Regional medical association

The hospitality offered by the Pharmaceutical Companies Association to health professionals must be of secondary importance to professional or scientific events. The standard of accommodation must be reasonable and appropriate to the event and the expenses incurred should not exceed what participants would have paid for themselves. Specific requests from a physician for the total or partial covering of his or her travel/accommodation expenses should be submitted to the National Medical Association, the Conseil National de L Ordre des Medecins (CNOM) if it relates to a national/ international conference, or to the Regional Medical Association for regional conferences.

Figure 8 Simplified diagram of a signaling cascade that involves NE, BDNF, and CREB after NE acts on the postsynaptic fi-noradrenergic receptor. NE couples to a G protein (Gas), which stimulates the production of cAMP from adenosine triphosphate (ATP). This reaction is catalyzed by adenylate cyclase (AC). cAMP activates protein kinase A (PKA). Inside the cell, PKA phosphorylates (P) the CREB protein, which binds upstream from specific regions of genes and regulates their expression. BDNF is one target of cAMP signaling pathways in the brain. CRE, cyclic AMP regulatory element ER, endoplasmic reticulum, [reprinted from Reference 76 with permission of the author and the publisher, Canadian Medical Association].

Financial assistance for scholarships or other educational funds to permit medical students, residents, fellows and other healthcare professionals in training to attend carefully selected educational conferences may be offered, so long as the selection of individuals who will receive the funds is made by the academic or training institution. Carefully selected educational conferences are generally defined as the major educational, scientific or policy-making meetings of national, regional or specialty medical associations.

The Swedish Classification Scheme initiated in 2005 by the Swedish Association of Pharmacy Industries (LIF), the Swedish Medical Products Agency, Apoteket (National Corporation of Swedish Pharmacies), the Swedish Association of Local Authorities and Regions and the Stockholm County Council, take in account Persistence, Bioaccumulation and Toxicity (PBT) characteristics of pharmaceutical products. This voluntary scheme looks at the environmental hazard and the associated risk of pharmaceutical products. The environmental risk is calculated based on the ratio PEC/PNEC according to the EMEA guideline [17,124, 127]. The obtained information is only available on the website www.fss.se, since due to European restrictions it is not possible to include warning labels on the packaging of medications [17].

According to the Healthcare Distribution Management Association (HDMA—formerly the National Wholesale Druggists Association), there are thousands of wholesalers. Fewer than a half dozen are responsible for a majority of sales. These full-line or full-service wholesalers obtain medications directly from the manufacturers and distribute the medications to pharmacies (both independent and chains), institutions, and other wholesalers. Some chain pharmacies have regional or local distribution centers that receive medications from the wholesaler in large quantities and repackage the medications into package sizes that are more feasible at the store level.
