Chemists to revise drug christian louboutin
pas cher france sale rules Boots the soldes louboutin chemist is revising its
procedures on the sale of antimalarial drugs after an investigation by the daily
telegraph revealed widespread confusion about how to counter the disease and
repeated cases of incorrect advice from pharmacists and gps. The royal
pharmaceutical society also plans to provide its members with more uptodate
information. Two weeks ago on this page, dr richard dawood, a specialist in
travel medicine, argued that chloroquine and paludrine, the only combination of
antimalarials that can be sold without prescription, was being provided too
freely and often inappropriately. The daily telegraph has since been contacted
by several holidaymakers who have been sold the wrong antimalarial drugs for the
areas in which they were travelling and by others complaining of serious and
unexpected sideeffects.The paper has also conducted its own research into the
wide discrepancies in the advice given by doctors, pharmacists and travel
specialists. One sufferer, claire orchard, from devon, travelled to sri lanka
for two weeks in march last year.She was sold chloroquine and paludrine over the
counter at her local chemist and during her holiday suffered from panic
attacks.She said: "I went from being a confident and active person to one who
was terrified and constantly crying.At times i felt suicidal. "She had no
history of depression. Anne trew and her husband were prescribed chloroquine and
paludrine for their trip to sri lanka by their louboutin gp in surrey.Before their trip
they both suffered severe stomach cramps, diarrhoea and nausea. She said: "Our
symptoms were so bad that i telephoned our gp to ask if there was any
alternative medication.We were told there was nothing else available for the
area we were visiting.His suggestion was that we stop the chloroquine.As my
husband was bitten during the trip, we were obviously concerned by this advice.
" Helen savage, from leeds, complained of feeling dizzy and having blurred
vision, headaches and nausea when she was advised to take chloroquine and
paludrine by the practice nurse at her gp surgery for a trip to borneo. Tessa
cobley, from blackwood, gwent, was advised by a pharmacist in a cardiff branch
of boots to take chloroquine and paludrine when she went to kenya last year.The
world health organisation advises that lariam is now the only effective
antimalarial in kenya. "The pharmacist recommended chloroquine and paludrine
without asking where i was going,"Said mrs cobley.She fell ill in kenya and,
once home, was diagnosed as having serious kidney damage. "It took me three
months to get better,"She said. Kate hawker, from somerset, was working as a
volunteer with a charity in tanzania when her mother decided to join her for a
holiday. When her mother inquired about antimalarial drugs at her local
pharmacy, she was advised that she"Did not need to take any".She opted for a
private prescription to obtain lariam. Neil hill, from hampshire, was also
recommended chloroquine and paludrine by his local independent chemist for his
trip to kenya and mauritius last year.He has a history of psoriasis, but was not
asked about this at the time he was given the drugs(Psoriasis sufferers are
advised, in the leaflet supplied with the drug, against taking it). During his
trip, mr hill's condition returned in an"Acute"Form. "Most of the skin fell off
my hands and feet.I cut short my holiday and my skin specialist sent me to
hospital. " A spokeswoman for boots said that, in light of the issues raised by
the daily telegraph, it"Would be writing to all pharmacists reminding them of
the correct procedures to follow and the recent changes to recommendations for
the prevention of malaria". The royal pharmaceutical society acknowledged
information needed to be updated on a more regular basis and said steps were
being taken to ensure this happened. A spokeswoman for astrazeneca, one of the
manufacturers of chloroquine and proguanil(The combined form of chloroquine and
paludrine), said that it was"Up to individuals to discuss their specific
situation with a healthcare adviser". But the adviser should always ask
questions about such things as the destination. "We take our responsibilities
very seriously in relation to malaria,"She added.
