Existing Antibiotics

Abstract

Nu har Läkemedelsverket publicerat ett uppdaterat kunskapsstöd för behandling av infektioner orsakade av bakterier, virus och svamp hos nyfödda och för tidigt födda barn. En viktigt budskap är att antibiotikabehandling som inletts på misstanke om sepsis i regel bör avslutas efter 24–36 timmar om blododlingen är negativ och den kliniska bilden inte talar för sepsis. Genom att sammanställa expertkunskap och beprövad erfarenhet vill vi ge vårdpersonalen ett tryggt och aktuellt stöd i beslutsprocessen, säger Lisa Forsberg, barnläkare och utredare på Läkemedelsverket, i ett pressmeddelande från Läkemedelsverket. För vissa antibiotika, exempelvis aminoglykosider och vankomycin, framhålls betydelsen av att följa läkemedelskoncentrationen i blodet för att säkerställa effekt och minska risken för allvarliga biverkningar.

Abstract

Lavish wining and dining, and even branded swag, are supposed to be relics of the past thanks to more stringent anti-remuneration and disclosure policies including the federal Anti-Kickback Statute, the federal Physician Payments Sunshine Act (which tracks industry payments to physicians) and ethics guidelines from organizations like the AMA and PhRMA. Pharma advertising and education were also associated with less appropriate prescribing and higher prescription costs, and probably with a higher number of prescriptions, though the study evidence was less certain on that point than for gifts and payments. Although the authors noted that they couldn't establish a causal link, they maintained they were confident that inappropriate prescribing was higher among doctors who received gifts and payments and that they wrote more prescriptions than doctors who did not." They also said that the data pointed to a consistent pattern: The more interactions doctors had with pharmaceutical companies, the less appropriate their prescribing became and the more prescriptions they wrote.

Abstract

The findings are from an analysis of 2,853 participants enrolled in the BAMSE study, which began in Stockholm in 1994 and was originally established to study environmental and nutritional factors involved in the development of allergies and other chronic conditions. For this study, researchers at the University of Gothenburg reviewed antibiotic drug prescription data starting in 2005, when the participants were aged 9 to 11 years, until IBS was assessed at age 24, tracking whether they had received antibiotics, the number of prescriptions received, and which antibiotic classes had been prescribed. Further research needed By age 24, 10% of the study participants had IBS, and 87.8% of them had received antibiotics, compared with 80.2% of those who didn't have IBS. The odds of IBS increased with the number of antibiotic prescriptions, rising from 1.3 among participants who received two to three prescriptions to 1.6 with three to five prescriptions and 1.7 with six or more.

Abstract

Salget af onkologiske lægemidler (kræftmedicin) når op på 232,5 milliarder dollars (1.547 mia. kr.) i 2026 – mere end det dobbelte af den næste kategori på listen, diabetesmedicin, der omsætter for knap 93 milliarder dollars (618 mia. kr.). I 2031 forventes det årlige salg af kræftmedicin at nå op på 311 milliarder dollars (2.060 mia. kr.) Set i forhold til det samlede globale lægemiddelsalg forventes kræftmedicin at udgøre tæt på 20 procent af markedet det år.

Abstract

Antibiotic use from childhood through early adulthood was associated with higher odds of irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) at age 24, with the odds increasing as the number of antibiotic prescriptions rose, according to a new study presented at UEG Week 2026. Any use of tetracyclines was associated with 1.4 times (95% CI, 1.1–1.8) the odds of IBS, while three or more prescriptions of cephalosporins were associated with 6.0 times the odds (95% CI, 1.9–18.8). By examining a population-based group of young adults with antibiotic exposure objectively recorded from childhood and adolescence, we were able to address key limitations of earlier research, including reliance on recalled antibiotic use and specialist health care records to identify IBS, which may not capture the full spectrum of IBS in the general population." Discussing the next steps for research, Sjölund said, "Larger, long-term studies with repeated assessment of IBS over time could help determine whether antibiotic exposure precedes IBS and whether the timing of exposure or type of antibiotic matters."
