The New Year is the perfect occasion to appreciate all the good things that the past year has given us and all the good things that are yet to come. The start of the new year is an especially relevant time for student journaling and refl ec-tion activities. As we prepare for the next year, we should encourage students to refl ect on their success in the previous year and their goals for the new year. Though journaling might seem like a simple endeavor, the practice can have a profound impact on a student’s learning process. Journaling allows students to refl ect and consider their own ideas in a format that is both structured and creative. When students write, they enjoy the freedom of expression and the opportunity to explore. These invaluable skills will serve them as they move on to more advanced concepts in the classroom and in life. Through refl ections and resolutions, they will be ready to take on new challenges in the new year. Assist students aim for their goals with new year’s journal prompts. Wish you all good luck and Happy New Year.

VIEWPOINTEducation for Sustainable Development (ESD)

Sushilkumar PL, BPC, Davengere

The great western philosopher and German educa-tionist Pestalozzi, “Education is the natural, harmonious progressive development of man’s innate powers “It has strong association with culture and traditions of society. It is one of the significant factors instrumental to the develop-ment of a country.” ESD allows every human being to acquire the

knowledge, skills, values and attitudes that empower them to contribute to sustainable development and take informed decisions and responsible actions for environmental integrity, economic viability, and a just society for present and future generations. ESD promotes skills like critical thinking, understanding complex systems, imagining future scenarios, and making decisions in a participatory and collabora-tive way (UNESCO, 2014b: 33).Education for Sustainable Development (ESD) is commonly understood as education that encourag-es changes in knowledge, skills, values and attitudes to enable a more sustainable and just society for all. ESD aims to empower and equip current and future generations to meet their needs using a balanced and integrated approach to the economic, social and environmental dimensions of sustainable develop-ment. The concept of ESD was born from the need for education to address the growing environmen-tal challenges facing the planet. In order to do this, education must change to provide the knowledge, skills, values and attitudes that empower learners to contribute to sustainable development. At the same time, education must be strengthened in all agendas, programmes and activities that promote sustainable development. In short, sustainable development must be integrated into education and education must be integrated into sustainable development. ESD is holistic and transformational education and concerns learning content and outcomes, pedagogy and the learning environment (UNESCO, 2014). With regards to learning content such as curricula, the complex sustainability challenges facing societies cut across boundaries and multiple thematic areas. Education must therefore address key issues such as climate change, poverty and sustainable production. ESD promotes the integration of these critical sus-tainability issues in local and global contexts into the curriculum to prepare learners to understand and re-spond to the changing world. ESD aims to produce learning outcomes that include core competencies such as critical and systemic thinking, collaborative decision-making, and taking responsibility for pres-ent and future generations. In order to deliver such diverse and evolving issues, ESD uses innovative pedagogy, encouraging teaching and learning in an


interactive, learner centred way that enables explor-atory, action-oriented and transformative learning. Learners are enabled to think critically and system-atically develop values and attitudes for a sustain-able future.Teaching pedagogy has to come out from the walls of classroom and give space and time to the ‘‘New Thinker’’ to think about new ideas in the way the brain his /her brain can think of. This requires the curriculum to be more diverse and open to allow the ‘‘New Thinker’’ to come up with ideas and solution which are sustainable and economical. They should be given time and space to explore on ideas in an lib-eralised environment .As the New Learner is tech-nology and social media savvy they have a wider exchange platform to share and develop ideas. In-ternational Technology and design exchange should be promoted by institutes so as to expose the new learner to the latest updated technological advanc-es so that they are able to create new ideas which are competitive on world platform and are able to do frugal innovation by consuming less resource and produce substantial outcome.Cope (2010) states that the today’s learner do not want to be just passive listeners of the textbook knowledge. They want to be participative, innova-tors, risk takers creative learner who want to give solution to problemsEducation is not a mechanical activity of informa-tion transmission and teachers atr not information dispensers, but in present scenario, teachers and teachers educators have become vending machines that have no sense of product.ESD promotes holistic and transformational educa-tion. This type of education addresses learning con-tent and outcomes, innovative pedagogy and ‘learn-ing by doing’, and uses a whole-school approach to engage communities in achieving sustainable change.

Patient Counseling – A Neglected ActSumanyu, Pharm D

In the preceding week, we commemorated the 58th

national pharmacy week with a keynote called as ‘Pharmacists: Your medical counselor’. The week was enlightening and successful to deliver the es-sence of the theme. This article is an attempt to ex-

press my opinions about the state of counseling in In-dia and need of a clinical pharmacist in delivering the service of counseling along with the therapy. Med-ical counseling is the salient part in any therapy to empower the psychological and educational aspects of the patient. It helps to improve the acceptability and compatibility of the patient towards the therapy. But the real question arises about the proper prac-tice of medical counseling in India. There are many authorized private organizations which provide the psychosocial counseling services in India. When it comes to the matter of counseling patients in IPD, the probability of instances is low. Although, due to lack of data available in accordance with the practice and evaluation of medical counseling in India, any type of conclusion cannot be conceived. Therefore, I will try to put forth the experiences and observations which I have come across in a hospital. The major misconception that comes to the observation is that the term ‘counseling’ is only referred and required in the cases of mental disorders. Generally, when I observed some patients during the admission, they were anxious about the possible consequences. The most important aspect that I found was the commu-nication gap between the physicians and patient. The physicians converse briefly with the patients only during the admission and initiation of the therapy. The communication gap develops during the course and termination of the therapy where the actual and proper counseling is intended, to resolve the uncer-tainties occurring in the therapy. In order to gather more opinions, I discussed with many patients. Most of them were completely unaware of the disease state and therapy. They blamed the physicians and post graduate students for not providing information. When I questioned some care-givers and the post graduate students about the matter, they blamed the tight schedule patterns and language barrier. As per ‘The Clinical Establishments Act 2010’, every patient has right to adequate relevant information about the nature, cause of illness, proposed investigations and care, expected results of treatment, possible com-plications and expected costs (Patient’s Rights, An-nexure 8). It is pitiful when the healthcare providers


neglect the rights of patient. If the tight schedule pattern is an actual reason, then we need to opt for alternative ways to deal with it. The scope of this ar-ticle is to attempt in finding a solution to fill the gap of communication forming between the physicians and patients.

Promoting the Clinical Pharmacists:

The clinical pharmacists are well-trained drug ther-apists and medical counselors who can provide op-timal healthcare services. They can be doubtless-ly assigned in the assessment and decision making procedures in order to achieve the desired outcomes. Some physicians in the hospital are not approved of the fact that the clinical pharmacists can play a pivotal role in the healthcare system. The concept of involving the clinical pharmacists as a part of healthcare team is already established in developed countries. It needs to be proposed, implemented and evaluated in India too.

Role in Counseling:

As the clinical pharmacists have acquired expertise in drug therapies, their role as counselors is deci-sive. They investigate, assess and produce conclu-sions to eliminate the probable medication errors and improve patient compliance. They can provide intended information to patients about the disease state and treatment. They can provide instructions about the self-management in case of the patients with metabolic disorders. They are the guiding part-ners to patients in enhancing the confidence, posi-tivity and acceptability towards therapy. They will efficiently educate the patients about the lifestyle ha-bituation, disease prevention, risk factors and emer-gency measures. And emotionally, they can establish an unbreakable hope.

Ultimately, there is a need for outright revolution in the healthcare system of India by adopting the stan-dardized and advanced measures created to utilize the skills and knowledge of clinical pharmacists, which are already being welcomed and implemented globally.

Drug Information

Pregabalin

Pregabalin is used for the management of neuropath-ic pain associated with diabetic peripheral neuropathy, postherpetic neuralgia, and as adjunctive therapy for adult patients with partial onset seizuresPregabalin is an anticonvulsant drug used for neuro-pathic pain, epilepsy and generalized anxiety disorder. Although as per the FDA Label the mechanism of ac-tion has not been definitively defined, there is evidence that Pregabalin achieves antihyperalgesic activity by binding to the α2δ subunit of the voltage-dependent cal-cium channels. Pregabalin is marketed by Pfizer under the trade name Lyrica and Lyrica Cr (extended release)It may have dependence liability if misused but the risk appears to be highest in patients with current or past substance use disorders

• Associated Conditions:o Diabetic Peripheral Neuropathic Pain (DPN)o Fibromyalgiao Pain, Neuropathico Postherpetic Neuralgiao Partial onset seizure Epilepsy


Pharmaco-dynamics:

Pregabalin is structurally analogous to the inhibitory neurotransmitter gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA). The molecule exerts it’s effect on voltage gated calcium channels by binding presynaptically to the al-pha-2-delta subunit. Since voltage gated calcium channels are widely distributed throughout the central nervous system, pregabalin is able to modulate the release of several excitatory neurotransmitters such as glutamate, substance-P, norepi-nephrine and calcitonin gene relat-ed peptide. This results in inhibi-tion of overexcited neurons, which ultimately returns them to a normal state of function. As a result, Prega-balin has anticonvulsant, analgesic, anxiolytic and sleep modulating ef-fects.

Mechanism of action:

Although the mechanism of action has not been fully elucidated, studies involving structurally related drugs suggest that the presynaptic binding of pregabalin to voltage-gated calci-um channels is key to the antiseizure and antinociceptive effects observed in animal models By binding pre-synaptically to the alpha2-delta sub-unit of voltage-gated calcium chan-nels in the central nervous system, pregabalin modulates the release of several excitatory neurotransmit-ters. In addition, pregabalin pre-vents the alpha2-delta subunit from being trafficked from the dorsal root ganglia to the spinal dorsal horn which contributes to the blunting of excitatory neurotransmitter release. Interestingly, although pregabalin is a structural derivative of inhibitory neurotransmitter gamma-aminobu-tyric acid (GABA), it does not bind directly to GABA or benzodiaze-pine receptors

Absorption:

Absorption of pregabalin is rapid and extensive reflecting it’s relative-ly quick onset of efficacy. Maximal plasma concentration occurs ~1 hour after administration and steady state occurs within 24-48 hours.

Volume of distribution:

The apparent volume of distribu-tion after oral administration is 0.5 L/kg. It is also likely that Pregaba-lin crosses the blood brain barrier based on evidence from several ani-mal models.

Protein binding:

Pregabalin is not plasma protein bound

Metabolism:In humans, less than 2% of pregab-alin is metabolized and it is excreted virtually unchanged in the urine

Route of elimination:

Pregabalin is mainly renally excret-ed with 98% of the drug eliminated unchanged in the urine, while less than 0.1% of the drug is eliminat-ed through the fecal route. Further, based on preclinical studies, Prega-balin does not appear to undergo racemization to the R enantiomer in the body

Half life: The elimination half life of pregaba-lin is roughly 6 hours

Clearance:

In young healthy subjects the mean renal clearance is estimated to be 67.0 to 80.9 mL mL/min. This renal clearance rate along with the drug’s lack of plasma protein binding sug-gests that renal tubular reabsorption is involved

Toxicity:

In a systematic review that includ-ed 38 randomized controlled trials, there were 20 identified adverse ef-fects that were significantly associ-ated with pregabalin, most of which involve the central nervous system and cognition. The identified ad-verse effects include vertigo, dizzi-ness, balance disorder, incoordina-tion, ataxia, blurred vision, diplopia, amblyopia, somnolence, confusional state, tremor, disturbance in atten-tion, abnormal thinking, asthenia, fatigue, euphoria, edema, peripheral edema, dry mouth, and constipation

Theophrastus –Father of Botany

Theophrastus (about 300 B.C.), among the greatest early Greek philosophers and natural scientists, is called the “father of botany.” His observations and writings dealing with the medical qualities and pecu-liarities of herbs are unusually accurate, even in the light of present knowledge. He lectured to groups of students who walked about with him, learning of nature by observing her treasurers at firsthand. In his hands he holds a branch of belladonna. Behind him are pomegranate blooms, senna, and manuscript scrolls. Slabs of ivory, coated with colored beeswax, served the students as “slates.” Writing was cut into the surface with a stylus.

the ward rounds in the hospital, I have observed many cases with wrong or unintended drugs leading to medication errors. Some of them are: A patient visited the OPD of general medicine, pre-senting the symptoms of fever, rashes with bumps over abdomen, lower and upper extremities. When I performed the medication history interview, it was revealed that the patient consulted an independent dermatologist before with the complaint of irregular rashes and is on oral medication (Dapsone) since 6 months. After fetching the details, it was found that the drug was unintended in this case with unclear di-agnosis. This misguided suggestion led to an adverse event which was confirmed as ‘hemolytic jaundice’. A schizophrenic patient was given the drugs like haloperidol and lithium carbonate which caused an interaction turning to the multiple organ dysfunction syndromes. In a similar context (inappropriate prescribing), one of my relatives consulted a local physician with the complaints of hemorrhoids and the physician ordered the drug tranexamic acid which is actually indicated for post-operative hemorrhage and menor-rhagia. My relative started to experience symptoms like headache and abdominal pain. After the inter-vention, the unintended drug was replaced with di-osmin.These are the instances which occurred by the inap-propriate prescriptions followed by lack of informa-tion and judgment skills. The real concern extends to the villages where the situation is even worse than the developing cities. The probability of incidences of medication errors may be suspected as high when considering the larger population of India. Although, the blame cannot be entirely positioned on the physi-cians as it also rely on the poor regulation policies by the governing bodies. Erroneous Dispensing:

This is the part which runs persistently unmonitored, especially in the independent medical stores. I have visited many medical stores where the people who are working are mostly unqualified undergraduates and moderately educated. The reason behind re-cruiting these people was their poor financial back-ground. Often, I have observed that they dispense

STUDENT DIARYDelivering Safe and Effective Medicines:

Current Situation and Role of Clinical Pharmacists Part (1)Sumanyu, Pharm D

This year we observed the ‘World Pharmacist Day’ with the theme aiming to provide optimum health care facility by ensuring the provision of ‘safe and ef-fective medicines for all’. Since the last two decades, the healthcare is under revolution to achieve the de-sired outcomes and reducing the rate of morbidities. The role of clinical pharmacists is pivotal in accom-plishing the core of the theme. The WHO periodically reviews, evaluates and standardizes the list of essen-tial medicines in order to provide safe and effective medicines in a right way and in a right time. Despite of all the established standard protocols and proce-dures, the incidence rates of deaths due to unsafe therapy is not reducing. It is estimated that the oc-currence of the adverse events and medication errors due to the negligence is one of the 10 leading causes of deaths across the world [1]. The ‘Harvard Global Health Institute’ has analyzed that 5.7 and 8.4 mil-lion deaths occur due to poor quality of healthcare in lower and middle-income countries respectively [2]. A study conducted by the Harvard University de-scribed that nearly 5.2 million deaths occur in India annually due to medical errors attributed to lack of practical knowledge among physicians and nurses in promoting the intended healthcare [3]. During 2012, a study conducted in Delhi observed that 82 out of 1000 prescriptions led to adverse drug events, espe-cially in the age group of 18-30 years [4]. I would like to express opinions based upon my experiences and observation in the matter of medication errors. Med-ications errors can occur due to medical negligence, inappropriate prescriptions, improper dosing or dos-age forms, erroneous dispensing, misusage of OTC drugs, non-specific route of administration, commu-nication barriers, pharmaceutical incognizance, un-monitored polypharmacy etc. Inappropriate Prescription- A precursor to medi-cation errors:

It has been estimated that at least 50% of average family spending on medicines in the country is in-curred on irrational or unnecessary drugs [5].During


the medicines without the prescription to the people who come with their old medicine strips. And many of the people approach the medical stores directly with the complaints of arthralgia, myalgia, headache, fever and cold, instead of consulting the local phy-sicians. Therefore, the blame lies on both the peo-ple and inexperienced dispensers. The community pharmacists should be aware of their responsibility when dispensing the medicines. The problem actual-ly arises due to the lack of awareness in the society about the proper usage of medications, importance of medical consultation and the impact of consuming wrong medicines. In the developed countries, any medicine is not dispensed without a prescription ex-cluding OTC medications (which are only dispensed after obtaining relevant information). This type of regulated system is required to be incorporated in our society to establish a safe and ethical dispensing pattern. It is achievable only when the awareness is created among patients in an appropriate way and by strengthening the rules and regulations with sys-tematic surveillance.Role of Clinical Pharmacists:

There is a utmost need for surveying, reviewing and evaluating the current system of healthcare delivery, to make it more feasible and effective. This can be accomplished with the professional assistance and guidance of clinical pharmacists. Their expertise acts as a tool to rectify the errors and set up the guide-lines. The knowledge and judgment skills can be uti-lized in providing the cost-effective therapy in order to reach the desired outcome, thereby reducing the rates of mortalities and complications. The role, cre-dentials and vitality of clinical pharmacists should be acknowledged by the governing body and legitimate their practice as decision makers along with the phy-sicians in providing the optimal healthcare.Ethically, when the negligence outshines the respon-sibility, the fabulous dream of ‘safe and effective medicines for all’ stays in the downhill. The health-care policies which are formed need to be updated and rigorously monitored in order to meet the de-sired outcomes.
