Pharmacovigilance is a scientific discipline that has changed a lot in recent years and is of great social importance. The case of the so-called sulfonamide elixir showed society the importance of this discipline. Since then, pharmacovigilance has evolved into a scientific discipline with a strong social character. In this paper, a historical review is made of several paradigmatic examples of this discipline to reflect on what pharmacovigilance could be like finally. We conclude that this discipline could be more closely related to other areas of the social sciences, which would help to promote a more democratic social environment taking into account the needs of individuals and social groups.
药物警戒是一门近年来发生了很大变化且具有重大社会意义的科学学科。所谓的磺胺酏剂事件向社会展示了这门学科的重要性。从那时起,药物警戒已发展成为一门具有强烈社会特征的科学学科。在本文中,对该学科的几个典型例子进行了历史回顾,以思考药物警戒最终可能会是什么样。我们得出结论,这门学科可能与社会科学的其他领域联系更紧密,这将有助于考虑个人和社会群体的需求,促进更民主的社会环境。
