编辑:Eaton的研究(见BMJ2004;329:1124)认为我们需要更多的药物监督机制,以保护公众的健康1。所有的药物都是有风险的,其中有些可能有用。如果药物的疗效很容易显现出来,那么其安全性(低风险)必然无法证实:缺乏风险论证不代表没有风险。评价药物风险和受益是卫生政策和观念要解 Editor: Eaton’s research (see BMJ 2004; 329: 1124) argues that we need more drug monitoring mechanisms to protect public health. All medicines are at risk, some of which may be useful. If the drug’s efficacy is easy to visualize, its safety (low risk) must not prove: a lack of risk justification does not mean no risk. Assessing drug risks and benefits is a health policy and concept solution
