Creation of New Generic Drugs by Thailand: A Model Nation

Thailand has shown its initiative with its consitituents who are suffering from deadly HIV/AIDS disease by creating generic drugs as a response to what they call national emergency.

As what everybody knows, Thailand issued compulsary licenses to two patented drugs known to treat HIV/AIDS and heart diseases. Abbot, a international drug pharmaceutical company who holds patent among these drugs expresses digusts about the outcome, threatening Thailand even more with not selling them drugs that the company will develop in the future.

This decision was part of an overwhelming demand for cheaper drugs because Thailand has the most number of HIV/AIDS patients in Asia at the very least with more than half a million patients infected by this virus. This demand even encourages health officials to develop cheaper patented drugs as they declare such national call.

Although I quite understand why Abbot behaved such way, what I despise is the way they dealt with the issue and stated that they will cease production and sales to Thailand due to the decision made by the incumbent government. It saddens me when pharmaceutical companies are suppose to work on the manufacture of quality drugs that are sold in a fair price.

Is that how capitalism should work in a certain community? Working on generating drugs that cure yet without a heart? Just asking.

One chemical drug was developed to mimic the effect of a host of chemicals found in bitter gourd, which was patented and markted under the name MAP-30.

In many diabetic patients, the same chemicals are hypoglycemic in nature. They help pancreas in producing enough insulin and encourage liver to take up excess sugar in the blood. Chemicals such as alkaloids, steroidal saponins (charantins) and a type of peptides are working hand-in-hand in order to produce such effect.

A lot of research is going on in a lot of pharmaceutical companies in order to maximize the medicinal benefits of bitter gourd and its components. The future is exciting for patients suffering diseases that the chemicals that bitter gourd might only provide a cure.

The countries who are part of the European Union are working closely with health officials of their individual nations in order to develop plans and measures that would eventually eradicate HIV/AIDS in the world.

The plans include the development of AIDS vaccine and producing effective treatment, including but not limited to antiretroviral drugs among patients and low-cost drugs and treatment and installing treatment facilities among people infected by such virus.

While the disease itself is a number one problem among nations and people infected with the virus, stigma and discrimination may also pose as a hindrance to patients' full access to drugs and operate in their immediate environment.
