    The political world seems to be in a similar predicament to that of advertising. People have been bombarded with so much spin and deliberately ambiguous language that they have simply stopped l
    According to USFDA, a combination product is one composed of any combination of a drug and device; biological product and device; drug and biological product
    istening to political messages. Less people now vote in the UK elections than they do for TV talent show contestants. People have simply lost interest in responding to political campaigns that
    ; or drug, device, and biological product and fixed dose combination would include two or more combinations of drug.

    Examples of combination products may in
    appear little more than contests between marketing and PR departments.

    But over the last year we have witnessed the impact of the connected internet world on politics. Political bloggers have
    lude drug-coated devices, drugs packaged with delivery devices in medical kits, and drugs and devices packaged separately but intended to be used together.

    een able to set the agenda, by pushing stories onto the traditional media, and we have recently seen an unprecedented 2 million votes being cast in a government e-petition. The time is ripe for
    here is enormous increase in the number of combination products entering the market in the recent years. Combination products have proven advantages but fixe
    the political world to start understanding the changing mindsets that the internet is creating, and to be aware of the possible repercussions of failing to engage with their voters online.

    Th
    d dose combinations are still in the process of convincing regulatory authority on their advantages over the single ingredient formulations.

    Combination pro
    e Digital Dialogue study was launched last year to assess how the internet could be used to improve and promote communication between politicians and the public.

    The study observed various gov
    ucts have become life saving products for the pharmaceutical companies who doesn’t have many innovative molecules in their product pipeline and have been inc
    rnment departments as they got to grips with blogs, forums and webchats. The aim is to assess how they could be incorporated into the political process and assist politicians to become more res
    easingly used in the product life cycle management. Even the companies having product patents are trying to extend their product life cycle through the combi
    ponsive and more in touch with public opinion.

    The study is being carried out over two phases of six months. The results of the first phase were released last December. These were some of its
    nation products and maximize the revenues. But the companies involved in this practice are overlooking that they are burdening the patients both economically
    key findings:

    • Government departments found they were able to interact more closely with the public, rather than maintain the ‘stand-back and watch’ approach of traditional communication chan
    and physically. They need to rightly judge the benefits of the combination products and they have to even look at the risks involved when combining the produ
    els.

    • Senior managers were keen to push the projects forward recognising that “the public has been a silent partner in the development, delivery and evaluation of policy and services for too
    ts. Some of the combination products were well accepted by physicians while others suffered. Companies involved in development of combination products are fi
    long.”

    • Learning how to most effectively utilise the new communication tools at their disposal would take time with the need to assess the budget requirements, time management and how to inco
    ding difficulty in defining their combination products and facing various challenges from selecting a combination to marketing it.

    Following aspects would a
    rporate with the existing channels.

    • The response of the public had been “enthusiasm tempered with a healthy scepticism.” People were keen to have the opportunity to be able to engage with po
    dd to the challenges in developing combination products:

    Which markets to tap where the combination products can do fairly well?
    Which combination prod
    icy makers, but had serious doubts as to how genuine the invitation for their input was or what influence their opinions would actually have.

    • The government policy teams felt that the input
    cts are meaningful and rational?
    Which therapeutic categories to select?
    Which Combinations can address unmet needs of the patients?
    Do combin
    of the public had been valuable and incisive. It will, however, take time to quantify what impact their input has had on policy decisions.

    • Overall the exercise “benefited government to explo
    tions increase the patient compliance?
    What would be the developing cost?
    How to tackle the risks encountered during combination product developmen
    re alternative routes, develop new skills and send out a statement about its commitment to better engagement and more transparent decision-making processes.”

    The second phase of the study is n
    t?

    As combination products don't fit into the traditional categories of drugs, medical devices, or biological products, the USFDA is in the process of devel
    w in operation and due to be completed by the end of spring. The study’s organisers will be aiming to further develop the practices explored in phase one, and expand them into using wikis, podc
    ping new procedures for reviewing their safety, efficacy and quality.

    asting and audio-visual blogs.

    It remains to be seen how seriously senior politicians would absorb the input of the general public. The complexity behind many government decisions would make i
    y and representatives from various regulatory agencies are working out to design the regulatory requirements for manufacture and sale of combination products
    t irresponsible to decide policy simply based on the public clamour.

    The Digital Dialogue study does, however, demonstrate how more businesses and institutions are learning to get to grips wit
    .

    As there is an increasing trend of the combination products companies manufacturing such products should be able to tackle the problems involved in the de
    the new mindsets being created by the connected online world. One way communication is dated and dying. Two way engagement, transparency and responsiveness are on the rise. Now anybody in a de
    elopment. They need to be wiser in analyzing the market trends and the regulatory requirements.

    Companies that provide selfless information through particip
    mocratic society with an internet connection can have their own soap box to say what they think. And now more politicians are learning that they have to be able to listen, as well as to dictate


    tion in industry events and feedback to regulatory authorities would be able to face the challenges and will be successful in developing combination products
