10. Lošinjski dani bioetike - Hrvatsko filozofsko društvo

Integrative bioethics is also a very important contribution to the development
of global ethics. This dynamic bioethical vision shows the substantiality
of the universal dimension of bioethical/ethical knowledge and
praxis, with them uncovering their new universality as well as advancing
them. Integrative bioethics does not depersonalise, it is rather a creative
inclusion of all people in bioethical thinking and acting. Those numerous
authors and ethical works from different positions, but all with a unique
goal, are giving important impulse to internationalisation of bioethics as
its essence.

COMMUNICATION ABOUT DRUG SAFETY
Safety of medicines is an important ethical issue at all stages of drug
development, from the discovery to the end of its application. The issue of
drug safety plays the crucial role in communication between health workers
and patients. Adverse drug reactions become the subject of discussion
in public only when it comes to serious consequences (e.g., increased mortality
from cardiovascular diseases due to inadequate security assessment
of coxibs). On the other hand, the risk of adverse drug reactions may be
overestimated, which can have equally serious consequences for public
health (e.g., influenza vaccine). There are standards in the communication
of data on drug safety (an acronym ABOUT), but the data are often
contradictory, and the possibility of misuse is considerable. Also, we often
neglect the safety of herbal remedies and medicines obtained without a
prescription (OTC).
KOMUNIKACIJA O SIGURNOSTI LIJEKOVA
Sigurnost lijekova je važno etičko pitanje u svim fazama razvoja lijeka,
od otkrića do kraja njegove primjene. Pitanje sigurnosti lijekova ima dominantno
mjesto u komunikaciji između zdravstvenih radnika i pacijenata.
