DOH: GENERICS NA GAMOT, LIGTAS AT MABISA KATULAD NG BRANDED

Abot-kaya ang generics na gamot. Epektibo at de-kalidad rin ito katulad ng mga gamot na branded.

Alinsunod sa Generics Act of 1988, paalala ng DOH:

✅ Dapat na may generic name ang gamot sa iyong reseta

✅ Dapat nakasulat nang malinaw at nakalagay sa itaas ng brand name ang generic name sa lahat ng labels, ads, at iba pang promotional materials

Tandaan: Kumuha lang ng mga gamot sa mga lihitimong health centers, klinika, at botika para makasigurong ligtas ang gamot na mabibili o makukuha.

Paano Maiiwasan ang Monkeypox (Mpox)?
by: Doc Marites Health

Ang Monkeypox, o tinatawag na Mpox, ay isang viral infection na pwedeng makahawa mula sa tao sa tao. Bagamat hindi ito kasing lala ng ibang virus tulad ng smallpox, dapat pa rin tayong mag-ingat—lalo na dahil mabilis itong kumalat through close contact.

Narito ang ilang simple pero epektibong paraan para makaiwas sa Mpox:



✅ 1. Iwasan ang close contact sa mga may rashes o sintomas.

Kung may kakilala kang may lagnat, skin rashes, o may lesions sa katawan—lalo na kung mukhang may nana—iwasan muna ang physical contact. Ang Mpox ay madaling maipasa sa pamamagitan ng skin-to-skin contact.

“Wag muna makipag-hug or beso, kahit close friend pa yan!”



✅ 2. Huwag gamitin ang personal items ng may sakit.

Mga bagay tulad ng damit, kumot, towels, utensils, o kahit gadgets na ginamit ng infected na tao ay pwedeng may virus. Gumamit lang ng sariling gamit at siguraduhing malinis.

“Huwag mo munang gamitin yung hoodie ng jowa mo kung may rashes siya!”



✅ 3. Maghugas ng kamay regularly.

As always, handwashing is life! Gumamit ng sabon at tubig or alcohol-based hand sanitizer para linisin ang kamay lalo na pagkatapos humawak sa mga public surfaces.

“Mabuti nang OC kaysa magkasakit!”



✅ 4. Magsuot ng face mask sa matataong lugar.

Although hindi siya airborne gaya ng COVID, pwede pa rin itong kumalat through droplets kapag may close contact. Sa mga matataong lugar or enclosed spaces, better to wear a mask—lalo na kung may sintomas ka o may naririnig kang kaso ng Mpox sa area.



✅ 5. Alamin ang mga sintomas at magpatingin agad kung kinakailangan.

Ang mga karaniwang sintomas ng Mpox ay:
• Lagnat
• Pananakit ng ulo at katawan
• Skin rashes or lesions
• Swollen lymph nodes

Kapag nararamdaman mo ang mga ito—lalo na kung may contact ka sa taong may Mpox—magpatingin agad sa health center or doktor.

“Wag mahiyang magpa-check up. Mas ok nang sure!”



Conclusion: Ingat Para Iwas Mpox!

Hindi kailangang mag-panic, pero kailangan maging alerto at responsable. Sa pamamagitan ng tamang kaalaman, malinis na pamumuhay, at pag-iwas sa risky behavior—kaya nating maiwasan ang pagkalat ng Mpox.

“Prevention is always better than cure.”

A Call to All Healthcare Workers: Preventing Medication Errors Starts with Clear Communication

This image is a real reminder of how illegible handwriting on prescriptions can lead to medication errors—putting patients’ lives at risk.

Medication errors are preventable.
Yet across hospitals, clinics, and pharmacies in the Philippines, one common cause persists: unclear or unreadable prescriptions.

Why This Matters:
• A misread dosage or medication name can result in overdose, allergic reactions, or ineffective treatment.
• Pharmacists may dispense the wrong drug due to guesswork.
• Nurses may administer the wrong dosage or frequency.
• Patients may lose trust in our health system due to adverse events that could have been avoided.

To All Prescribers:
• Write clearly or better, use printed e-prescriptions when possible.
• Always include the generic name, dose, route, frequency, and duration.
• Avoid abbreviations that can be misinterpreted.

To Pharmacists and Nurses:
• Never guess. If unsure, verify with the prescriber before administering or dispensing.
• Be an advocate for patient safety—double-check prescriptions.

Let’s commit to making healthcare safer—one legible prescription at a time.
