Abstract:

AbstractA short description is given of the interplay between the pharmaceutical industry and its critics regarding the rational use of medicines since the 1960s. This was especially vigorous in the developing countries but also had ramifications in the industrialized world. The initiatives taken by the World Health Organization in starting a dialogue between the industry representatives in the International Federation of Pharmaceutical Manufacturers Associations and the critical voices of Health Action International are specially emphasized.

Abstract:

ABSTRACTWhile there is growing evidence of the increasing use of medicines by the elderly, research undertaken to critically examine differences among types of medicine users in this population is limited. Using population data, we examine the influence of social, demographic, and health-related factors on likelihood of being a non-user, a user of non-prescribed medicines only, or a user of prescription medicines only. We find some evidence of the rational use of drugs (i.e., those who are in better health are more likely to be non-users or to use non-prescribed medicines than those who are in

Abstract:

A focused reflection on rational medicines use in neonates is valuable and relevant, because indicators to assess rational medicines use are difficult to apply to neonates. Polypharmacy and exposure to antibiotics are common, while dosing regimens or clinical guidelines are only rarely supported by robust evidence in neonates. This is at least in part due to the extensive variability in pharmacokinetics and subsequent effects of medicines in neonates. Medicines utilization research informs us on trends, on between unit variability and on the impact of guideline implementation. We illustrate th

Misuse of drugs can occur for a variety of reasons at different levels, including recommended mistakes and over-the- counter medications.

Pharmacovigilance, which is the science and activities relating to the detection, assessment, understanding and prevention of adverse effects or any other possible drug-related problems, generates knowledge to facilitate the rational use of medicines. When a medicine is first marketed, there is limited information on adverse drug reactions (ADRs), especially in paediatrics, where medicines are less likely to have been extensively studied. Knowledge in drug safety is built up over time when more (in number, and more heterogeneous) patients are treated than were studied in the randomised control
