In the past two decades public debate about the risks, benefits,
and safety associated with drugs has intensified. Public disputes
over risks are brought to court when individuals seek compensation
for health problems attributed to a pharmaceutical product. The
issue reaches legislatures and regulatory agencies when consumer
advocates seek to influence the standards of drug usage. Front-page
news tends to focus on accidents or other risk events with drugs.
Drug risk and drug safety have become an important political issue.
Drug regulat ory agencies have been instituted, and their
responsibility has increased. The approval to market a drug is
dependent on a set of sophisticated studies executed according to
strict protocols and scientifically defined criteria. Drug
surveillance activities have gained recognition, and reporting
systems to identify drug safety problems have been strengthened.
The understanding and management of drug safety is, nonetheless,
beset by doubts, disagreements, and disputes. Conflict occurs over
the significance of risk, the adequacy of evidence, the
methodologies used to evaluate and measure risk, the standards that
guide regulation, and the optimal means of communicating risk
information to the public.
