase the risk.

It directly opens a passage for bacteria.

7. Unhygienic conditions –

Using public toilets.

Not clearly washing the pubic area.

Not changing intimate clothing.

Why is a Kidney Infection a Serious Condition?
