Black Fungus in Indore: No medicine in the market, officials have no answer

Black Fungus in Indore: No medicine in the market, officials have no answer

[ad_1]

Jitendra Yadav, Indore. The horrific form of the Black Fungus epidemic is coming to light. Amphotericin-B drug is missing from the market. Responsible officers do not have the answer as to where and how the medicine will be found. Patients admitted to hospitals do not have enough time to wait. According to the protocol, the patients of black fungus in Indore need 10 thousand vials of amphotresin-B daily, but only 100-200 vials are coming. Can’t ever find it either.

Half-hearted dose neutralization

Black fungus patients receive amphotericin-B injections from 21 to 45 days. The patient’s dose is determined based on his or her body weight. If the average weight of the patients is considered to be 50-60 kg then it takes 200 vials in a fixed period, but the reality is that most of the patients are getting fixed doses. Experts say that if the patient gets a gap of one or two days in the dose, the first injection will have no effect. The patient returns to the same position he was on the first day of the dose.

Committee slack: In the acute crisis of medicine, the administration and administration had to do something, so formed a committee. On the recommendation of the doctors’ committee, medicine will be provided for the patient. Sadly, the committee is not recommending the medicine even after applying with all the documents. Even if recommended, the medicine is not available at the medical store.

Argument : Amphotericin-B is not being allowed due to high demand. Sometimes even stockists are not able to give medicines.

Shortage of medicine: More than one thousand patients are admitted in MY and major private hospitals. The anti-fungal drug amphotericin-B is effective only for the treatment of black fungus. But there is a huge scarcity of this medicine not only in Indore but also in the country and state.

Trouble : Infections have been steadily increasing due to non-availability of medicines on time.

Ranneeti Fell: Commissioner Dr. Pawan Sharma has formed a committee to provide amphotericin-B to patients admitted to private hospitals. The committee consists of the Dean of MGM Medical College and the head of the ENT department. This committee evaluates the clinical status of the patient and decides whether he is to be given amphotericin-B or not. A release order for the injection is issued to the concerned hospital for those who need to be injected.

Circumstances: Patients are not getting injections on time, which worsens the condition.

There is a crisis of amphotericin-B. The demand is in the thousands, but 100 can get 200 vials someday. Our committee cannot order the release of this injection until a direction is received from the administration that the drug is available with the authorized stockist. Dr. Sanjay Dixit, Dean, MGM Medical College
