PHARMACOLOGISTICS – A NEW PARADIGM IN CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY

Abstract

The penetration of business trends in the medical context is sometimes justifiably irritating and frustrating for clinicians. Nevertheless, economic realities demand that the current paradigm of clinical thinking should be supplemented with elements to ensure the rationality of treatment options for patients with various diseases. In these circumstances, the familiar "efficacy-safety" coordinate system is insufficient. The integration of the concept of pharmacologistical paradigm into our medical lexicon is an urgent necessity. We will try to show in a few sentences how reasonable this is, and how it is already present in today's circulation of medications.
