Article Synopsis
- * Studies show that it might help patients recover faster, use fewer strong medications, and could help the heart and lungs.
- * However, there are risks like air pollution and a rare condition called malignant hyperthermia, so careful monitoring is needed, and more research is still important.
Factors reported in the literature associated with inappropriate prescribing of antimicrobials include physicians with less experience, uncertain diagnosis, and patient caregiver influences on physicians' decisions. Monitoring antimicrobial resistance is critical for identifying emerging resistance patterns, developing, and assessing the effectiveness of mitigation strategies. Improvement in prescribing antimicrobials would minimize the risk of resistance and, consequently, improve patients' clinical and health outcomes.

- Infections caused by pathogens can lead to severe health issues, and the misuse of antimicrobials has resulted in antimicrobial resistance (AMR), increasing mortality and healthcare costs.
- Antimicrobial stewardship (AMS) programs aim to improve the use of effective antimicrobial therapy while minimizing AMR through guidelines and policies.
- A study in Eastern Saudi Arabia revealed that many healthcare providers lack awareness and experience with AMS, highlighting significant barriers such as insufficient internal policies and administrative support.
Implications of external price referencing of pharmaceuticals in Middle East countries.
Expert Rev Pharmacoecon Outcomes Res
July 2016
Introduction: External price referencing (EPR) is applied frequently to control pharmaceutical prices. Our objective was to analyse how EPR is used in Middle Eastern (ME) countries and to compare the price corridor for original pharmaceuticals to non-pharmaceutical services not subjected to EPR.
Methods: We conducted a survey on EPR regulations and collected prices of 16 patented pharmaceuticals and 14 non-pharmaceutical services in seven Middle Eastern (ME) countries.
