#vigilance
- Abuse does not invalidate just use — A fundamental principle in bioethics, pharmacovigilance, and clinical toxicology stating that 'a conclusion from the abuse of a thing to its use is not valid'. In medicine, it means that the prohibition or condemnation of a useful drug or medical treatment (e.g., opioids for severe pain) is not justified simply because some patients or individuals abuse it.
- Antisoporific — Counteracting, preventing, or eliminating drowsiness, lethargy, and torpor; a pharmacological substance or natural stimulant compound that induces alertness, keeping the body awake by blocking receptors responsible for sleep induction. Broadly, it refers to any external stimulus or activity that boosts mental vigilance and eliminates chronic fatigue.
- Vigilance — Close attention, vigilance, caution, alertness, prudence, or circumspection in actions. It acts as the nominalized equivalent of the verbal idiom 'a băga de seamă', indicating an individual's cognitive capacity to notice minor details or avoid hazards.
