thanks... I went back to another doctor, did all the tests and scan, still HIV negative.. But they said i have malaria... But is it not malaria that i have been treating since 2019,how come it's still there

You haven't been properly treated. They keep loading you with ACTs when it's obvious you need something better and more drastic. I would have recommended some drugs for you here but it's unethical for me to do that. Go to a good hospital or pharmacy and talk to a pharmacist.

All these news will not deter me from contesting political offices anytime I want to!

I propose a robust mechatronics syllabus.
It has potential to bridge the productivity gap in Africa. When whites abolished slave trades, it was due to the evolution of technology and industrial revolution. Mechatronics is too vital for us to ignore.

Much ado about almighty Mechatronics!

Vdsc:
Just imagine that guy.

Someone with a PhD in mechatronics, process control or astrophysics has done less work than a doctor?

Madness on nairaland.

Even medical doctors cannot cope with those disciplines.
The IQ requited for doctorates there is more than what is required in the usual medical field.

You're wrong and I still stand on my submission.

If you talk about PhD in mechatronics, I might agree with you after confirming the PhD thesis and quality of work done by the student as authentic.

If it's about all these copy and paste kind of PhD holders we have in all Whatnots, then it's rubbish to even begin drawing a comparison between them and the well rounded medical, dental and pharmacy graduates.

Ganduje is taking this matter too far. Elections have come and gone and fortunately for him, him won! So, why not let Sanusi be
He seems to forget that his tenure as governor ends in 2023 and that whatever actions he take against Sanusi can be corrected by the governor.

His kind of death is what you get in a country where wicked selfish rulers have refused to take holistic steps towards revamping our health sector. They keep playing politics with our health sector, forgetting that they too can be victims.

Are they building the wall of Jericho


Haba!

Of course anybody can own a pharmacy but such pharmacy must be licensed by a qualified pharmacist who is also expected to be present at all times as superintendent pharmacist to control drug dispensing.

Some people might think that this is Nigeria and so anybody can do anything. But when PCN seals your shop and all the drugs get expired, you'll count your losses and maybe then you'll realize that following the simple legal procedure doesn't hurt.

When love is equal, the scale balances well

When love is not equal, there will be issues like,
Nagging
Everything becomes a fault
Anger
Frustration on one side
Unhappiness
Depression
Hatred
Dislike

Then what happens, separation comes in leading to broken home

Love must be equal for you to feel exactly what and how she feels

"Love" is NEVER equal!!!

If you're waiting for equal love before getting married,,, you go wait taya!

And in my unbiased opinion, I think the man should be the one to love his wife more because his has the responsibility to provide and protect the family.
If the lady is the one who's more "in love", the man may abandon his responsibilities along the way leaving the woman to cater for the children.

One thing I know for sure is that as someone from another tribe living in igboland, you'll live peacefully and sleep with both eyes closed because nobody is going to discriminate against you because you are not Igbo

The lie detector in me says that this story is not true!


Another fabrication from the mind of whoever fabricated it.

Are you alright I agreed with you that pharmacists are in charge of anything? When and where?

Guy the primary people involved in drug development have been chemists ,biochemists, doctors who have also been pharmacologists

Drug manufacture is more a pharmacology function and often pharmacologists are doctors
Friedrich Sertürner was a chemist

Now drugs have gone beyond chemistry to involve immunology, genetics and biological agents. This is way beyond the knowledge of pharmacists
Many HODs in Pharmacology in Nigeria are doctors

Sorry again bro! You're irredeemably lost!

Continue in your delusion, it'll not change what's already accepted worldwide.

I would have advised you to pick a typical pharmacy school curriculum to enlighten yourself, but it's obvious you don't want to learn!


Again, your delusion changes nothing!

Good night

0monnak0da:
You are talking total bullshit?

You are a complete ignoramus

You think throwing around big words makes you smart?

What exactly is a department of pharmaceutics or pharmaceutic technology and how many can you name in Nigeria
The job of a Pharmacist is NOT to make drugs
There are many different disciplines involved in the manufacture of drugs
Chemists are scientists involved in the manufacture of many chemical drugs
Microbiologists are involved in the manufacture of agents especially those that are produces by other organisms like antibiotics
Then there are vaccines of different kinds usually developed by doctors/virologists etc
There are new advances in genetics and immunology with agents developed by genetics experts etc

Drug development is complex and constantly changing but the pharmacologist is a relatively insignificant player.

The role of the pharmacist depending on whether it is community or Hospital (clinical) has very little to do with drug development and manufacture

That is the essence of pharmacology which draws in chemists, biochemists,doctors,toxicologists,immunologists microbiologists etc


Penicillin was discovered by Alexander Fleming a doctor and pharmacologist he was not a Pharmacist

I could go on and on about drugs developed by doctors/pharmacologists

Pharmacists are glorified storekeepers

Pharmacists have been involved in research and the following are just some of the notable discoveries and inventions by pharmacists :

1. Coca cola drink was invented by a pharmacist.

2. Morphine which is an opioid analgesic was also discovered by a pharmacist

The list goes on

Meanwhile, drug researches and development is a multidisciplinary exercise.
At least, you have agreed with me that pharmacists are in charge of drug manufacturing which is an entirely different exercise from paper discovery...

0monnak0da:
You are obviously a young man with little experience of real life
You are still stuck in the undergraduate mindset

So Pharmacy is a drug manufacturing discipline?? Is that what you want people here to believe?

Sorry mate that is just wrong.

Well, pharmacy is the only discipline where students are exposed to 4 solid years of extensive training on drug manufacturing in a department of pharmaceutics and pharmaceutical technology. It is the only discipline students learn how to make drugs into different dosage forms like tablets, capsules, powders, injectables, pastes, ointments, creams, syrups etc. Lest i forget, they start from raw materials sourcing in pharmacognosy, to synthesis and analysis in pharm chem, and then ensuring that the products meet microbiological standards in pharm microbiology!

If the above is not training on drug manufacturing, then I wonder what is!

You definitely don't know what's going on in pharmacy training, so I'll suggest you stop arguing on what you have no knowledge about.

0monnak0da:
Your post reveals your immaturity .
It is clear from your post how old you are .

You cover your ignorance with bombastic talk

What exactly is "dosage form" "pharmaceutics" "pharmaceutic technology" and how are they exclusive preserve of pharmacists

You are the one that needs to keep quiet and stop talking rubbish.

For your information many doctors after graduating go on to be clinical pharmacologists I have never seen any go on to be pharmacists

Pharamacologists work in big firms like Pfizer Novartis etc researching and developing drugs with many performing core clinical roles and many are physicians.
Pharmacists are NOT pharmaceutical technicians so stop trying to mislead people.

Sorry!!!

Keep entertaining us with your ignorance!
Those who really know what's up would be laughing at you while reading your trashy posts here!

I know you're totally ignorant of what it entails to make drug into a quality product, it's obvious from your posts!

Continue in your delusion that after studying medicine ( abi BSc pharmacology sef), then pharmaceutical industries would employ you over a pharmacist with your 8 months lectures on BASIC pharmacology. You'll soon come to terms with reality!

It's either you're a 100 level medical student who has not yet understood what's up or you're a pharmacology student who is seriously wishing he/she can change the globally established standard and become a pharmacist through the backdoor.

FlordFlorez:
I disagree with u. In the olden days, the health givers are known as herbalists. They do the work of diagnose (physician), care (nursing) and give out prepared herbal mixtures (pharmacy) until the diversification. Their name only changed to Pharmacologists. Infact, kudos should be given to then than pharmacists because they are the source of drugs. Its like giving kudos to a marketer of a product than its manufacturer.

Your ignorance is legendary!

With what knowledge will a pharmacologist formulate drugs into different dosage forms When they have absolutely no knowledge of pharmaceutics and pharmaceutical technology Nor a sound knowledge of pharmaceutical chemistry?? Not to talk of pharmacognosy

Please, if you have no understanding of a topic, try and keep off instead of exposing your ignorance!!!

Just tell us you have a gigolo, we'll understand!

For crying out loud, why would Buhari delegate so much power to this Garba Shehu of a man Isn't it a sign that Buhari is not in control of this government??


When some of us campaigned against Buhari during the election, some nairaland miscreants said we hated him. Isn't it obvious that the man should be relaxing in Daura at this age and not come anywhere near political power

One problem with Nigerians is that they don't like being told the truth!
They prefer you sugarcoat the reality for them so that they can continue to live in fool's Paradise.

0monnak0da:
Pharmacology is as old as humanity

You obviously haven't read the history of pharmacology.
It is a 19th century course created mainly for research!

Obaseki go soon learn lesson

The moment i saw some Nairaland monikers and usernames hailing Obaseki, i really felt sorry for him, because he is about to get pushed off like they did to Saraki and Dino

..

You'll soon realize that Edo is not Lagos...

make Bini boys catch Osbomole first

TollinsN:
Pharmacologist are the ones that does the drug research, extract drugs and chemicals from plants, use white rats to test those drugs to know if they are fit for human consumption and then make them into tablets, capsules, syrups, injections etc.
Pharmacists are the one that deals with drugs interactions (i.e. Which of the drugs can be used with another without side effects.), So also drugs dispensation and marketing.

Make them into tablets, capsules what


Pharmacologists have little or nothing to do with drugs formulation and compounding! Those are the core jobs of pharmacists!

Pharmacology is a relatively young discipline which arose due to need to produce teachers and researchers of the course to the medical professionals.

rinzylee:
Baba please hide your identity o. I can call out a lot of illegal patent medicine stores and Pharmacies ooo, but there's no witness protection in this Country. Be safe Brother!!!

I am equal to the trouble I make

If you must study Pharmacology, try and make up your mind on furthering your education up to PhD level so you can get a chance to be employed as a lecturer.

Not after taking the shortcut you'll start constituting nuisance to the noble pharmacy profession!

Pharmacology is the scientific study of how drugs work in a living system.

Pharmacy is the science and art of formulating, compounding, packaging, distributing and dispensing of drugs. It also encompasses laws and regulations guiding use of drugs. Pharmacology is just one of the six departments that make up pharmacy. You must have drugs first before talking about how it works in the body!

Pharmacy is a 5 year program for B.pharm and a 6year program for pharm.D
After graduation, pharmacy graduates are licensed to practice as pharmacists.

Pharmacology on the other hand is a 4year BSc program and after graduation, Pharmacology graduates are expected to proceed up to PhD before they can gain sufficient knowledge to research on and teach Pharmacology.
Some pharmacists also toe that same path of obtaining PhD in Pharmacology and lecturing/researching on the subject of Pharmacology.

In summary, a pharmacologist is NOT a pharmacist, so tell your sister to write JAMB until she gets admitted into pharmacy. No shortcuts to it!

The energy he would have used to score a real goal was channeled into scoring a different kind of goal.



All na goal sha

Jman06:
Kudos to Dr Abayomi! That's a learned man that knows what's up.


I wish other state governments can copy Lagos state in terms of healthcare regulation.

Come to Edo state and see the mess going on there! One bros that sells trams to cultists in broad daylight right in front of big pharmacies and no one does anything about it. If you enter the shop sef, the kind drugs there ehn and the extremely poor storage condition, you'll wonder if anything like PCN exists in Edo state.

It's too bad!!!!

Well, I just discovered that the 2 ''trams shops " I alluded to in my post above have been sealed!!!


Kudos to the men that did the job!



Power of social media!!!

LabDNA:
You are not wise.

When a group of professionals at the state ministry of health push out the pharmacists in PCN and usurp your regulatory roles hope you won't come here and start lamenting?

The PCN should have state offices funded and active in their regulatory duties. Pharmaceutical services are purely federal business to be carried out by Pharmaceutical council of Nigeria in collaboration with PSN, to the best of my knowledge.

Have you read the Anti-quakery bill that a gruop of professionals are pushing at the federal level where they are trying to usurp and regulate the roles of other health professionals through the back doors?

Be careful what you wish for.

What I care about is anything to regulate the sector properly!

If PCN and PSN wants to fold their arms and watch things go awry, na them sabi.
I'm leaving this country soon sha

rinzylee:
What would be said of Pharmacists who hire and train sales boys and girls and eventually set some of them up to operate their own drug stores after some years of serving under them?

The Purge needs to start from within!

No one is spared!

That is why the government needs to do more to regulate everyone.
Those pharmacists are doing that because they know that the regulation is poor. Once regulation becomes stiffer, they'll have no choice than to conform.

Meanwhile, in this country it takes so much discipline for a pharmacist not to join in the illegalities going on. Imagine suffering so much in school and studying all the dos and don'ts only to come out and see illiterates freely selling all the drugs you were taught are CONTROLLED drugs. You turn back an addict who comes to buy a drug, only for him to enter the next "chemist" store and buy the same drug. My brother, after having such experience for a few months, it is natural for some pharmacists to join, and when they do, it becomes bloodier!

That is why government should step up regulation!

LabDNA:
Revenue generating strategy cloaked in the garb of regulation.

Pharmaceuticals is in the federal exclusive list but lagos state keeps meddling in it, even though it is beyond their scope of regulation.

Shut the hell up!

Isn't it obvious that federal government has failed in terms of pharmaceutical regulations How many times in a year do PCN go on inspection They don't go often due to paucity of funds!

So, it is better that states get involved in the regulation just like Lagos is doing. Since the federal government doesn't seem to understand the importance of pharmaceutical regulations on the overall healthcare delivery.

Kudos to Dr Abayomi! That's a learned man that knows what's up.
