Antibiotic Production
Mow Two Million Lb*,
New York—Two tnillion founds
of antibiotics—worth roughly $260
million-rfor therapeutic purposes,
is the 1955 prospect for antibiotic
manufacturers in the United States
as seen by a leader in antibiotic
production.
The forecast, made by Frederic
N. Schwartz, president of Bristol
Laboratories Inc., on the basis of
U. S. Department of Commerce re
ports and current industry produc
tion data, envisions an increase of
200 thousand pounds over the 1954
production of 1.8 million pounds,
which was worth $240 million.
“This increase over 1954 takes
into account only antibiotics pro
duced for medical use and does
not include those manufactured
for use in animal feeds or horti
cultural applications,” Schwartz
pointed out. Altogether the ethical
worth of prescription drugs this
pharmaceutical industry will pro
duce sales of a billion dollars’
year. Twenty-six percent of this
amount will be accounted for by
antibiotics.
Twelve years ago, when Bristol
and other pioneer antibiotic pro
ducers first mass-produced penicil
lin, total production for the year
amounted to only twenty-one bil
lion units, or approximately thirty
two pounds. This year’s penicillin
production will probably top 475
trillion units, or approximately
725,000 pounds, Mr. Schwartz said.
The annual growth—at the rate
of more than $20 million a year—
of the antibiotic industry is a mea
sure of the value of the drugs in
virtually eliminating many infec
tious dieases and reducing costs of
medical care, Bristol’s president
explained.
Pneumonia was cited as an ex
ample by Mr. Schwartz. Before
the advent .of antibiotics, a case of
pneumonia cost an estimated three
Months’ pay—and one in four pa
tient* died. Today* the average
pneumonia case is cured at a cost
of only five hours’ ply, and deaths
front pneumonia are uncommon.
More thah a hundred diseases, in
eluding tubeculosis, the venereal
diseases, typhoid and the typhus
fevers, malta and parrot fever, and
even sortie of the viral diseases,
are successfully being treated with
antibiotics.
