This article contrasts and discusses two views about pharmaceuticals. On the one hand there is a wide popularity of pharmaceuticals in both high income and poor societies. At the same time, however, a more sceptical and reluctant attitude towards pharmaceuticals occurs. The article reviews the reasons for the worldwide trust in drugs, and then suggests that some of the same factors may help to understand mistrust and reluctance to use them in other circumstances.
