HEALTH MINISTRY STEPS UP OUTPUT OF DRUGS ANTIBIOTICS
EXPAND OUTPUT OF DRUGS, MEDICAL INSTRUMENT'S -- Moscow, Izvestiya, 3 Feb 52
In 1952, en*erprises of the Ministry of Health are greatly increasing pro-
duction of drugs which have proven effective in medical practice. The variety
of types of antibiotics is being expanded. Along with penicillin and strepto-
mycin, "albomycin , a preparation for treating a nuwber of children's diseases,
is being more widely used. Synthomycin has turned out very well in the treat-
ment of dysentery, especially in childern. A syL"somycin emulsion has proved to
be effective against trachoma. The production of synthetic hormones such as
methyl testosterone, testosterone, etc., is giving the physician effective weap-
ons against a whole series of diseases. In the last few years the store of drugs
for the treatment of tuberculosis has been enlarged. PASK and "?Pibon" are find-
ing azccassful application.
Much attention is being paid to expanding the prodution and improving the
quality of medical instruments and equipment. The output of diagnostic medical
apparahus is also being expanded. The gastroscope and other instruments, for ex-
ample, are making it possible to examine the inner organs by means of electric
illumination and the transmission of an optical image,
LIMITS PRODUCTION TO THREE PROrT;CTS -- Riga, Sovetskaya Latviya, 18 Jan 52
Last year the cost of med-al preparations put out by the Riga Pharmaceuti-
cal Plant was reduced 26.5 percent. In 1952 the plant faces important new tasks.
Its scope will be sharply limited, for it will produce only synthetic prepara-
tions, PASK, furacylin, and terpinol hydrate. Output of PASK is being increased
47 percent, and output of terpinol hydrate is being more than doubled.
Work is now being done on re-equipment of the shops for the production of
PASK and the preparation of terpinol hydrate. The production cycle has been cut,
which mrkes it possible to prepare more of this preparation with less equipment.
Workers and specialists at the enterprise are striving to master output of
new medical preparations. -- S. Kaganovich, chief of the Planning-Production
Division of the Riga Pharmaceutical Plant

RBW TECHROLOGIES STEP UP OUTPUT OF MEDICAL PREPARATIONS -- Moscow, Moskovskaya
Pravda, 1 Feb 52
For a comber of years the Roginak Akrikhin Plant has been successfully:
striving to speed up its production processes. In 1951 the plan was fulfilled
in every item by 1 December, production costs were reduced, and quality of out-
put was improved.
As a result of intensive research and organizat;onal and technical work,
the coefficients of utilization of equipment were increased. Hence, the plant
produced consid"rably more m. .4 cal preparations than in 1950. Production of
pyramidon, otreptocide, and rivanol increas^d greatly. In 1952, the plant must
increase okt_it 11 times and reduce production costs, in spite of the fact that
equipment is now apparently being fully utilized.
All possible measures are being taken to further improve production. In
the production of paranitrobenzoic acid, th ..aethod of feeding materia:s for the
chemical reaction was changed. Oil of vitriol was supplied from above, and
bichromate from below. The change made it possible to speed up the process and
to increase output of acid. A new method was also worked out for continuous
cold washing and d.,,ring of ethyl acetate. This had been one of the bottlenecks
of the plant, which slowed down the output of pyramidon. Productivity of this
operation is now doubled.
SETS UP NEW SHOP FOR VITAMIN E -- Petrozavodsk, Leninskqe Znamya, 27 Jan 52
A shop for the i.perimental production of Vitamin E has been set up at the
Kiev Vitamin Plant. The plant is fitted out with first-class equipment. Tests
on the apparatus and machines have produced good results.
PRODUCES 15 IIFZ4S IN AMPULES -- Yerevan, Konnmxnist, 8 Feb 52
The ampule shop of the Yerevan Pharmaceutical Chemical Plant of he Pharma-
ceutical Administration is producing almost 15 types of different preparations
in ampules. The shop fulfilled its January plan 140 percent.
