Annual Eid celebrations

Clearly, the main activity of the annual Eid celebration remains attending a relative's residence. On this particular occasion, relatives make sure to see each other at home.  They are amused by a wide variety of dishes. The sweet flavour of the most significant meal, sewai , seems to be blending with joy and celebration. Even so, traditional recipes are significantly altered for the celebration.  During a visit to a relative's home, it became more apparent that not only did the dishes on the table resemble those of a five-star hotel, but also...  The golden-coloured cutlery placed on the table created the illusion of an upscale hotel. Each item placed on the table served as a reminder of the refined and opulent way of life.

TGA & drugs ban

Therapeutic Goods Administration will move to ban compounding pharmacists from making their own versions of injectable weight loss drugs. 
This step has been undertaken due to concerns raised on the compounded products for not being safe or effective completely.

The skyrocketing demand for drugs such as Ozempic and Mounjaro are generally approved for diabetes and widely used off-label for weight loss. 

This has led to global supply problems and chronic shortages in Australia. 

Last year, the shortage was enabling Australian pharmacists to use a regulatory loophole to replicate the brand name drugs and ship them to consumers with a script across the country. 

Now the TGA has unveiled a proposal to stop pharmacists from being able to compound the GLP -1 type medications including semaglutide, the active ingredient in the drug Ozempic.

Would the drugs have been taken up this laxity in a new light? The patients will have the quick opportunity to take comfort in TikTok’s unabashed decision? Yes, because it had then be capably grasp the adverse reaction.
