Re: p drug

[Guest guest]

dear Dr swapnil,

you have narrated very correctly about p drug.

Can you please explain whether this p drug is a drug

for particular individual or for particular situation

in that particular area?

Dear Dr Swapnil and KiranThe concept of p drugs is more towards the treating physicians perspective rather than towards the patient. It is the list of drugs to be selected by each physician, that he would be using for his set of patients in his region for every condition. It is "his" p drug list that he prepares for the disease conditions that he has to treat. The method of selection of drugs for the doctors p drug list for every condition has to be made upon - efficacy, safety, and cost.RegardsDr.SurendiranJR. JIPMER p drug

Hello Kiran sir,

P(personal) drug is a set of drugs that is most suitable for a

particular individual in a particular condition/situation /disease in

the terms of cost, duration, doses and undoubtedly the adverse drug

reactions profile.

Following is the gist of WHO Guidelines for selecting P-drugs

Step i: Define the diagnosis

Step ii: Specify the therapeutic objective

Step iii: Make an inventory of effective groups of drugs

Step iv: Choose an effective group according to criteria (efficacy, safety, suitability and cost)

Step v: Choose a P-drug (on the basis of efficacy, safety, suitability and cost)
