- Title
The Social and Economic Influences on Medication Use and Misuse.
- Authors
Aronowitz, Robert
- Abstract
The article discusses reports which reveal that serious adverse effects of medications arise from the social and economic conditions in which they are marketed, prescribed and used. It has been informed that the history of three serious adverse drug reactions (ADR) have been reviewed by researcher C.L. Bennett and colleagues. It has been suggested to improve labeling and encourage patient literacy, but underlying structural conditions from which these errors arise also need to be addressed.
