ABSTRACT
This project is written to help Chemist and Drugs Companies especially Inland chemist Enugu in the areas they encounter problems in keeping their record and the solution given to tackle those problem.
The research was carried out of many
difficulties such as time factors, money and inability to get much information
that could have been of help. But still with all those the researcher came up
with something readable and valuable to any body that goes through it.

CHAPTER ONE
INTRODUCTION
Usage of Information Technology (IT) remained comparatively very less in Health sector than other sectors despite having more potential. Health Institutions, which is important sector, should encourage IT usage resulting better productivity, effectiveness, efficiency and economics leading to better health care to all. This paper tells a success story of implementation of ICT in monitoring of medicine in health Institutions. System works on low-end resources and E-mail based data transfer from District Hard Quarter to State Head Quarter. Implementation of Med-Centre in all the districts of Enugu results in check on pilferage of medicine, increase in availability of medicine at Government Institution, increase in attendance of patient/doctors in health institution, optimal utilization of medicine and data capturing at source, resulting in availability of error-free data at State Head quarter
Every day, the health of Nigerians is threatened by adverse events caused by errors in the manual entry and processing of drug prescriptions. For each prescription allergy, drug-to-drug and drug-to-diagnosis interactions should be checked against a complete medication profile and a legible prescription should be produced for the pharmacist to dispense. In general, across Canada, this is not always the case today.
Drug Information Systems Program is focused on creating an interoperable drug information system that will carry all data concerning a patient’s medication history: prescribed and dispensed drugs, allergies, ongoing drug treatment, etc., in order to ensure patient safety. Drug and drug-interaction checks are performed automatically and added to the patients’ drug profiles in their Electronic Health Record (EHR). These systems provide physicians and pharmacists with data to support appropriate and accurate prescribing and dispensing, thereby avoiding adverse drug interactions and possible related deaths.
Also
known are electronic shelf label systems, in which the store’s central computer
downloads price information to electronic shelf labels placed near merchandise
items.
Also known are systems for counting items displayed on the shelves, as part of
routine inventory control or order management, in which a handheld portable
unit is used to either scan or key-in the product’s code and then key-in count
information. Such information is downloaded later into the store computer
through a terminal at the store office.
Drug Industry, that section of industry which manufactures medicinal chemicals and prepares them for use in the prevention or treatment of disease. Some companies engaged in this business manufacture Drug chemicals in bulk (primary manufacture), but all of them prepare them for medical use by methods known collectively as secondary manufacture. These highly automated processes include the production of drugs in single-dose forms, such as tablets, capsules, or sachets for oral administration, solutions for injection, and pessaries and suppositories for insertion into the vagina or rectum respectively.
Immunization An enormous part of the Drug industry’s output consists of vaccines. This girl is pictured receiving an immunization before the start of the school year. Almost all schools in developed countries require that students receive a number of immunizations before beginning classes. Most vaccines are applied through injections, although some are taken orally, most notably the Sabin polio vaccine developed in the mid-1950s. Immunizations protect the body by either helping it to create new antibodies by presenting part or whole of the disease-causing agent to the person’s immune system—a long-term approach—or by providing it with active antibodies, a more temporary solution.Photo Researchers, Inc./Russell D.

Other preparations include liquids such as linctuses and syrups to be taken by mouth, inhalations in metered-dose aerosol sprays, drops for the nose, ears, or eyes, and creams, ointments, lotions, and so on for application to the skin. Some companies make anaesthetics, or contrast media used for visualizing body structures by X-ray or nuclear magnetic resonance imaging (NMR).
Many Drug companies engage in research and development aimed at introducing new and improved treatments. In some countries, each stage of the trial of new medicines involving domestic, farm, or laboratory animals, or human beings, is subject to approval by national licensing authorities. If finally approved, a licence for a new medicine’s use in stated conditions will be issued. In some other countries permission to market may be granted on sight of the licence from the country of origin.
Patent coverage for recently developed or modified medicines is usually granted by most countries for periods averaging 15 years from the licence date. Companies give their innovations brand names, which remain their unique property. Each new drug is also given an official generic name, which remains common property. After patent expiry products may be made and sold under these generic names by any company that can meet the licensing body’s standards.
Most Drug companies operate internationally and own subsidiaries of various sizes in many countries. The old companies originated from, and have their headquarters in, either the United States, Switzerland, or a member country of the European Union. This technologically advanced industry employs many graduates, including biologists, biochemists, chemists, engineers, microbiologists, nurses, pharmacologists, doctors, physicists, and veterinary surgeons. They are employed in research and development (R & D), manufacturing, quality control, marketing, medical representation, public affairs, or general administration.
This has to do with the title of the project, which is the design, and implementation of a computerized Drug Information Directory for a manufacturing industry.
Due to the problem encountered with the inventory control of a Drug industries, the need arise to develop a software that will assist to solve the problem. The problem caused by the use of manual method can only be solved by computerizing the inventory processing.
