Universal Pill for basic illness
Pharmaceutical industry is multi-billion market especially in the Philippines. In fact, our medicine is expensive compare to our neighboring countries even with Cheaper Medicine Act in placed. Based on study, the common sickness for Filipinos are body pain, allergies and colds due to climate change recently caused by Global Warming. Top purchased medicines are antibiotics, antihistamine and pain killers. The average taking of medicines for sick Filipino for every 6 hrs is 3 pills which come in different brands. This is costly and heavy for an average earning Filipino citizen to burden especially the average prescribed medication of a doctor to a patient to take medicines thrice a day for 4-7 days for complete recovery.
As a concern citizen and business student, why don't we come up with a generic universal medicine for antibiotic, antihistamine and pain killer so it'll be cheap and easy for Filipinos. These medicines are over-the-counter drugs which can be bought anytime as needed. Sometimes, Filipinos take wrong type of medicine which is not appropriate for their sickness because of wide array medicines available. Universal pill can reduce or eliminate errors and cost effective for Filipinos available nationwide especially when it fall under the category of generic medicines. Savings gathered to cure common illness by an average earning Filipino can be put on food and education.
To produce this kind of universal pill, I will pool experienced chemist in the country to create a formula. Series of test will be done to ensure human safety when applied. Once approved by FDA, it'll be reasonably priced for reach all Filipinos pockets. I'll collaborate with local government and non-government agencies to reach all types of Filipinos. Partnering with private sector is a good move also so all local drugstore nationwide availability. I'll work closely with government and with media for product awareness and faster information dissemination.4
