RESUMO Garrafadas, em geral, são combinações de plantas medicinais veiculadas em bebidas alcoólicas, utilizadas com diversas finalidades na medicina popular. O presente estudo apresentou um panorama das garrafadas, relacionando-as à regulamentação sanitária no Brasil. Para tal, foi realizada uma pesquisa descritiva exploratória das garrafadas divulgadas na internet, bem como das notificações de queixas técnicas e eventos adversos junto à Agência Nacional de Vigilância Sanitária (Anvisa). A pesquisa mostrou que as garrafadas são amplamente divulgadas na internet. Concluiu-se que as garrafadas são comercializadas em todo País, sem nenhuma barreira, sendo órfãs de regulamentação sanitária específica, mas legitimadas pela cultura popular.
Objetivo: Analisar a literatura científica referente ao papel do farmacêutico na pandemia de COVID-19, por meio de revisão integrativa da literatura. Fonte de dados: A busca dos artigos científicos foi realizada nas seguintes bases de dados: Biblioteca Virtual em Saúde (BVS), Literatura Latino-Americana e do Caribe em Ciências da Saúde (LILACS), Scientific Eletronic Library Online (SciELO) e PubMed no período de 2019 a 2020.Os critérios de inclusão estabelecidos foram publicações em inglês com o descritor “Coronavirus, COVID-19, Pharmacy, Community Pharmacy, Pharmacy Services, Pharmaceutical Care, Hospital Pharmacy” no título, resumo ou palavras-chave em artigos disponibilizados online e na íntegra. Excluíram-se cartas ao editor e artigos em duplicidade. Síntese dos dados: Foram identificados 10.906 artigos, dos quais 28 atenderam aos critérios de seleção. Os resultados foram demonstrados com ênfase nas funções adicionais desempenhadas pelos farmacêuticos tanto na farmácia comunitária quanto na farmácia hospitalar, determinadas pela situação de pandemia. No âmbito hospitalar foram verificadas o apoio à tomada de decisões clínicas sobre a farmacoterapia, gestão logística dos medicamentos, maior segurança na dispensação de medicamento e farmacovigilância. No ambiente da Farmácia comunitária o destaque foi no cuidado farmacêutico diretamente ao usuário por meio de orientação a respeito das medidas de higiene buscando minimizar ou evitar a disseminação do vírus e contaminação das pessoas. A manutenção da dispensação dos medicamentos para os usuários agudos e crônicos, por meio da garantia da oferta e disponibilidade de medicamentos com qualidade foi a principal atividade, assim como de testes rápidos para diagnósticos da COVID-19.
Objective: To analyze the profile of the compounded cardiovascular medicines prescribed in neonatology in Brazil. Data source: An integrative bibliographic review was carried out, including studies published in the last 20 years. The used descriptors were: Intensive Care Neonatal, Off-Label Use, Pharmaceutical Preparations, in the databases Virtual Health Library (VHL), PubMed, and Scientific Electronic Library Online (SciELO). Review articles and guidelines were excluded. The quality of the evidence was analyzed, and 10 articles were selected to integrate the study. Data synthesis: The profile of routine prescrption in the neonatal unit was evaluated. The main cardiovascular medications prescribed as compounding formulation were: Spironolactone, Captopril, Furosemide, Hydrochlorothiazide, Propranolol, Amiodarone, Nifedipine, Carvedilol, Digoxin, Enalapril, Epinephrine, and Hydralazine. The drugs were obtained from adaptations of dosage forms, through the transformation of capsules or tablets into liquid formulations, as a solution, suspension, or syrup, as well as in the form of solutions prepared from active pharmaceutical ingredients. The compounding of medications made drug therapy possible in neonatology, considering that such medications do not have registration of the oral liquid dosage form in the country, despite being part of the List of Essential Medicines for Children of the Word Health Organization. Conclusions: It was possible to analyze the profile of compounded cardiovascular medicines prescribed in neonatology in Brazil. The results showed the need for the development of medications suitable for the neonatal population, and the standardization of operational procedures for preparing extemporaneous formulations in neonatology to increase drug safety.
This article is a report from an experience about a work developed by Farmácia Universitária at UFRJ (FU-UFRJ) during the nCov-19 pandemic period. The aim of this work was to describe its contribution in the production of antiseptic supplies used to prevent contagion by the new coronavirus. The work routine at the pharmacy has been changed to allow the implementation of local workflow during the pandemic, and to adapt the protection rules to meet the safety measures. FU-UFRJ started to manipulate two antiseptic formulations: 70% ethyl alcohol and gel alcohol, which are included in the National Form, manufacturing around 100 L of these formulations, weekly, to donate to different health units. The experience enabled the adaptation to emergency health standards, planning and meaningful guidance to pharmacists and technicians to attend clinics at university hospitals, vaccination center and UFRJ city hall, in order to facilitate the access to adequate hand hygiene to the population.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
