Quackery in pakistan : govt is responsible : no availability of certain drugs ,exhorbitant prices of others
hi
i would like u people to shed some light on this very immportant oissue of quackery,,
once u set o any intercity journey in pakistan themost abundant signs are those promoting male virility or power.. you would see almost every other house wall inscribed with the advantages or capabilities of one unani or other drug,, the reaso happens to be the fact that male impotence was not only a taboo subject but also was a condition for which there didnt existed any good easy trreatement,,so the quacks used this time to settle themselves as the only ones able to treat these conditiomns ,, i,e in absence of proper drugs the quacks monopolized this area ,, now the drugs that these quacks use are mostly steroid whiuch are very dangroous..
long and short of the story after the inception of vrious pde5 inhibitor bassed treatements for such conditions quackery still is very high, reason is that there is no cheap pde5 based drug currently available in pakistan , ,though viagra is registered according to various media reports but it is very difficuilt o obtain one or even if u get one it cots pkrs 350 per 100mg tablet,, and still u wont be sure whether it ias genuine or not.. and the m,atter of fact is that almost 40 % of the drugs sold in pakistan are fake.. now if we look into the situation of india there u can also see quackery but at least people are not squeazed on both sides like here in pakistan,, cauz there are local cheaper pde 5 based drugs and they priced between 12-25 INR...
looking at other areas such as neuroscience
yesterday i was travelling in a suzuki carriage in public transport and there a woman boarded the van , she had a little girl along with her her age was maybe 7-8 years and she was accompained by her husband ,, he little girl seemed very impulsive,restless and hyperactive ,,the man satr besides me and after some time asked me about certain peer , it happened that his mazar was nown to me cauz it wasnear oyur college and we would pray zohar numaz there adter college was over so i told him the location and i asked him y he was going there he told thayt his dsughter is ver naughty and wants to have a dam taveez for her,, ,, my friend sitting besides me who was studying psychology after a brief chat with them told them that she is suffering from adhd,, and there is a treatyement to it but these ppl probably had no trust in docs they said we havbe been to many psychiatrists and psychologists they showed the papers and they were given many drugs such as stimulants ritalim, ,, and various others ,, my friend afterwards told me that for such conditionm there are more thn a dozen meds and only very few are here ,, and unfortunately many more nw and effective are not either registered here are are very expensive ,,infacvt many are not available,, such as desipramine,atomoxetine, dexmethylphenidate ,dextroamphetamine,dextromethamphetamine,lisdexamfetamine ,and some drugs that may be used though they are not currently first limne of drugs such as Clonidine,Pemoline,Reboxetine,Modafinil, etc,, none of these meds are avaolable thus limiting the choicwe of treatement to very few and if they do not achieve desired results parents just loose hope so puts the little lives t the mercy of these damsazzzzz,,,
just rcently a news item was circulating that 40,000+ drugs will be registered under pressure ,,
[oh btw a drug for female breast cancer called femara costs approx 6000 pkr whareas the same in india it costs 150 rs for the same qty ,,
