Iran to Unveil 8 New Drugs Tomorrow
TEHRAN (FNA)- Iran announced on Monday that it will unveil 8 new types of hi-tech medicines used for treating various kinds of diseases tomorrow.
"Haemophilus influenza vaccine which can be applied for preventing children's meningitis, new-formula Factor 8 for hemophilia patients and Herceptin used for treating breast cancer are among the medicines to be unveiled tomorrow," Iranian Deputy Health Minister for Research and Technology Mostafa Qaneyee told FNA on Monday.
He said that the FSH hormone for treating infertility, PTH hormone for treating the parathyroid gland and bone disorders, PegGcss drug for hematopoiesis after chemotherapy, Etanercept drug for treating swollen joints and Leuprolide drug for treating prostate cancer and in some cases in treating infertility will also be unveiled on Tuesday.
Iran has taken wide strides in science and technology, particularly in medical and medicinal fields, in recent years.
Iranian Health Minister Marziyeh Vahid Dastjerdi announced earlier this month that Iran is now able to synthesize 15 kinds of radiomedicines inside the country, stressing that the achievement was made due to the efforts made by the country's nuclear scientists.
"Due to the efforts made by the Iranian scientists and the nuclear scientists martyred (by the enemies), we have 15 radiomedicines in our country which are vital for providing diagnosis and treatment services to the patients, specially cancerous patients," she said in a ceremony in Tehran at the time.
Also, in January, Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad in a ceremony in Tehran unveiled 6 new types of home-made medicines used for treating various kinds of diseases.
The Iranian president unveiled 2 new types of drugs and 4 types of raw materials for treating osteoporosis, hemophilia and neurological, skin and muscle diseases and breast cancer.
Iranian scientists had also in 2011 managed to produce a new type of anti-cancer drug using the venoms of reptiles like snakes and scorpions.
"After several years of research and studies on a combination of snake and scorpion venoms, the anti-cancer drug was produced in Iran," Abbas Zare', the Director of the Venomous Animals Department of Iran's Razi Vaccine and Serum Research Institute, told reporters in October.
"This anti-cancer drug has been produced from snake and scorpion venoms after 10 years of research work and has been extracted from the fat (peptide) of such animals," he added.
