๐๐จโโ๏ธIn a concerning decision that prioritizes profit over public health, India's National Pharmaceutical Pricing Authority (NPPA) has raised prices by 50% on essential medications for asthma, glaucoma, thalassemia, tuberculosis, and mental health disorders.
This increase affects 11 critical formulations.
๐Benzylpenicillin (10 lakh IU injection)
๐Atropine injection (0.6 mg per ml)
๐Streptomycin powder (for injection 750 mg and 1000 mg)
๐Salbutamol tablets (2 mg and 4 mg)
๐Respirator solution (5 mg per ml)
๐Pilocarpine 2% drops
๐Cefadroxil tablets (500 mg)
๐Desferrioxamine (500 mg for injection)
๐Lithium tablets (300 mg)
This move places an additional financial burden on vulnerable patients and underscores the urgent need for policies that ensure equitable access to life-saving treatments, rather than allowing corporate interests to dictate healthcare outcomes.

To contain the diphtheria outbreak in the Deeg district of Rajasthan, teams of the state health department and World Health Organization (WHO) have landed in the district and started vaccination.
About Diphtheria:
It is a serious contagious bacterial infection of the nose and throat.
It is caused by strains of bacteria called Corynebacterium diphtheriae that make a toxin.
Transmission:
โข It can spread from person to person, usually through respiratory droplets, like from coughing or sneezing.
โข People can also get sick from touching infected open sores or ulcers.
The bacteria can also infect the skin, causing open sores or ulcers. However, diphtheria skin infections rarely result in severe disease.
โข Although diphtheria can be treated with medications, in advanced stages, the bacterial infection can damage the heart, kidneys and nervous system.
Symptoms:
โข Typical symptoms of the infection include a sore throat, fever, swollen neck glands and weakness.
โข Within 2-3 from infection, the dead tissue in the respiratory tract forms a thick, grey coating that can cover tissues in the nose, tonsils and throat, making it hard to breathe and swallow.
Treatments
โซ neutralization of unbound toxin with Diphtheria Antitoxin (DAT)
โข antibiotics to prevent further bacterial growth;
โข monitoring and supportive care to prevent and treat complications, e.g. airway obstruction, myocarditis.
