The work is devoted to the results of complex marketing research of all combined cardiovascular drugs. The market of combined drugs from group C according to the ATC classification in 41 countries of the world during 2019-2022 was analyzed. Segment markets of the 27 European Union countries, Albania, Belarus, Bosnia and Hercegovina, Canada, Colоmbia, Great Britain, India, Moldova, Norway, Russian Federation, Switzerland, and Ukraine, were studied. The pharmaceutical market of Australia and the United States were also studied. The structure of this group of drugs was characterized, and the most common combinations in the analyzed markets were...

Čes. slov. farm. 2023, 72(2):95-99 | DOI: 10.5817/CSF2023-2-95
Given the role of the microbial factor in the development of infectious-inflammatory processes in the oral mucosa, the research aim was to study the antimicrobial action of a new combined dental gel containing Rotocan® (10%) and triclosan (0.4%) in vitro and in the traumatic stomatitis in albino rats. Rotrin-Denta® exhibited strong antimicrobial activity against etalon strains of gram-positive (S. aureus ATTC 6538, S. pyogenes DICK 1, B. subtilis ATCC 6633) and gramnegative (E. coli ATCC 25922) bacteria, which exceeded the action of the reference drug Camident-Zdorovia® and weak effects on pseudomonads (P....

Colour and content of some metals in honey
Jan Šubert, Jozef Kolář, Jozef Čižmárik
Čes. slov. farm. 2023, 72(2):59-62 | DOI: 10.5817/CSF2023-2-59
The paper highlights the correlations between the results of instrumental colour measurement and the content of certain metals in kinds of honey. Sufficiently close correlations may lead to the development of procedures for the rapid determination of the content of these metals in honey by colour measurement without the need for more demanding sample preparation.
Selective inhibitors of cyclooxygenase 2 - their past, present and future
Simona Valášková, Ján Kyselovič, Andrea Gažová

Pain is a serious subjective experience, which, although it has a protective nature, it physically and mentally exhausts the patient. The pharmacological field of development and research in the treatment and relief of pain has been dynamic and interesting ever since the isolation of salicylic acid. After discovering the molecular nature of cyclooxygenase and its inhibition, research focused on selective COX-2 inhibitors, but they were a big disappointment. Today, the possibility of contributing to safe and effective analgesic-antiphlogistic treatment for the patient with a combination of drugs is emerging again.

The concept of pharmaceutical care (PC) has existed as a professional philosophy for more than 30 years. However, for a long period of time, little had been done for its integration into the regular practice of healthcare provision. The COVID-19 pandemic and the resulting increase in patient influx in the community pharmacies (CP) encouraged the exploration and establishment of new healthcare services provided within the CP. Nevertheless, these services of PC are still novel, and more can be done to expand the community pharmacists' current role in primary healthcare. This can be achieved by improving and expanding the newly established services, all...
