SC Questions Govt: Why Can't Affordable Meds Cost the Same in India as in Pakistan or China?

<img data-document-id="cms/api/amp/image/AA1CjZ5N" data-reference="image" src="https://img-s-msn-com.akamaized.net/tenant/amp/entityid/AA1CjZ5N.jpg"/> <p> <div class="section1"> <div class="Normal"> <p> NEW DELHI: An unusual plea—given that the medication used to treat spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) costs less in both Pakistan and China—prompted the Supreme Court to request responses from the central government and Roche, the international pharmaceutical company producing the drug. The court aimed to understand why such treatments cannot also be affordably priced to aid patients with this uncommon condition. </p> <p> For Seba, aged 24 and hailing from Kerala, lawyer Anand Grover addressed a bench comprising Chief Justice of India Sanjiv Khanna along with Justices Sanjay Kumar and K V Viswanathan. He highlighted that Hoffmann-La Roche, the company behind the patent-holding oral medication Risdiplam (Evrysdi), sells this drug at lower prices in both Pakistan and China. "Since SMA patients have access to the medication at reduced costs in Pakistan and China due to government interventions in these nations, why isn’t the Indian government negotiating with the pharmaceutical firm to decrease the high pricing? Alternatively, could they consider producing it as a generic version to make treatments more affordable?" he questioned. </p> <p> In India, a bottle of Risdiplam is priced at Rs 6.2 lakh, whereas in Pakistan it costs Rs 41,000 per bottle and in China, Rs 44,692. On August 17, 2023, TOI reported that Roche’s medication for rare diseases was sold at prices up to 15 times higher in India than in neighboring nations. The court directed Roche to submit their response and requested the Center to present its stance on reducing the cost of this drug used to treat SMA in India. Recognizing the critical nature of this issue, where swift action could potentially save numerous SMA patients from imminent fatality, the court scheduled the matter for continued hearings the following week. </p> <p> <div> 120003113 </div> "Across India, numerous families might have members afflicted by this condition. The illness often goes unnoticed due to inadequate facilities," Grover stated, urgently appealing for Supreme Court intervention that could potentially rescue thousands of sufferers. </p> </div> </div> </p> <p> <div> To read more stories like this, head over to TOI .

Counties Unite: Multi-Agency Drug Task Force FormedToLocal Counties Join Forces in Battle Against Drugs

<img data-document-id="cms/api/amp/image/AA1CbSOf" data-reference="image" src="https://img-s-msn-com.akamaized.net/tenant/amp/entityid/AA1CbSOf.jpg"/> <p> LIBERTY COUNTY, Fla. ( WMBB Drug trafficking is a significant concern for local sheriff’s departments as it often operates across county boundaries. This activity is seen as a major contributor to the crime rate in our region. </p> <p> The sheriff's departments of Calhoun, Gulf, Liberty, and Franklin joined forces to establish a drug task force aimed at tackling the problem. </p> <p> "These criminals aren't familiar with jurisdictional boundaries as police officers are. Therefore, crossing these jurisdictional lines and enabling us to operate beyond our usual limits, while also assisting other sheriffs who can then help us, is the most crucial aspect of this task force," stated Liberty County Sheriff Dusty Arnold. </p> <p> The task force will enable deputies to operate across county boundaries to better chase after criminals. </p> <div class="nlp-ignore-block article-content rich-text"> A Vernon man has been sentenced to 25 years for trafficking fentanyl. </div> <p> "It simply makes sense for us to gather all our minds, pool all our resources, and work collectively to share intelligence and cooperate with each other. This approach will make us much more effective in conducting business," stated Calhoun County Sheriff Michael Bryant. </p> <p> For the first time, FDLE is collaborating with rural counties as well. The agency is providing specialized agents and resources for this initiative. Through their partnership, these organizations can augment staffing without imposing additional costs on local taxpayers. </p> <p> Leaders think that this collaborative effort between multiple agencies will enhance connections within these neighborhoods. </p> <p> "It goes beyond being merely a task force on paper. We're really coming together, collaborating, and bringing about change," Bryant stated. </p> <p> Through the sharing of staff, additional deputy sheriffs will be made available to execute search warrants, assist with surveillance operations, and contribute further efforts toward addressing the drug problem spanning multiple jurisdictions. </p> <i> Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc.

Lawsuit Alleges Drug Giant Concealed Zantac's Cancer Link

<p class="mol-para-with-font"> The British pharmaceutical company GlaxoSmithKline (GSK) has faced accusations for allegedly suppressing a document purportedly demonstrating a connection between its drug Zantac and certain issues. cancer A fresh legal case has been brought forward, according to reports. </p> <p class="mol-para-with-font"> A pension fund has initiated a class-action lawsuit against the company in the U.S., accusing GSK and three top officials, including CEO Emma Walmsley, of deceiving shareholders by stating they were unaware of any link between their heartburn drug Zantac and cancer risks. </p> <p class="mol-para-with-font"> Zantac hit the market in the UK in 1981, and by 1988, it had become the globe’s quickest-selling medication. </p> <p class="mol-para-with-font"> However, in 2019, GSK removed it from the market in both the UK and the US due to concerns that the component ranitidine formed a potentially cancer-causing substance within the body when mixed with nitrates, commonly present in various food items. </p> <p class="mol-para-with-font"> In the United States, tens of thousands of individuals pursued compensation. At that time, GSK stated that the prevailing scientific opinion was that there was 'no consistent or reliable evidence suggesting that ranitidine raises the risk of... cancer'. </p> <p class="mol-para-with-font"> In October, GSK mentioned that they had expended $2.2 billion in resolving approximately 93 percent of the cases without acknowledging fault. </p> <p class="mol-para-with-font"> However, in a legal case submitted to the US district court in Pennsylvania The Roofers Local No. 149 Pension Fund claimed that GSK knew about the connection between Zantac and cancer 'for nearly four decades' before the drug was removed from the market. </p> <img data-document-id="cms/api/amp/image/AA1CmF1m" data-reference="image" src="https://img-s-msn-com.akamaized.net/tenant/amp/entityid/AA1CmF1m.jpg"/> <img data-document-id="cms/api/amp/image/AA1CmQYe" data-reference="image" src="https://img-s-msn-com.akamaized.net/tenant/amp/entityid/AA1CmQYe.jpg"/> <img data-document-id="cms/api/amp/image/AA1CmDrR" data-reference="image" src="https://img-s-msn-com.akamaized.net/tenant/amp/entityid/AA1CmDrR.jpg"/> <img data-document-id="cms/api/amp/image/AA1CmQYh" data-reference="image" src="https://img-s-msn-com.akamaized.net/tenant/amp/entityid/AA1CmQYh.jpg"/> <p class="mol-para-with-font"> Legal papers assert that back in 1982, Richard Tanner, who was a researcher at Glaxo—a company that later became part of GSK—discovered that when ranitidine came into contact with nitrites, it generated approximately 232,000 nanograms of NDMA, which is a cancer-causing substance. </p> <p class="mol-para-with-font"> The American pharmaceutical regulatory body subsequently mentioned that a drug should contain no more than 96 nanograms as acceptable levels. </p> <p class="mol-para-with-font"> The allegation asserts that Glaxo and GSK concealed the report, resulting in 'financial harm' for investors once the lawsuits impacted GSK's stock value. </p> <p class="mol-para-with-font"> GSK stated: "We are currently examining this legal case." </p> <p class="mol-para-with-font"> Since 2019, after reviewing 16 epidemiological studies examining human data related to the use of ranitidine, the scientific community agrees that there is no consistent or dependable evidence suggesting that ranitidine raises the risk of developing any form of cancer. </p> <p class="mol-para-with-font"> 'After the initial Zantac personal injury lawsuit was filed in 2019, we have reported the associated legal actions concerning Zantac as a possible risk factor and maintained regular updates for our shareholders.' </p> Read more

Rosemary and Other Common Herbs May Hold the Key to a Breakthrough in Alzheimer's Treatment

<img data-document-id="cms/api/amp/image/AA1BtMNW" data-reference="image" src="https://img-s-msn-com.akamaized.net/tenant/amp/entityid/AA1BtMNW.jpg"/> <p> Scientists have discovered a substance extracted from everyday herbs that has effectively boosted memory and increased brain mass in mice, potentially paving the way for novel therapies for Alzheimer's disease. </p> <p> A group from The Scripps Research Institute located in the United States focused on developing a derivative of carnosic acid, which is a compound present in both rosemary and sage. </p> <p> They created a more stable compound named diAcCA and subsequently utilized it to treat mice genetically altered to exhibit Alzheimer’s-like conditions over a period of three months. </p> <p> According to the research published in the journal, the mice administered with the novel medication exhibited enhanced cognitive functions including better learning and memory capabilities along with an increased number of synapses—these being the points at which nerve cells interact and transmit signals to one another. <strong> Antioxidants </strong> . </p> <p> The reduction in synapses has a strong connection with decreased cognition. </p> <p> The mice exhibited reduced accumulation of amyloid plaques and tau tangles, which are two detrimental proteins characteristic of Alzheimer’s disease in humans. </p> <p> Seventy percent of dementia cases are due to Alzheimer's disease. </p> <div class="c-widget-related"> <div class="c-widget-related__title"> <b class="c-widget-related__title__text"> Related </b> </div> <ul class="c-widget-related__list"> <li class="c-widget-related__item"> An experimental medication could delay the start of dementia for individuals with a specific uncommon hereditary version of Alzheimer's disease. </li> </ul> </div> <p> It poses a significant and growing burden across Europe, affecting approximately 7 million people today, with numbers projected to double to 14 million by 2030 due to its ageing population. </p> <p> “By combating inflammation and oxidative stress with this diAcCA compound, we actually increased the number of synapses in the brain,” Stuart Lipton, a professor at Scripps Research and one of the study’s authors, <strong> said in a statement. </strong> </p> <p> “We also took down other misfolded or aggregated proteins such as phosphorylated-tau and amyloid-β, which are thought to trigger Alzheimer’s disease and serve as biomarkers of the disease process,” he added. </p> <h2> An anti-oxydant molecule </h2> <p> Carnosic acid is an antioxidant and an anti-inflammatory but it has a very short shelf-life, while the diAcCA can be taken orally before being converted into carnosic acid in the stomach and entering the bloodstream. </p> <p> The amount in the blood of the test mice was 20 per cent higher with the new method compared to usual ingestion of carnosic acid. </p> <p> “We did multiple different tests of memory, and they were all improved with the drug,” Lipton said. </p> <p> “And it didn’t just slow down the decline; it improved virtually back to normal,” he added. </p> <p> The researchers added that the mice tolerated diAcCA well. </p>
