Abstract:
This commentary invites readers to explore the possibilities that emerge when in-depth interpretive qualitative research is brought into closer dialogue with social pharmacy. Drawing on the analytical concepts of temporality, socio-materiality, and morality, the authors show how patient-centered perspectives can enrich and expand adherence research. Through a fictional patient case, they illustrate how everyday medication practices are shaped not only by clinical decisions but also by shifting routines, material arrangements, and the moral responsibilities people negotiate in daily life. The commentary also reflects on the challenges of interdisciplinary collaboration and proposes strategies for working productively across different epistemologies. Ultimately, the authors aim to spark dialogue and inspire future research and education that bridge social pharmacy with interpretive inquiry to support more nuanced, person-centered care policies and practices.

Methods for Studying Drug Absorption: In situ
The Doluisio method involves perfusing a prepared segment of a rat's small intestine with a solution of radiolabeled drug and a non-absorbable marker. This helps to differentiate between absorbed and non-absorbed drug concentrations. The intestinal segment is connected at both ends using tubing and syringes,...
