Produsen Kosmetik Bisa Dapatkan Izin BPOM Secara Online

Produsen atau pelaku usaha kosmetika termasuk UKM sekarang bisa mendapatkan izin dari Badan Pengawas Obat dan Makanan (BPOM) secara lebih mudah melalui notifikasi online.

"Ini merupakan upaya kita untuk mengikuti harmonisasi ASEAN tentang kosmetik yang harusnya dilakukan tahun 2008, tapi di Indonesia baru berlaku tahun 2011 ini," jelas Sri Indrawati, Dirjen Obat dan Kelengkapan Farmasi dalam acara temu media di Gedung Kemenkes, Jakarta, Jumat (4/3/2011).

Menurut Sri, kebijakan baru yang mulai berlaku  sejak tanggal 1 Januari 2011 ini akan memudahkan usaha kosmetik dalam negeri untuk mengikuti harmonisasi ASEAN, serta mendorong mereka agar mampu berdaya saing dengan produk-produk kosmetik asing.

"Dulu produk kosmetik harus registrasi dulu, tapi dengan notifikasi ini produsen cukup mendaftarkan produknya secara online. Jadi mempermudah industri kosmetik menjual produk-produknya di Indonesia," jelas Sri.

Dra Kustantinah, Apt, M.App.Sc, Kepala BPOM, menjelaskan bahwa notifikasi online ini membuat Indonesia menjadi salah satu negara yang menerapkan sistem pendaftaran online, selain Malaysia dan Singapura.

"Kalau sistem lama kan produsen harus bolak-balik, kasihan yang di luar Jakarta, jadi kita bikin terobosan," jelas Dra Kustantinah.

Berikut beberapa manfaat dari kebijakan baru notifikasi online yang disampaikan Dra Kustantinah:

   1. Meningkatkan transparansi dan akuntabilitas pelayanan publik
   2. Mempercepat akses produsen dan konsumen terhadap produk
   3. Mempermudah proses permohonan notifikasi karena dapat dilakukan dari seluruh Indonesia
   4. Menghindari potensi penyalahgunaan wewenang oleh petugas Badan POM.


Notifikasi kosmetika kepada Badan POM dilakukan dengan tata cara tertentu dan harus memenuhi persyaratan yang telah diharmonisasi di ASEAN. Notifikasi harus dilakukan oleh pelaku usaha yang bertanggung jawab terhadap kosmetika tersebut sebelum diproduksi dan/ atau diedarkan.

"Pelaku usaha bertanggung jawab penuh terhadap keamanan, mutu dan klaim manfaat kosmetika yang dinotifkasi," lanjut Dra Kustantinah.

Saat masih diberlakukan registrasi konvensional, sebelum kosmetika beredar harus dilakukan evaluasi keamanan dan mutu produk. Dengan diberlakukannya sistem online ini, maka evaluasi dilakukan oleh sistem online.

"Jika data yang dimasukkan tidak sesuai dengan ketetapan BPOM, maka otomatis akan ditolak oleh sistem," jelas Dra Kustantinah.

Selain itu, juga dilakukan pengecekan post marketing control yang bisa dilakukan sewaktu-waktu oleh petugas BPOM.

"Bila produk yang ada di pasaran ternyata tidak sesuai dengan data notifikasi, maka itu sepenuhnya menjadi tanggung jawab produsen," jelas Drs Ruslan Aspan, Apt, MM, Deputi Bidang Pengawasan Obat Tradisional, Kosmetika dan Produk Komplemen BPOM.

Untuk itu, kepada masyarakat hendaknya dapat melindungi dirinya sendiri dengan cara cermat dalam memilih dan membeli kosmetika sesuai kebutuhan, cermat dalam menggunakan kosmetika dan cermat membaca informasi yang tercantum pada label atau kemasan kosmetika.

To create a healthy brain needs food intake can increase the brain and do some exercises or activities that can maintain cognitive function of the brain.

Here are some easy ways you can do to nourish the organs of the brain, as quoted from the LIVESTRONG, Tuesday (02/22/2011), namely:

Providing good food for the brain
More than half of the brain consists of fat, so fat is needed by the brain to maintain the sharpness of thinking and functioning properly.

Fat is needed, such as omega-3 fatty acids are important for brain function and cognitive development, as well as the use of good fats such as olive or canola oil.

Besides fat, green vegetables can also help protect the brain from Alzheimer's disease and dementia (senility). Based on a 2009 study published in the journal Archives of Neurology showing that spinach and other green vegetables that contain folic could ward off dementia and other cognitive impairment conditions.

Why Men Play Physical affection If Emotions?

Why Men Play Physical affection If Emotions?

Men tend to vent their anger that emotion with physical play such as hitting. Then came the words do not go near a man who was emotional because he could become a creature of the rough.

Instead women tend to grumble when you're angry. Why do men prefer to play physical when angry?

According to research, men and women really think differently. This is because of differences in brain anatomy between men and women.

Dr. Charles E. Damping, SpKJ from the Department of Psychiatry at the Faculty of medicine-RSCM Press Conference The 4th Annual Women's Health Expo in FKUI-RSCM, explains that the brains of men and women differ in the chemical, spatial, verbal, memory and the gray matter and white matter.

In chemicals, women's brains contain more serotonin, which makes it behave more peaceful than men. In addition, women's brains also have oxytocin, a substance that binds human with other humans or with more objects.

"Two things affect the brain's biological tendency of men to act in advance rather than talk. That's why men are more easy to hit when angry, if not nagging old lady," said Dr. Charles E. Damping, SpKJ.

While spatially, the area of the brain cortex sucked more men to perform spatial functions and tend to give a little on the local portion korteksnya to produce and use words.

Corpus collosum male brain is smaller than a quarter of the female brain. When the male brain uses only the right brain hemisphere, brain woman can maximize both.

"That's why women are more talkative (fussy) than men," said Dr Charles.

Research on the gray matter and white matter of the brain, showed that in general men have gray matter 6.5 times greater than women, whereas white matter 10 times more women than men, as reported by LiveScience, Thursday (03/03/2011 .)

It makes men more likely to excel in fields that require local processes such as mathematics. While women are more superior in the field of integerasi and assimilation (adaptation) information such as language skills.

And in memory, the memory center (hippocampus) in women's brains bigger than the male brain. This makes him easy to forget, while the woman can remember every detail.

"Hence, the mothers do not get mad if my husband had forgotten an important date, because it's much less memory than the female brain," added Dr. Charles.

From the difference in brain anatomy and function, not surprising that the outlook and behavior of men and women differ significantly.

No man who is not Watch Porn

No man who is not Watch Porn

Where there is pornography there is a man. Research conducted scientists discover all adult men were watching porn. Surprisingly habit first began when the average male age of 10 years.

Researchers from the University of Montreal Canada doing research in 2009. Initially, researchers just want to find a man aged in their early 20s who have never seen pornography.

"We could not find a single man who had never seen pornography," said Professor Simon Louis Lajeunesse as quoted by the Telegraph, Tuesday (01/02/2011).

"But pornography does not change the perception of men against women or interfere with the relationship with her partner. In fact, most of them pretty conventional sexual style," said Prof Lajeunesse.

Who feared the rise of pornography will have negative effects for those who are not yet mature. Moreover, the results of the study was a desire to see pornography on average occur when a child 10 years of age.

Psychologist Andayani Ramelan, Psi from the University of Esa Unggul ever contacted detikHealth said the children would find pornography because it was originally filled with curiosity and wonder.

2. Give the notion of sexual relations, but need not be told in detail.
Say that 'sexual relations should only be done by a husband & wife are valid according to religion and the state'.

3. Associate with moral and religious education.
Tell me if sexual relations without marriage is not true and will get a sin. Tell him, 'God does not like people who watch porn videos you know ...'

4. Let me know cause and effect when the act was done.
Explain that the action was going to embarrass himself, his family and those around him.

5. Ask the child about the views and opinions.

"Starting with the reduced interest in porn films, then followed by decrease in sex drive in real life. The worst impact is the inability to have erections," said Carlo Foresta, experts from Societa Italiana seskologi in Andrologia Medica (SIAM).

In the annual meeting held recently in Italy, SIAM reveals that 7.8 million of 27 million Internet users in Italy, or about 28.9 percent is routinely accessed pornographic sites. Quoted from Lifeinitaly, Sunday (27/02/2011), 73 percent of that number male sex.

When grouped by age, 3.9 percent of men addicted to pornography since the age began under 13 years and 5.9 percent at age 14-18 years. The group that started addicted to pornography since the teenage years is the most widely experienced sexual anorexia at age of 20 years.

A similar study was conducted at the University of Montreal, Canada in 2009. As a result, all the male respondents surveyed had ever watched a porn movie and start watching it on average at age 10. Impact is the same, the men who are too young to know pornography tend to loss of libido as adults.

Pereda Drug Users Natural Impotence Pain More Often

Pereda Drug Users Natural Impotence Pain More Often

Though claimed to be safe for the heart, some pain medication still remains a risk to sexual health. Men who regularly take pain relievers to 5 times per week had a 38 percent higher risk of experiencing erectile dysfunction.

Class of pain reliever that increases the risk of impotence is a Non-Steroid Anti-Inflammatory (NSAIDs), including aspirin, acetaminophen and ibuprofen. Presumably, these drugs could inhibit peroduksi hormones needed for an erection.

Research conducted by Dr. Joseph Gleason of the Los Angeles show, 30 percent of men who used NSAIDs regularly 5 times a week had mild erectile dysfunction. If converted to other factors including age and weight, the risk to 38 percent.

It was concluded after Dr. Gleason, who is a specialist doctor venereal spread questionnaires to 81,000 men aged 45-69 years related to drinking habits of drugs and sexual problems. The results were already published in the latest issue of the Journal of Urology.

Although there is no proven direct relationship between pain relief Degnan impotence, Dr. Gleason suspect these drugs increase the risk of blockage of blood vessels in the penis. As a result penis erection problems to be perfect.

This assumption is actually consistent with some previous research which proved that excessive use of aspirin could increase the risk of heart attacks in men. That is, the relationship between pain reliever to the health of blood vessels has been known since long.

"We always say, the penis is the thermometer for a man to measure the health of blood vessels," said Dr. Gleason as quoted by Reuters on Thursday (03/03/2011).

If the heart is only affected by the use of NSAIDs, it is quite reasonable if the penis can also have problems. According to Dr Gleason, blood vessels in the penis is much smaller than the blood vessels to the heart so more prone to blockage.
