Physical and chemical stability of expired fixed dose combination artemether-lumefantrine in uncontrolled tropical conditions

Roger Bate, Richard Tren, Kimberly Hess, Amir Attaran Malaria Journal 2009, 8:33 (25 February 2009)

The data indicate that existing fixed-dose combinations are chemically and physically stable well beyond their stated shelf-life in uncontrolled, tropical conditions. This strongly suggests that a re-evaluation of the two-year shelf-life by drug regulatory authorities is warranted.

Predicting Global Fund grant disbursements for procurement of artemisinin-based combination therapies

Justin M Cohen, Inder Singh, Megan E O'Brien Malaria Journal 2008, 7:200 (2 October 2008)

The paper addresses the important issue of forecasting for ACT. Manufacturers of both raw material and of finished products need information in advance to plan for plantations and production and this has consequences regarding the financial disbursements for the demand for ACT and the various options that are available.
