Resumo

Objetivo: O objetivo da pesquisa é compreender a experiência de vulnerabilidade e empoderamento de consumidoras de pílulas contraceptivas

Método: Os dados foram coletados de entrevistas, textos de grupo do Whatsapp e Facebook, e analisados sob uma perspectiva interpretativista.

Originalidade/Relevância: A relação desequilibrada de mercado, cujas externalidades e internalidades afetam o comportamento no contexto de consumo de pílulas contraceptivas.

Resultados :Há evidências que asseguram às mulheres consumidoras uma condição de vulnerabilidade relativas à insuficiência de informações a respeito dos riscos, baixa regulação, efeitos e danos provocados pelos anticoncepcionais orais.

Contribuições teóricas/metodológicas: A investigação de dois fenômenos de consumo que se revelam complementares: a vulnerabilidade e o empoderamento, revelando-se duas faces de um processo que possui seus marcos temporais calcados em eventos que envolvem sentimentos, percepções e significados para as mulheres consumidoras.

Contribuições sociais / para a gestão: possibilita que a indústria farmacêutica, como produtora, amplie seu olhar sobre a relação de consumo que as mulheres possuem com o medicamento, suas consequências e significados, que vão além da contracepção
