This paper is intended as an example of the anthropological perspective in ethnopharmacological studies. The contextual research is an important constituent of the anthropological approach. It reveals the meaning of drug use and cultural efficacy of medicines (as opposed to biomedical efficacy). The article outlines the context of medicines in a small Polish town Slesin in Wielkopolska (the Greater Poland region). It concerns mainly the use of drugs in the "domestic medicine" practised mostly by women within the family and the neighbourhood. Medical pluralism - the situation of coexistence of the orthodox medicine, elements of folk medicine and new, non-orthodox therapies (the last two may be together called "complementary medicine") - is an important component of the context of drug use in this setting, as it offers various possibilities to choose from. The other factors are also pointed out : people's etiological beliefs, convictions about the nature of particular illnesses and the efficacy of medicines, some religious beliefs, economic conditions, etc. (Résumé d'auteur)
