Angiomax is considered as a potential substitute for heparin. It has 3 major advantages when compared with Heparin. First, the effects of Angiomax are more accurate and more predictable. Second, it works better among patients at risk for bleeding, where heparin often proves problematic. Third, the product works faster than heparin and patients do not need to wait for 2 – 3 hours to identify the results. The major disadvantage of Angiomax is its high production cost against Heparin. As Heparin has a very long history dated back in 1916, the price is only $2 per unit while the production cost of Angiomax takes nearly $40 per unit.

The twenty-first century has seen pharmaceutical companies grow in unprecedented size and strength. Due to the unprecedented growth the larger pharmaceutical companies have gained leverage and power in the prescription drug industry, but they lack innovation to market and they seek ways to help the business continue to increase its profits. The pharmaceutical industry was once ethically sound and was a valuable player in the development of human health. However, overtime with the lack of innovation pharmaceutical companies are becoming an unethical market that exploits patients, doctors and anyone else it can to increase its profitability. With eyes only on profitability this can create a hazard for patients because there

From there, it is indicated that the information has strengthen leadership of business due to the access for the internet.

For example, research has discovered that this company recently decreased in profit and stock because the competition that had not been evident in the past has showed face. There are many ethical and moral decisions to be made with drugs are available in health care facility. As department manager, a set of procedures and protocols regarding the handling, storing and monitoring of drugs is necessary to ensure the safety of the patients and employees. Within this set of procedures, generic drugs, controlled drugs, and all charting is necessary so that all drugs can be documented in order to keep track of everything and to keep all employees honest (Pamela Anderson, 2010). This is because no medicine is without side effects and some are worse than others."In any situation where care-workers are responsible for the looking after and giving of medicines to other people, be they young or old, healthy or sick, it is important to follow a set of general principles to ensure that this is done safely. In some ways this is similar to the way in which we follow a set of principles or rules in connection with the use of

My experience at CVS/Pharmacy is a thorough illustration of the integration of ethics, technology and management. Since the time of Hippocrates, ethics have been at the forefront of importance in the healthcare field with pharmaceuticals bearing no exception. As members of the healthcare team, pharmacy staff have an ethical responsibility to ensure the safety of their patients; thus there is a need to make sure drug and other health information regarding the patient is accurate. Providing the wrong drug or drug dosage and issues of drug-drug interactions are just some of the very serious concerns associated with pharmaceuticals. Another ethical issue that is often related to the healthcare industry is privacy.

In any case, now the number has been diminished altogether after the full usage of medicine administrating all through the consideration homes, kids homes, nursing homes and healing centres.

Value: Angiomax is a blood-thinning drug, or anticoagulant, used in emergency coronary heart care.

The Pharmaceutical industry has been in the spotlight for decades due to the fact that they have a reputation for being unethical in its marketing strategies. In The Washington Post Shannon Brownlee (2008) states, “We try never to forget that medicine is for the people. It is not for the profits. The profits follow.” This honorable statement is completely lost in today’s world of pharmaceutical marketing tactics. These tactics are often deceptive and biased. Big Pharma consistently forgets their moral purpose and focuses primarily on the almighty dollar. Big Pharma is working on restoring their reputation by reforming their ethical code of conduct.

One healthcare problem in my community is the access to medication and health services. Within a month of Donald Trump’s presidency he has already threatened to defund Planned Parenthood, a well known reproductive clinic that offers sexual health services such as abortion, which puts pregnant persons in danger by depriving them from safe abortions which may lead them to do dangerous abortions at home like many women back in the 1900’s did. Along with the deprivation of sexual services supported which is supported by the Donald Trump, there are pharmaceutical companies like Turing Pharmaceuticals. In 2015 Turing Pharmaceutical obtained the rights to Daraprim, an anti-parasitic drug that is commonly used to prevent infections in people with

Upjohn Corporation has an ethical dilemma and needs to consider the fact that it is a drug company that is in business to heal people. The efficiency perspective may state that it is socially responsible to maximize the returns of the shareholders, but the social responsibility perspective states that it is socially irresponsible to only maximize shareholder wealth since the patients are also responsible for the firm’s existence. Additionally, if they follow the moral rights approach, they will do what’s right: not produce or sell anymore drugs that will kill its patients. If the company is in the business of healing people, why would they let their products kill people? The drug may produce $18,000,000 in revenue for the company per year, but life is too valuable for a price tag. There are other drugs on the market that offer similar benefits to Panalba without the risky side effects. Therefore, the negative externalities of Panalba far exceed its benefits. Hopefully Upjohn Corporation will choose to be anticipators rather than defenders (Pages

Over the past couple of decades, a sudden change has started to take over the way business is done. The time when no rules applied, and anyone could do what they pleased at the cost of others or the environment is rapidly ending. Instead, companies today have become aware that it is essential for them to employ ethics and morality in their actions, if not they will be heavily scrutinized and rejected by the public. This way of thinking also applies to the pharmaceutical industry, which over the past century has been rapidly expanding. Do to the fact that this industry can determine the health and lives of millions of people, it is imperative that this industry follow an ethical and moral path.
