Latest-generation Western Apomorphine Therapy Devices for Parkinson’s Patients Launched in Bengaluru

Posted on by City Today News (City today.media)

* This is for the first time that advanced, third-generation apomorphine pumps and pens used in Western countries, manufactured by German pharma major Ever Pharma, have been introduced in India by Celera Neuro Sciences
* These latest European drug-delivery devices are miles ahead of current apomorphine pumps available in India, which are unreliable and patient-unfriendly
* Apomorphine therapy offers an effective treatment option for various stages of Parkinson’s Disease. It can also be an alternative to DBS surgery which involves drilling holes in the patient’s skull and is unaffordable for most patients
* Celera Neuro Sciences is opening clinics in hospitals all over India in collaboration with prominent neurologists to administer apomorphine therapy to patients with these latest-generation Western pumps and pens

BENGALURU / March 5, 2021 : In a boon to patients of Parkinson’s Disease, advanced third-generation D-mine apomorphine pumps and pens (injections) manufactured by German pharma major Ever Pharma have been launched in Bengaluru by Celera Neuro Sciences.

The state-of-the-art apomorphine-delivery devices, widely used in Europe, were unveiled by Dr. K Sudhakar, Hon’ble Minister of Medical Education & Health, Govt. of Karnataka, at the ongoing symposium on Parkinson’s Disease in Bengaluru, organized by King’s College London (KCL) and Parkinson’s Research Alliance of India (PRAI).

Said Dr. K Sudhakar, Hon’ble Minister of Medical Education and Health, Govt. of Karnataka: “Considering the rising patient population of Parkinson’s disease and other movement disorders in India, it is important to focus on technology and research for treatment solutions. Karnataka has a phenomenal healthcare and medical education ecosystem. We now need to increase investments in medical research. We want this collaboration between King’s College London (KCL) and Parkinson’s Research Alliance of India (PRAI) on Parkinson’s disease to be successful and will provide support in every possible way. I would like the Rajiv Gandhi University of Health Sciences to align with this great research initiative. We would provide not only professors, but also funds for this important research program on Parkinson’s. I would also like to allocate some funds for treatment of Parkinson’s patients in Karnataka out of the Suvarna Arogya Suraksha Trust. This will be announced shortly by us after discussions.”

Said Dr. Babu Narayanan, Medical Director, Celera Neuro Sciences which has brought the products to India after getting DCGI approval: “Parkinson’s patients in India till now had only two options: oral pills for early stages of the disease, or Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS) surgery for advanced stages. There was no other treatment available. These latest-generation European apomorphine-delivery devices fill this gap and offer an important medical option in the management of Parkinson’s Disease and improving quality of life. They ensure much better outcomes for patients who haven’t achieved optimum benefits with available drugs or are suffering from side-effects of oral medications.”

Said Bengaluru’s renowned Parkinson’s Disease specialist Dr. Prashanth LK: “India is emerging as a hot spot for Parkinson’s disease. Unlike most ageing-related disorders, Parkinson’s has many effective treatment options available. Apomorphine infusion therapies and rescue injections (pens) are the current state-of-the-art therapies for people with moderately advanced Parkinson’s disease. The PRAI-KCL collaboration has helped bring these advanced German devices to India for apomorphine therapy. These can be used as rescue therapies in people having unpredictable responses to oral medications, or as an infusion therapy for those requiring steady phase medication responses.”
Added Dr. Babu Narayanan: “Most patients in India cannot afford DBS. This procedure is also not a choice for all ages or stages of Parkinson’s Disease. Apomorphine is recommended for patients who have started to have motor fluctuations, which means the effect of oral medications is not lasting long enough. It is also an effective alternative for patients who are not the right candidates for DBS, or those who want to avoid surgery. In fact, international guidelines now recommend use of apomorphine therapy before considering DBS for patients. We are now in the process of opening clinics in hospitals all over India in collaboration with prominent neurologists who will administer apomorphine therapy to patients with these latest-generation Western pumps and pens.”
The current apomorphine pumps available in India are not patient-friendly and lack reliability. For example, patients need to refill them after breaking up to 20 ampules of apomorphine, which is difficult to do with trembling hands. In contrast, the third-generation D-mine apomorphine pumps, widely used in Europe, can be self-handled by patients in five easy steps, with much less patient training needed. The pump-filling process is controlled electronically, with much higher safety and convenience, compared to pumps which are operated manually, with cumbersome procedures. D-mine pumps are pre-filled and offer continuous infusion of apomorphine, leading to absorption within five minutes. The oral pill burden of patients also comes down substantially.
Parkinson’s patients need to take medications at timely intervals, which often leads to fluctuating levels of medication in their bodies and irregular benefits. Continuous Dopaminergic Therapy is a method by which the body receives dopamine on a continuous basis, because of which fluctuations associated with medications are negated significantly. With the launch of D-mine apomorphine continuous-infusion pumps and injection pens, Indian patients can now benefit from Continuous Dopaminergic Therapy, which till now was available only in Western countries.
The current prevalence of Parkinson’s Disease in India is around 300-400 out of 100,000, which is expected to double by 2030. It will be a major non-communicable degenerative disorder along with dementia to burden the healthcare system of India. Though majority of the patients are above 50 years of age, its incidence in younger population is also on the rise.

Bangalore’s First Interactive Concept store for Hearing Impairment

Posted on by City Today News (City today.media)

‘Brilliant Sound Galaxy (BSG)’ opens in Bangalore

The store at Koramagala in Bangalore was inaugurated by Iconic Bollywood Singer and Signia Cause Ambassador Mr. Sudesh Bhosle and Syed Kirmani Indian cricketer along with Mr. Avinash Pawar, CEO & Managing Director, Sivantos India Pvt. Ltd.

Thursday, February 24, 2022; Bangalore; India: Signia, a leader in the hearing aid industry, today announced the launch of ‘Brilliant Sound Galaxy (BSG)’, the first store of its kind in Bangalore, where consumers can self-discover aspects of hearing, self-screen their hearing, experience hearing live with hearing aids and take an informed decision to enhance their hearing journey. As per WHO estimates in India, there are approximately 63 million people, who are suffering from Significant Auditory Impairment; this places the estimated prevalence at 6.3% in the Indian population.
The store was inaugurated by Iconic Bollywood Singer and Signia Cause Ambassador Mr. Sudesh Bhosle and Syed Kirmani Indian cricketer along with Mr. Avinash Pawar, CEO & Managing Director, Sivantos India Pvt. Ltd. The Brilliant Sound Galaxy is an interpretation of modern-day hearing care that provides complete quality hearing care solutions for hearing-impairment. BSG is a completely new interactive concept with hearing experiences, iconic innovations, products and services and expert audiological advice under one roof.
“Hearing loss is the most common sensory deficit in humans today. There is a stigma associated with hearing loss that is well known. Many factors contribute to the stigma, but perhaps the biggest one is that we don’t talk about it enough. Untreated hearing loss has social, physical and psychological consequences. With the launch of BSG, we aim to provide a youthful and inclusive experience that reframes assumptions about hearing aids and empowers consumers to take their own decision. Here, clinical services transform into an active journey that takes hearing aids beyond devices, celebrating great design.” said Mr. Pawar.
Bangalore’s first Brilliant Sound Galaxy will be operated by Aanvii Hearing Solutions Pvt. Ltd, a professionally run hearing care company established in 2014 by Mr. Vishal B. Shah. Aanvii Hearing Solutions has more than 55 centres spread across Karnataka, Tamil Nadu, Telangana, Maharashtra, Gujarat, Delhi, Chandigarh & UP. These centers are equipped with the latest state-of-the-art diagnostic facilities and cutting-edge technology to optimize and fit hearing aids for all age groups.

“Aanvii Group is the largest Signia Exclusive retail chain in India. Inaugurating the BSG center is a step forward to deliver innovative hearing solutions and our commitment towards serving the hearing-impaired population. This step will help to create awareness and reduce the stigma associated with hearing aids. Aanvii Group is also planning to expand the operations and penetrate Tier-II & III market and work towards increasing the awareness about hearing loss. At our BSG, qualified & experienced audiologists will help in investigating the problem and provide specific solutions to improve the quality of life of the consumer,” said Mr. Vishal Shah, CEO – Aanvii Hearing Solutions Pvt Ltd .
