EZC Pak, the 5-Day Immune Support Pack Targeting Inappropriate Antibiotic Use to Debut at 2015 Natural Products Expo West

    ANAHEIM, CA, March 05, 2015 /24-7PressRelease/ -- The EZC Pak, the first physician designed 5-day tapered immune support pack, is debuting at the Natural Products Expo West in Anaheim, CA March 6th - 8th, 2015. Formulated utilizing the best available evidence in its core components, the EZC Pak was created by a physician concerned about growing antibiotic resistance and complications from inappropriate antibiotic prescribing patterns. The EZC Pak is designed to help reduce inappropriate antibiotic use while maintaining patient satisfaction.

The EZC Pak was created by Dr. Sarath Malepati, the Founder and Medical Director of the PPC Group, a California-based health research and product design team focused on improving patient care and public health through expanding transparency and knowledge transfer between clinicians and patients. The PPC Group works to develop simple solutions for common healthcare problems that support closing the knowledge gap between clinicians and patients.

"Over 80% of upper respiratory infections are viral, not bacterial, and as such, cannot be treated with antibiotics," said Dr. Malepati. "Inappropriate antibiotic use and rising drug resistance is a major global health problem that must be addressed at all levels of our communities and society. Without behavioral changes to antibiotic use, it is now projected that global deaths from drug-resistant infections will surpass cancer by 2050. The EZC Pak was conceived as a tangible solution to relieve patient pressure and reduce inappropriate antibiotic prescribing patterns. Through our work with EZC, we hope to improve knowledge transfer between clinicians and patients around the appropriate use of antibiotics and the problems associated with their inappropriate and indiscriminate use."

EZC Pak is available online at ezcpak.com for $19.99 and will be available at additional online retailers, an expanding number of medical offices and centers, pharmacies, and retail stores later this year.
