Abstract
En las últimas décadas, el descubrimiento de las propiedades antinflamatorias, antiangiogénicas
e inmunorreguladoras de la talidomida, ha propiciado su utilización como terapia alternativa
o de segunda elección para diversas patologías. El medicamento forma parte de la Lista Oficial
de Medicamentos y Normativa de la Caja Costarricense de Seguro Social. El resurgimiento del
medicamento y sus análogos, los cambios en el comportamiento reproductivo de la población,
avances en las técnicas de reproducción asistida, investigación biomédica y la judicialización de la
medicina, hacen necesaria una revisión de sus indicaciones actuales, y medidas de seguridad para
prevenir el efecto adverso más grave: la teratogénesis. El objetivo de esta investigación fue presentar
los resultados de una revisión bibliográfica relacionada con los usos actuales, así como el contexto
regulatorio y ético de la talidomida en Costa Rica.
In recent decades, thalidomide ́s anti-inflammatory, anti-angiogenic and immunoregulatory properties have led as an alternative or second-choice therapy for various pathologies. It is currently included in the Official List of Medicines and Regulations of the Costa Rican Social Security (LOM). However, thalidomide ́s resurgence and its analogues, reproductive behavior changes, assisted reproduction technology, biomedical research and medical judicialization, indicates that a review of the current indications and safety measures are necessary to prevent the most serious adverse effect: teratogenesis. In this research, we aim to summarize thalidomide ́s current uses, regulatory and ethical context in Costa Rica.
