[Energy drinks have been gaining unbroken popularity, especially among youngsters and children since they were introduced to the market. Manufacturers promise to improve performance and stamina with consuming the products, classified as non-alcoholic soft drinks. In addition to the vitamins and plant extracts, they contain a significant amount of caffeine and other stimulants (taurine, guarana). Among the active ingredients, caffeine has an outstanding effect and thereby a danger, since its overconsumption – in addition to milder he­mo­dynamic changes – can cause severe cardio­vascular consequences, cardiac arrhythmias, ion channel diseases, increased blood coagulation, myocardial infarction or reduced cerebral blood flow in susceptible consumers. Many case studies have also reported serious cardiovascular attacks among young chronic energy drink consumers. Health impairments of excessive and long-term consumption of energy drinks have been studied increasingly, however there is limited and contradictory evidence on the safety of consumption and the effectiveness of performance enhancement. ]

[The original patent drugs appear immediately on expiry of all rights in generic and biosimilar drugs in the pharmaceutical market, favorable supply option which helps in the rational management of medicines, mainly for generic drugs cheaper to allow more patient care. Of course, this is a well-organized legal and regulatory framework, thoughtful strategy can be successful in every respect. In another non-identical molecular structure biosimilar drugs in different immunogenicity of knowledge and risk is not defined in clinical practice and therefore the risk is still underestimated and not well regulated in the world, and increasing the number reported is the antibody formation case of a biosimilar erythropioetin also. The immunogenicity of original biological and of biosimilar drugs in identifying, defining a prominent role in the post-marketing surveillance, pharmacovigilance, and the special methods of control of immunogenicity. The original and the biosimilar medicines interchangeability, marketability of the assets relating to the regulations are not uniform in Europe or the European registration scheme is an important new biosimilar medicinal products, is that the medicinal product, the documentation is not expected to be accompanied by a risk management plan, as well as action to ensure the safety (pharmacovigilance) as part of the collection and reporting of adverse reactions to the official. It is important that the professional management of renal anemia guidelines - the practice of nephrology erythropoietin therapy - clearly define the biological medicines (originator and biosimilar erythropoietin) application requirements and suggestions. Consequently, this summary wants to draw attention to the therapeutic potential of biosimilar drugs, generic drugs to distinguish between explicit and the potential risks and the need to reduce the risks of professional and health policy decisions.]

[Smoking causes a health catastrophy all over the world. Its importance is increasing in the less developed countries. More and more young people (especially women) have started smoking recently. Its devastating effect on women carries on to the next generations. Prevention should already begin in childhood. In Hungary, there is a wide network to assist for those who want to give up smoking - especially in the national network of lung health care clinics. Peer supporters have a prominent role in helping these patients. The market-strategy and publicity campaign of major tobacco producers also deserves intensive attention.]

[Complementary and alternative medicine (CAM) use is increasing in the plural healthcare market of our globalized world. Aside from a healthcare market, we may also speak of a “worldview market” in which various concepts of health and illness compete with each other and in which patients strive to orient themselves. In a milieu of prolific information production, “facts” are increasingly under subjective judgement. Thus topics such as mechanisms underlying the appraisal of information sources regarding healthcare, as well as processes behind decision-making and building or losing trust have risen in significance. Orientation in the sea of information is largely determined by global trends, societal-level phenomena, as well as cultural dispositions or preferences that take root in the individual; these factors also influence therapy choice. Such preferences include that of “holism” and the “natural”, as well as a desire for initiation; these dispositions play a vital role in information processing and decision-making, for example when the patient is weighing whether to turn to a psychiatrist or a CAM specialist. ]
