Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- BackgroundSubstandard and falsified medical products are a public health threat, primarily associated with low- and middle-income countries. Today, the phenomenon also exists in high-income countries. Increased Internet access has opened a global market. Self-diagnosis and self-prescription have boosted the market for unregulated websites with access to falsified medicines.AimTo describe the state of knowledge and experience on SF medical products among emergency physicians (EPs) and general practitioners (GPs) in Sweden.MethodsAn online survey with anonymous answers from 100 EPs and 100 GPs. Physicians were recruited from TNS SIFO’s medical database. The term in the survey was ‘illegal and falsified medicines’ which was common in Sweden at that time. It corresponds well with the term ‘substandard and falsified medical products’ that the WHO launched shortly after our data collection. We report our results with this term.ResultsIn Sweden, 78.5% of the physicians had heard the term ‘illegal and falsified medicines’ and 36.5% had met patients they suspected had taken it. Physicians lacked awareness of the use of the reporting system and wanted more knowledge about how to deal with patients who have possibly used falsified medicines.ConclusionsTo meet the public health threat of SF medical products, physicians need more knowledge.

Falsified Medicines : Literature review
- 2016
-
Ingår i: Working Papers in Medical Humanities. ; 2
-
Forskningsöversikt (refereegranskat)abstract
- In order to understand the global phenomenon of falsified medicines, this literature review is conducted as a pilot study to identify knowledge gaps and deliver insights for further research. The emergence and prevalence of falsified medicines takeon different forms between developing and developed nations due to political, economic, social and culturalfactors, yet studies from social, historical,cultural and ethical perspectives are rare. Empirical studies on consumers’ healthcare seeking behaviours and coping strategiessuch as the purchase of medicines from unknown, informal or extralegal sources, as well as on if/how healthcare professionals follow up patients who experienceunusual lack of medical efficacy,are lacking. Inter-disciplinary research is urgently needed.

"I'm not a jukebox where you push a button and then I sing": Negotiating Medicine Access in Physician–Patient Encounters
- 2022
-
Ingår i: Ethnologia Europaea. - : Open Library of the Humanities. - 0425-4597 .- 1604-3030. ; 52:2
-
Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- This article aims to deepen understandings of physician–patient encounters by investigating views and perceptions held by Swedish physicians and care seekers on medicine access. Through a relational approach and a focus on materialities of medicines as fluid and contingent, we conceptualize medicine access as situated everyday practices and physician–patient encounters as embedded in sociomaterial configurations. Through a bricolage approach, we present both quantitative and qualitative data from physicians and care seekers. We argue that diverging views on medicine access held by both parties do not necessarily position medical professional knowledge as opposed to lay knowledge. They are reflective of a shifting healthcare landscape and evolving expectations on provision and experiences of care services.

Where and how do you buy medicines? A social and cultural study of attitudes towards buying medicines online and abroad among Swedish public
- 2018
-
Konferensbidrag (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- We start our presentation with a brief overview of the literature written about SF medical products in the social and cultural sciences. In September 2015, we broadly reviewed literature about the phenomenon of SF medical products, and identified research gaps regarding social, cultural and ethical aspects. Studies, presented below, are two pilot studies aimed to fill some of the gaps. In May 2018 we completed a new literature search focusing specifically on the social sciences and cultural sciences.In order to understand where and how the Swedish public access their medicines, especially prescribed medicines, an online survey was conducted. Among a collection of 155 answers, the data shows that, although a majority of the respondents feel hesitated and negative towards shopping prescribed medicines online, a tendency is demonstrated that people would seek out medical assistance from other sources in foreign countries if their need could not be satisfied by the current national healthcare service. This might expose these vulnerable patients to the danger of falsified medicines. Our findings point out the need to map out medical consumers’ shopping patterns and call for more qualitative studies to understand this mechanism and to provide the public with necessary information regarding shopping medicines in a safe environment. Thereafter a survey with 200 Swedish doctors was carried out. The main purpose was to gather information on how much knowledge and experiences these frontline medical professionals had regarding SF medical products. The results show that 1 in 4 respondents have not heard about this phenomenon and there is a lack of awareness among physicians on the use of the reporting system. Related education is needed and desired.

”Allt fler falska mediciner mot covid-19 i omlopp”
- 2021
-
Ingår i: Dagens nyheter (DN debatt). - 1101-2447.
-
Tidskriftsartikel (populärvet., debatt m.m.)abstract
- Debatten om covid-19 fokuserar främst på medicinska områden som smittspridning, antikroppar och vacciner. Men det finns andra aspekter som glöms bort.Våren 2020 rapporterade Interpol att stora mängder förfalskade covid-19- skyddsprodukter av olika slag var i omlopp. Nu ett år senare har den globala illegala spridningen ökat. Det gäller allt från undermåliga ansiktsmasker till sådant som utger sig för att vara godkända mediciner och vacciner.Många falska mediciner och skyddsprodukter kan ge allvarliga biverkningar. Andra produkter kan vara helt i avsaknad av aktiva ingredienser och det kan ligga nära till hands att avfärda dem som harmlösa. I själva verket invaggar de oss i en falsk trygghet vilket är allvarligt under den nu pågående pandemin. Vår forskargrupp har länge studerat förekomsten av förfalskade medicinska produkter och vi såg vikten av att samla in data om hur skydd mot covid-19 anskaffas, vem som har tillgång till produkterna och i vilken utsträckning människor riskerar att få förfalskade varor.

Fake drugs that could kill are on the rise in Western countries – here’s why
- 2019

Ingår i: The Conversation.

Tidskriftsartikel (populärvet., debatt m.m.)abstract
- Fake medicines – illegal and substandard pharmaceuticals – have until now largely been a problem in low and middle-income countries. Ranging from lifestyle products to lifesaving medicines, such products are now also on the rise in the Western world. The spread is concerning, as fake medicines can be completely ineffective or extremely toxic.
