    Abstract Background: The aim of this study is to assess the availability and rational use of six essential medicines in private retail outlets in Maharashtra state. The study focuses on the range of brands for each medicine, and the availability of these brands in the pharmacies. The medicines were chosen because they are included in the World Health Organization's (WHO) essential medicines list (EML), the Indian national and Maharashtra state medicines list, and are all included in existing Indian public health initiatives and national disease control programmes.
    Methods: Data was gathered on the availability of the medicines and the range and frequency of brands in 124 private retail pharmacies between January and May 2012. As there is currently no centralised database in India of available pharmaceutical brands, we collected data on the range of products of the 6 essential medicines available in the Indian market by consulting three open access Indian pharmaceutical databases, CIMS India, Medindia, and Medguide, and the commercial database, Pharmatrac; we compared this data with the results of the survey. The six essential medicines used in this study are: artemisinin (malaria), lamivudine (HIV/AIDS), rifampicin (tuberculosis control), oxytocin (reproductive health), fluoxetine (mental health) and metformin (diabetes).
    Results: The study found that for each of the selected medicines there were multiple approved products listed in Indian databases, 2186 in total. The Pharmatrac database lists only 1359 brands of the selected medicines; 978 (72%) of these had zero sales in 2011-2012. Our survey found very low availability of the brands: 17% Pharmatrac marketed brands (163/978) and 12% of all Pharmatrac brands (163/1359) were available. Metformin was the only medicine with high availability in the study pharmacies at 91%, Rifampacin was the second highest at 64.5%; the other four medicines were available in less than half the pharmacies. A small number of brands were dominating the market.
    Conclusion: the survey shows that market competition has generated a large number of brands of the six study medicines but this has not translated into sufficient availability of these medicines in the study pharmacies. The data calls for a review of available brands, taking into consideration levels of sale and grounds for approval, and the setting up of a centralised database of registered pharmaceutical products.

    Abstract Background: Good drug regulation requires an effective system for monitoring and inspection of manufacturing and sales units. In India, despite widespread agreement on this principle, ongoing shortages of drug inspectors have been identified by national committees since 1975. The growth of India's pharmaceutical industry and its large export market makes the problem more acute.
    Methods: The focus of this study is a case study of Maharashtra, which has 29% of India's manufacturing units and 38% of its medicines exports. India's regulations were reviewed, comparing international, national and state inspection norms with the actual number of inspectors and inspections. Twenty-six key informant interviews were conducted to ascertain the causes of the shortfall.
    Results: In 2009-2010, 55% of the sanctioned posts of drug inspectors in Maharashtra were vacant. This resulted in a shortfall of 83%, based on the Mashelkar Committee's recommendations. Less than a quarter of the required inspections of manufacturing and sales units were undertaken. The Indian Drugs and Cosmetics Act and its Rules and Regulations make no provisions for drug inspectors and workforce planning norms, despite the growth and increasing complexity of India's pharmaceutical industry.
    Conclusion: The Maharashtra Food and Drug Administration (FDA) falls short of the Mashelkar Committee's recommended workforce planning norms. Legislation and political and operational support are required to produce needed changes.

    Abstract Aims: To study and compare the electrophysiological changes in neuroparalytic or vasculotoxic snakebites.
    Materials and methods: 40 patients who had a definite history of snakebite, either vasculotoxic or neuroparalytic, were selected. They were grouped as Group A, 20 patients having a neuroparalytic snakebite with definite envenomation at the time of admission, and Group B, 20 patients having a vasculotoxic snakebite with definite envenomation at the time of admission. All patients underwent a detailed clinical examination, all relevant investigations and nerve conduction studies according to protocol.
    Results: In this study, we noticed that the motor nerve conduction amplitude, conduction velocity and distal latency were within normal limits in both the groups. On RNS (repetitive nerve stimulation study) of facial and median nerves, a decremental response was seen in 13 (65%) patients in facial nerve and in 7 (35%) patients in median nerve in Group A; while, the same response was seen in 8 (40%) patients in facial nerve and 3 (15%) patients in median nerve in Group B. A post exercise decremental response was seen in 13 (65%) patients in median nerve and 16 (80%) patients in facial nerve in Group A; and, in 3 (15%) patients in median nerve and 8 (40%) patients in facial nerve in Group B.
    Conclusions: In our study, we noticed that the decremental response on RNS was not only present in neuroparalytic snake bite (post-synaptic neuromuscular blockade) but also in vasculotoxic snakebite [pre-synaptic neuromuscular blockade] (seen in Russel's viper).
