description | The expansionist trajectory followed by the Medicament since the last century is increasingly present in developed societies, and its impact on individuals, populations and economies is perfectly unimaginable, many studies have been developed to clarify this phenomenology .
The perception of the problematic of medicines also involves the understanding of symbolisms and metaphors observed, described and interpreted in several works, being, however, a phenomenon not fully understood, which is well understood, given its nature complex and multifactorial.
The metaphor is present not only in Philosophy and Linguistics but also in the behaviors of the daily life of the people, of the communities, as well as in the language, in the structure of our precepts and conceptual systems.
Some metaphors were selected about medications and questioned the agreement or disagreement of university health students about these contents, with the aim of a better knowledge of their beliefs and attitudes about medications as well as social reality.
We conclude that, on the one hand, the concepts that the Greeks associated with the Pharmaton have correspondence in today's world, that is, medicine contains in itself the capacity to do good and evil, perhaps according to the most prevalent concepts and rationales At the same time, on the other, quaternary and even quinquennial prevention are adequate for the better control of this problem in our societies. |
