Increasingly, pharmaceuticals are available as the solutions to a
wide range of human health problems and health risks, minor and
major. This book portrays how pharmaceutical use is, at once, a
solution to, and a difficulty for, everyday life. Exploring lived
experiences of people at different stages of the life course and
from different countries around the world, this collection
highlights the benefits as well as the challenges of using
medicines on an everyday basis. It raises questions about the
expectations associated with the use of medications, the
uncertainty about a condition or about the duration of a medicine
regimen for it, the need to negotiate the stigma associated with a
condition or a type of medicine, the need to access and pay for
medicines and the need to schedule medicine use appropriately, and
the need to manage medicines' effects and side effects. The
chapters include original empirical research, literature review and
theoretical analysis, and convey the sociological and
phenomenological complexity of 'living pharmaceutical lives'. This
book is of interest to all those studying and researching social
pharmacy and the sociology of health and illness.
