Many believe that fake and substandard drugs are the main cause of the devastating resurgence in malaria. In the hours lost giving a child a useless fake, malaria turns into a killer. “Getting the treatment right in the first instance is crucial”, explains Dr Meremikwu, who runs the children’s emergency unit. “You don’t have time to wait.”</DIV></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://wideeyecinema.com/?p=84"><DIV>
The worst type of fakes are those which contain a small portion of active ingredient. “Counterfeit drugs with little active ingredient drive drug resistance”, explains Prof White. “Everyone in the malaria field accepts they’re a major threat.” There is now only one effective drug which treats malaria. “If we lose this drug to resistance, it will be an absolute disaster,” starts White. “All our modern treatments depend on it.” But despite this, the WHO has yet to acknowledge the link between fake drugs and malaria resistance.</DIV></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://wideeyecinema.com/?p=84"><EM>To order book or DVD, <A target="_blank" href="http://www.journeyman.tv/?lid=56919">click here</A></EM></blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/1A8BF296-E119-4053-BC30-BCE9288729CC/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content6.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
