E-DRUG: use of new antibiotics in Indian setting (3) ---------------------------------------------------- Dear Dr Mrs Walavalkar, This is in reply to Dr. Mrs walavalker in rest to here reply to Sanjay Saluja's letter for the said in subject You have forgotten the basic principle of �survey�: it is always calculated on the basis of masses and designed to find out the ground reality of the subject (survey), and it has always to be kept in mind that the outcome should be �generalized�, not to advocate some �interests�. There is no possibility that you are not aware of the physicians Rx abuse for products. You accept it or not; the reason is best known to you. This abuse is not due to the inadequate knowledge of prescribing, but failure of institutes like drug departments who are unable to develop a framework for implementation and check on �rational usage of drugs� programs, which are professionally designed by WHO and successfully implemented in many countries, to keep tag on the marketing strategies of the products developed by pharmaceutical manufacturers, which is also a �key� job responsibility of the drug department beside on �quality� assurance. This is a done in the known manner under the influence of pharmaceutical lobby to give a free hand for mass consumption of their product. Any view point on this is further welcome . s.s.kamboj Amritsar India pharmacist\_in@yahoo.com -- To send a message to E-Drug, write to: e-drug@healthnet.org To subscribe or unsubscribe, write to: majordomo@healthnet.org in the body of the message type: subscribe e-drug OR unsubscribe e-drug To contact a person, send a message to: e-drug-help@healthnet.org Information and archives: [http://www.essentialdrugs.org/edrug](http://www.essentialdrugs.org/edrug)
