Popis: This essay offers the reader a series of reflections on medicines as technical objects, objects of use, and artefacts coping with the corporeality of the patient as a user. Since the intent here is not to propose or validate a theory, medications are mainly devoted descriptive attention, along with an effort to render practical scenes and problematize and advocate awareness for the relevance of user-centredness. Intended as a theoretical contribution that highlights some critical issues concerning user-related factors for the in-home medication management, its contents mainly review some consolidated literature from the anthropology of medications.
