Book Introduction
Medicine that works, medicine that makes money, medicine that causes illness
Smart Medicine Stories from the Pharmaceutical Society for a Healthy Society
Every day is so tiring.
I'm holding on thanks to the fatigue recovery pills and energy drinks.
As I get older, I start to feel pain all over my body.
You can't rest because you're sick.
I take care of my health by going to the hospital sometimes and taking medicine that is good for my body.
They say that new medicines are more effective than they are expensive.
If you quickly give your child some medicine that works well for a cold, the cough will stop and the runny nose will lessen.
We take medicine today to work, to cure illness, to study, to grow taller, and to be healthy.
"Read 30 Minutes After Meal - The Story of Medicine That Even Pharmacists Don't Know" is a "real story about medicine" that revolves around medicine, money, and illness in our Korean society.
Founded in 1990, the Pharmaceutical Society for a Healthy Society has been working to improve drug safety and accessibility. It tells a variety of stories about medicine, from those who absolutely need it to those who take it when they don't, pharmaceutical companies that only sell profitable drugs, and patients who can't get the drugs they need.
Over the past decade, Korean society has undergone significant changes, experiencing numerous social disasters including COVID-19, the Sewol Ferry Disaster, and the Itaewon Massacre.
The same was true for the healthcare environment, with the introduction and implementation of systems for reporting adverse drug reactions, relief for adverse drug reaction damage from pharmaceutical products, and patient safety management reporting.
Published in 2013, "Read 30 Minutes After Meal" sparked a huge social uproar, including a lawsuit against a major pharmaceutical company, a campaign to remove choline alfoscerate, and a prediction of the "narcotic drink" incident that occurred in the heart of Gangnam.
It was difficult for a book published 10 years ago to keep up with today's Korean society, and the Pharmaceutical Society for a Healthy Society decided to publish a revised edition.
The newly assembled authors have updated the content with the latest data and given it a new look, taking into account the changing reality.
This book is a new story about smart medicine told by the Pharmaceutical Society for a Healthy Society.

Into the book
Vulnerable people who live hand to mouth are not only unable to receive proper treatment, but their survival is also threatened by even musculoskeletal diseases, not serious illnesses like cancer.
Among the patients with musculoskeletal diseases frequently encountered at pharmacies, there are many patients with occupational diseases.
Most patients who are injured in sports or accidents are able to receive good treatment and rest.
However, diseases caused by one's job are difficult to treat.
To avoid getting sick, you have to quit work or take a break, but that's not possible for someone who has a family to support.
It's not easy to change jobs.
If you endure with painkillers, you are likely to suffer doubly as a result of the side effects of developing a stomach ulcer.
If an accident does not occur, it is not easy to have it recognized as an industrial accident.
--- p.76
When developing a drug, it is difficult to conduct clinical trials on children.
Therefore, based on the results of clinical trials for adults, the dosage is reduced and used for children, taking into account physical conditions such as weight and height and age.
The problem is that children are not miniature adults.
Children must be used with much greater caution than adults because their organs for absorbing, breaking down, and excreting medicines are not yet mature.
There is one thing parents should be careful about.
This is a multiple drug prescription.
Prescribing multiple medications at once is called polypharmacy, and Korea has a much higher rate of this than other countries.
For example, cold medicine is prescribed in powder and syrup form, mixing antibiotics, nasal drops, cough syrup, and antipyretics.
While the rising cost of medication due to multiple drug prescriptions is a problem, the interactions between drugs are a greater concern.
--- p.109~110
The main reason clinical trials are increasing in poor countries is because regulations are lax and research costs are low.
In this process, multinational pharmaceutical companies have caused problems by taking advantage of lax regulations to conduct unethical clinical trials.
In 2003, a multinational pharmaceutical company in India conducted a clinical trial of a breast cancer drug called Letrozole on over 400 women, falsely claiming it would improve fertility.
The drug was an anticancer drug that was fatal to the fetus and was not yet approved for medical use.
Neither the doctors who conducted the unethical clinical trials nor the pharmaceutical companies were punished.
This was because India had no laws protecting the rights of clinical trial volunteers.
--- p.161
Like buses, subways, trains, electricity, water, and gas, medicines also have a strong public good character.
So, the argument arose to introduce the concept of public goods to pharmaceuticals.
This means that public pharmaceutical companies are needed.
When the new flu pandemic broke out, the only medicine available, Tamiflu, and the preventive vaccine were monopolized by a single multinational pharmaceutical company, which made supply difficult.
And when the Fukushima nuclear power plant exploded and released radiation, a shortage of iodine occurred.
This was because there was no pharmaceutical company that would produce iodine preparations that might be used at any time.
These were issues that could be resolved quickly through public health measures.
Public pharmaceutical companies are also needed when negotiating drug prices.
Some multinational pharmaceutical companies often refuse to supply drugs because they are not satisfied with the supply price.
--- p.179
Drug information sheets are often long and full of technical terms, as they contain information that is both relevant to consumers and professionals.
So it is easy for users to miss out on things they really need to know.
Even doctors and pharmacists have a hard time understanding drug information sheets.
Many countries are trying to make the labeling on pharmaceutical packaging and instructions for use easier to understand.
In particular, we are introducing various systems to ensure that experts and patients can immediately recognize safety-related information.
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration requires that medicines that have a risk of serious adverse reactions, particularly those that could result in death or serious injury, have a black box warning added to the instructions for use or packaging.

Publisher's Review
Pharmacists, doctors, and patients all don't know about medicine!
A society that tells us to take medicine even if we are old, fat, small, or tired.
A pharmaceutical company that sells medicine made by poor people and taken by the rich.
The government claims that neoliberal medical privatization is a source of national competitiveness.
For a society where everyone can use medicine without discrimination,
Real stories about medicine from the Pharmaceutical Society for a Healthy Society
A 10-Won Drug That's More Effective Than a 639-Won One - Why We Need a State-Owned Pharmaceutical Company, Not a Second Gleevec
Part 1, 'Life and Medicine', talks about a society that makes people seek medicine not only when they are sick, but also when they are old, fat, small, or tired.
It points out the reality that the anti-aging industry, which treats natural aging as a disease, is linked to discrimination against the elderly and women, and also criticizes the reality of men who seek the answers they need to adapt to a changing society in erectile dysfunction treatments.
He also criticizes the problems of obesity treatment drugs that have serious side effects and the contradictions surrounding people who try to grow taller and lose weight with drugs, and argues that birth control pills should be considered from the perspective of strengthening women's self-determination and access to medicines.
We also examine the reality of workers who lose their health and jobs due to illness at work and workers who suffer because industrial accidents are not recognized.
Part 2, "Medicine, Whether You Take It or Not, It's a Disease" criticizes the misguided desire behind the disguise of medication for attention deficit hyperactivity disorder as a drug that helps students study better, and raises awareness about the issue of drug safety.
Under the premise that "all drugs are poison," it points out the problem of "longevity" drugs whose licenses were revoked due to side effects, and the problem of health functional foods and health products that "deceive" people by appearing like drugs.
However, it addresses the distrust of patients with chronic diseases who must live with frailty throughout their lives, introduces methods for safely administering medication to children, and explains why medication should not be avoided outright but used appropriately.
It also emphasizes that the common cold is a social disease and that it is not the individual's body and mind that needs to be cured, but society.
Part 3, "The Inconvenient Truth about the Pharmaceutical Industry," criticizes pharmaceutical companies for ignoring 99 percent of our society and proposes the establishment of a state-owned pharmaceutical company as an alternative.
As seen in the case of the leukemia treatment drug Gleevec, pharmaceutical companies abuse their tyranny by monopolizing the supply of new life-saving drugs using their patents, conducting clinical trials in poor countries and then selling them in rich countries, and are obsessed with selling expensive drugs that are just okay rather than effective 10-cent drugs.
The government, which must stand up to such pharmaceutical companies, touts the privatization of healthcare as a means of national competitiveness.
Therefore, they argue that access to medicines must be strengthened to ensure that everyone can use medicines without discrimination, and that this requires the establishment of a state-owned pharmaceutical company.
Part 4, “How to Become a Smart Drug Consumer,” explains in detail how to take medication safely, how to properly dispose of medication, and how to protect your health.
We will introduce in detail the real way to take medicine, how to safely use medicine sold at convenience stores, the correct way for elderly patients to use medicine, and 10 ways to take medicine safely, through the misunderstandings and truths surrounding '3 times a day, 30 minutes after meals'.
It diagnoses the reality of pharmaceutical waste collection and suggests alternatives, while informing people that medicines can pollute the environment.
They also suggest that easy-to-understand instructions for use of medications should be created first to ensure safe use of medications, and emphasize that active reporting of adverse drug reactions is crucial for protecting health.
Health, Society, and Medicine - How to Stay Healthy in a Society That Recommends Drugs
There are quite a few books that address the problems of multinational pharmaceutical companies or teach us how to take medicine, but few that explain why we take medicine, what it means to take medicine well, how pharmaceutical company secrets and government medical policies affect us, why the obvious idea that everyone who is sick should have access to medicine is so difficult to realize, and how medicine and society influence each other.
Korea has the highest number of industrial accident deaths among member countries of the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development, the highest suicide rate, and the longest annual working hours.
We seek medicine to get through each day and to keep ourselves and our families healthy.
We trust doctors and pharmacists and take medicine, but we do not know how the medicine works in our bodies or what effect it has on our society.
Therefore, “Read 30 Minutes After Meal” is a necessary book not only for patients who need to take medication, but also for doctors who diagnose patients and prescribe medication, and pharmacists who prepare and recommend medication.
In "Read 30 Minutes After Meal," we'll discover what doctors, pharmacists, and patients should ask each other, what secrets lie behind the pharmaceutical advertisements we encounter every day, why the government's touted national competitiveness is a lie, and how to safely take essential medications for your health.
