of pharmaceutics medicines and pharmacotherapy are prominent. Pharmaceutical medicine can


be defined as ‘the discipline of medicine that is devoted to the discovery, research, development,
and support of ethical promotion and safe use of pharmaceuticals, vaccines, medical devices, and
diagnostics (Edward., et.al, 2007). The discipline covers all medically active agents from
neutraceuticals to cosmeticeuticals and from over the counter to prescription drugs. Meanwhile,
pharmacotherapy is a therapy which involved medication/drugs. Knowledge of diseases,
pathophysiology, pharmacology, and biopharmaceutics are essential in this regards. This means
medical students need to understand how drug is developed/ discovered, to know how drug
promoted ethically and to use the medication/drug safely. Basic knowledge of drugs such as their
pharmacokinetics, bioavailability, dosage forms, and potential medication misadventure are also
included in this module. These understandings are essential for medical students prior to
prescribe medication to their patients. Highlight of the module will be focused on drug used from
the selection of personal drug (P-Drug) to the process of drug prescribing.

OUTCOMES
- Integrating good prescribing to medical education
- Developing moral, ethics, and attitudes related to legal aspect of drug regulation to
medical students
- Integrate rational prescribing and legible hand writing to medical practice

LEARNING OBJECTIVES:
- Describe areas of pharmaceutics medicines
- Describe phases of clinical trial in drug development
- Describe rules in drug promotions and ethics
- Understand drug dosage forms and their pharmaceutical properties which may influence
medication safety
- Be able to calculate drug dosing based on patient’s needs
- Be able to calculate drug dosing based on patient’s needs
- Be able to select personal drug (P-Drug)

ABSTRACTS OF LECTURES

DAY 1
Overview of Pharmaceutics Medicine, Drug Development, and Pharmacovigilance

Objectives:
Students understand pharmaceutics medicine, phases of clinical trial in drug development
and pharmacovigilance

Pharmaceutics Medicine Overview


Pharmaceutics medicine can be defined as the discipline of medicine that is devoted to the
discovery, research, development, and support of ethical promotion and safe used
pharmaceuticals, vaccines, medical devices and diagnostics (Edwards et.al, 2007).
Pharmaceutical medicines cover all medically active agents from neutraceutical, through
cosmeceutical and over the counter and to prescriptions drugs. Further, pharmaceutical medicine
involves combination of medical science to evaluate disease, economic sciences to evaluate the
value with respect to the cost, and the ethical and social sciences to evaluate the utility of any
new drug to patients and to society as a whole. Thus, this discipline has a wide range of
knowledge, from drug development, ethics and drug used of medication in practice.

Drug Development
Prior to conducting clinical research aiming for an international recognition and or to generate
clinical trial which is intended to registered to regulatory authorities, researchers need to have
knowledge and skills which meet the Good Clinical Practice (GCP). By definition, GCP is an
international ethical and scientific quality standard for designing, conducting, recording and
reporting trials which involved the participants of human subjects. There were four phases in drug
development.

Pharmacovigilance
The science and activities relating to the detection, assessment, understanding and prevention of
adverse drug reactions or any other potential drug related problems (WHO, 2002). Adverse drug
reactions may be identified during drug development, voluntary reporting and record linkage.
Physician plays a significant role in pharmacovigilance.
Learning Task:
1. Discuss the term pharmacology, clinical pharmacology and therapeutics

Udayana University Faculty of Medicine, DME, 2017 9


Study Guide Basic Pharmaceutical Medicine & Drug
Etics 2017

2. Discuss what is pharmaceutics medicines


3. Discuss the role of physician in drug development
4. Discuss phases of clinical trial in drug developments
5. Discuss physicians’ responsibility in pharmacovigilance

DAY 2
Drug promotion, ethics and regulations (drug management)

Learning objectives:
1. understand OTC and ethical drug promotion
2. understand the potential for marketing process to change attitudes in prescribing
3. understand uses and abuses of drug promotion
4. understand drug ethics
5. understand reasons for drug regulation
6. be able to describe some regulations on drugs used in Indonesia
7. be able to explain drug classification based on Indonesian regulations

Drug Promotion
Advertisement and promotion on health and drugs have been regulated by the Indonesian
Government with Permenkes 1787/Menkes/Per/XII/2010. The regulation aims to ensure any
promotion on health services and product have to be informative, educative and accountable. The
promotion should meet healthcare professional ethics, advertisement ethics, and other regulations
related to the promotion of products or health services in the country. The product is not limited to
medicinal products but also traditional, alternative and complementary products. In this instance,
promotion is emphasized on drug.

Drug Ethics and Regulation


This topic provides introductory information of regulations on medical practice and drug used in
relation to medical practice. Medical doctor needs to have certificate of competency, to register
and to have a license as a medical doctor prior to practicing as a medical practitioner. Several
regulations and policies will be discussed in this topic such as Undang-undang No 29 Tahun 2004
regulates medical practice in Indonesia, Undang-undang No 36 Tahun 2009 about Health,
Undang-Undang No 35 Tahun 2009 on Narcotics, Undang-undang No 5 Tahun 1997 on
psychotropic drugs, and PeraturanPemerintah No 51 Tahun 2009 on Pharmaceutical Care.
Further, The Indonesian Government created regulations on drug promotion and advertising on
health related service in Undang-Undang No 8 Tahun 1999 on Consumers Protection and

Udayana University Faculty of Medicine, DME, 2017 10


Study Guide Basic Pharmaceutical Medicine & Drug
Etics 2017

Permenkes No 1787/Menkes/Per/XII/2010. Those regulations aim to ensure consumers/patients


in this instance should get the utmost benefits of their treatment.

Learning Task:
1. A foreign pharmaceutical company released a new product in Indonesia. In the leaflet they
reported some testimonial of patients with different diseases. Discuss your arguments
about this phenomenon based on ethics in drug promotion.
2. A medical representative comes to you to promote their ‘me too’ product (X). You already
use other brand name of X and prescribe lots of prescriptions of that brand name. How to
decide which product to use?
3. Analyze the promotional material given to you. Do you think this promotional material meet
your expectation from promotional materials?

DAY 3
Biopharmaceutics, drug dosage form and route of administration

Objectives:
1. Students be able to describe considerations when selecting dosage forms to prescribe
based on the patient’s needs
2. Students be able to describe advantage and disadvantages of drug dosage forms
3. Students be able to understand aspect of biopharmaceutics in drug dosage form
4. Students be able to understand drugs’ route of administration

Biopharmaceutics
Biopharmaceutics is the area study the relationship between physical, chemical and biological
sciences as they apply to drug, dosage forms, and drug actions. Drug properties such as drug
solubility, dissolution and permeability will determine their classification into Biopharmaceutical
Classification System (BCS). Their classification can be seen in the following:
I. High solubility and high permeability, such as cholorquine, diltiazem
II. Low solubility and high permability, such as carbamazepine, glibenclamide
III. High solubility and low permeability, such as atenolol, captopril
IV. Low solubility and low permeability, such as furosemide, cyclosporine
Dosage Forms
Knowledge of drug dosage form is also essential in rational drug prescribing because patient’s
conditions, biopharmaceutics aspect of drugs and social and economical of the patients will
determine the selection of dosage form. Patient’s condition in this instance may involve their ages,

Udayana University Faculty of Medicine, DME, 2017 11


Study Guide Basic Pharmaceutical Medicine & Drug
Etics 2017

their level of consciousness and the diseases – topical or parenteral used. Further, there are
several reasons in selecting certain dosage forms in drug formulation.

Learning Task:
1. Discuss the importance of biopharmaceutics in drug discovery and regulatory practices.
2. Discuss advantages and disadvantages of dosage forms based on their route of
administrations.
3. Case scenario:
Krisna, 14months boy was experiencing fever, cough and cold. Please discuss which
dosage form is the most rational to this patient?
4. Discuss the rational dosage form for the following case
a. An 80 yo woman patient needs a ferrous supplement in her diet.
b. A 55 yo man was found collapsed and unresponsive by his relatives. He was taken to
Emergency Department. Upon arrival he had a history of epilepsy and Type 2
Diabetes.

Day 4
Pharmacokinetics and Pharmacodynamics
(Prof Aman)

DAY 5
Medication safety and drug interaction

Learning Objectives:
- Be able to describe the role of prescriber in medication safety
- Be able to define medication safety
- Be able to describe classification of drug interaction
- Be able to describe significant drug interaction
Medication safety
Medication safety may be defined as drug related problems, adverse drug reaction, adverse drug
event, medication misadventure and medication errors in literature. Medication error is the focus
of the lecture because according to National Committee Council of Medication Error Reporting
and Prevention (NCCMERP), the errors are preventable events while the medications are under
the care of healthcare professional. Thus, it is every healthcare professional business to be aware
of their contribution of the errors. Physician has the role to prescribe medication in the medication
delivery. Thus, they may potentially contribute to the error. The error may result from technical and
non-technical problems which will be discussed in the lecture.

Drug Interaction

Udayana University Faculty of Medicine, DME, 2017 12


Study Guide Basic Pharmaceutical Medicine & Drug
Etics 2017

Drug interactions may make the drug less effective, cause unexpected side effects or increase the
action of a particular drug. Some drug interactions can even be harmful to the patients. Drug
interactions fall into three broad categories: ■ Drug-drug interactions occur when two or more
drugs react with each other. This drug-drug interaction may cause you to experience an
unexpected side effect. For example, mixing a drug you take to help you sleep (a sedative) and a
drug you take for allergies (an antihistamine) can slow your reactions and make driving a car or
operating machinery dangerous. ■ Drug-food/beverage interactions result from drugs reacting
with foods or beverages. For example, mixing alcohol with some drugs may cause you to feel
tired or slow your reactions. ■ Drug-condition interactions may occur when an existing medical
condition makes certain drugs potentially harmful. For example, if you have high blood pressure
you could experience an unwanted reaction if you take a nasal decongestant. Drugs interaction
also can be categories as pharmacodynamic interaction and pharmacokinetic interaction.
Pharmacodynamic interactions refers to interactions in which drugs influence each other’s effects
directly, for example, sedatives can potentiate each other. The same is true of alcohol, which can
potentiate the sedative effects of many drugs. Pharmacokinetic interactions influencing of
absorption, distribution in the various compartments, metabolization, and elimination can affect
the effective concentrations at their sites of action. The causes can be formation of complexes,
competition for uptake transporters, or induction of metabolizing enzymes and efflux transporters.
A necessary consequence of this is the danger that interactions between drugs will lead to serious
adverse effects or will reduce the therapeutic effect of some compounds. Potential interactions
can arise at any age in life, but the frequency of polypharmacy in older life increases the risk
substantially. Knowing about interactions and their causes may help to avoid the serious adverse
effects of the drugs.
Learning Task:
1. Discuss about technical and non-technical problems which contribute to prescribing errors
2. Discuss about physicians’ contribution to ensure medication safety
3. Case scenario:
MrsKori received a prescription from a private physician practicing in Denpasar. For the
sake of her convenience, she brought her prescription to a pharmacy closed to her house
in Gianyar. However, the pharmacy was unable to dispense the medication because the
prescription is unclear/ unreadable. Thus, she went to other pharmacies just to find the
same fact. Discuss what happen to this patient, and how to prevent this from happening?

Day 6
Drug Dosing and Calculation

Udayana University Faculty of Medicine, DME, 2017 13


Study Guide Basic Pharmaceutical Medicine & Drug
Etics 2017

Several drugs are available in different dosage form such as solid and liquid dosage forms
with different potency. Sometimes, physicians prescribe drug dose which may not be the same as
that written on drug label. The drug dose may also need mathematic conversion using dose
calculations. There are several way to do dose calculation such as ratio, proportion, dose
formulas (Fried’s rule, Young’s rule, andClark’s rule) and dimensional analysis. The dose
calculation which assigned for individual patients will bring positive therapeutic outcomes, thus it
avoids drug toxicity.

Learning Task:
Calculate the dose properly to the patients need:

Day 7
P-drug and Prescribing

Objectives:
1. Students be able to describe rules in prescribing
2. Students be able to write steps involved in p-drug
3. Students be able to write prescription based on case vignettes provided
Drug Prescribing
This topic covers common rules in rational prescribing and steps in order to achieve the rational.
Rational prescribing encompasses the five rights and alertness of adverse drug events.
Prescription is a written request from physician/dentist/veterinologist to pharmacist to prepare
medication in certain dosage form to patients. Prescription must be written in Latin because it is
an International language in medicine. The language is not developing anymore thus there is no
dualism in interpreting the prescription. Components of complete prescription are as the following:
1. Physician’s identity: name, address, phone number, registration number, date of practicing

Udayana University Faculty of Medicine, DME, 2017 14


Study Guide Basic Pharmaceutical Medicine & Drug
Etics 2017

2. Date and place of the prescription written


3. R/ sign – recipe (Superscriptio)
4. Name of medication - generic active compound and the strength (Inscriptio)
5. Dosage form or intended dosage form (Subscriptio)
6. Instruction to take/use the medication (Signatura)
7. Patient’s identity (pro): name, age, weight, address
8. Physician’s signature/sign

These components must be in a prescription. In relation to prescribing Narcotics, the physician


should put their signature along with full and clear patient’s address. Further, there is no iter
(replications) in this kind of prescription.

The prescription shows physician’s final competence in pharmacotherapy based on patients’


conditions. The first rule of thumbs in prescribing is the prescription should be clearly written.
Illegible hand writing is one source of prescribing errors. Errors may occur in any stage of
medication delivery process. Meanwhile, different healthcare providers involve in the process. In
this instance, medical students who will be medical doctors in the future need to learn and
acknowledge that they may potentially contribute to the errors particularly in the process of
prescribing. Thus, it is expected medical students need to learn and practice on rational
prescribing to minimize the occurrence of medication errors in healthcare service.

Rational Prescribing: P-drug

The World Health Organisation (WHO) suggested six steps to ensure the rational prescribing
using A Guide to Good Prescribing. The six steps are:
1. Define the patient’s problems based on objective diagnosis.
2. Specify the therapeutic objectives to achieve with the treatment.
3. Verify whether your p-drug (personal drug) is suitable for this patient. The p-drug
consists of possible drugs based on a comparison of their efficacy, safety, suitability,
and cost. The list may be from clinical teacher, existing national or local treatment
guidelines or formularies. The list is started from groups of drug classification then drug
selection, dosage form, dosage schedule and duration of therapy.
4. Start the treatment
5. Give information, instruction and warnings
6. Monitor/stop treatment

A problem of patients should be evaluated on the basis of their information such as: sign,
symptom, patient’s history (disease, allergy, adverse drug reaction or side effect while taking food
or medications), physical examination, clinical laboratory, radiology/imaging and or another clinical
examination/test. Those information aims to define the working diagnosis enforcing the
medication need. Sometimes, patients do not need particular intervention (e.g. medication) but
they may only need advicefor their current complains. Further, they patients may need referral to
medical specialist.
Specific therapeutic objectives must be defined when developing P (personal)-treatment. It is
followed by choosing a P (personal)-drug or P’drug. The therapeutic objective most likely the
description of the drug effect related to the patient’s problem and their symptoms, so it reflects
the therapeutic outcome of the drug at any given time and route of administration.
The P-drug consists of possible drugs based on a comparison of their efficacy, safety,
suitability, and cost. It is not only a name of the active ingredients/pharmacological names of the
drugs but also the dosage regimen such as: dosage form, dosage schedule and duration of
treatment (WHO, 1996). The P-drug which is suitable for general patient is not always suitable for
particular patients. The P-drug fulfilled the patient’s need including the physiologic patient’s
condition, allergy, and lifestyle, so it is the best choice for given indication for a particular patient.
P-drugs will differ from country to country, and between doctors, because of varying availability
and cost of drugs, different national formularies and essential drugs lists, medical culture, and
individual interpretation of drug information, population characteristic. The list may be referred
from clinical teacher experience based on evidenced based, existing international, national or
local treatment guidelines or formularies, drug essentials.
The success of therapeutic outcomes comprises of initiating drug therapy, communicating,
informing, and educating the patient. The patients need reminders about their medicine,
especially the name of the drug, how to administration, how long and how many times must take
or apply the drugs
