Pharmaceutical sciences and social dynamics: bridging medication practices, public health challenges, and everyday lives
Keywords:
Pharmaceutical sciences, social dynamics, medication practices, public health, health equity, medication adherence, health policy, digital health technologiesAbstract
Background: Pharmaceutical sciences play an integral role in advancing healthcare by developing innovative therapies and enhancing treatment efficacy. However, the interplay between medication practices and social dynamics highlights significant disparities in access, adherence, and health outcomes. Social determinants such as economic inequalities, cultural perceptions, and systemic barriers influence the equitable distribution and utilization of pharmaceutical advancements. Aim: This paper aims to examine the complex relationship between pharmaceutical practices and social needs, emphasizing the integration of innovative medication strategies with public health frameworks to bridge gaps in healthcare equity and accessibility. Methods: A comprehensive literature review was conducted, drawing from interdisciplinary sources, including public health reports, peer-reviewed journals, and case studies. The analysis focused on identifying patterns of inequities in medication practices and evaluating the efficacy of interventions that address both pharmaceutical and social dimensions. Results: Findings indicate persistent disparities in medication access and adherence, particularly in low- and middle-income countries and underserved populations within high-income nations. Successful interventions have incorporated community engagement, policy reforms, and digital health technologies to enhance accessibility and improve health outcomes. Furthermore, the integration of social sciences into pharmaceutical policies has facilitated a deeper understanding of how systemic inequities impact medication practices.
