A presente dissertação foi realizada no âmbito da unidade curricular “Estágio” inserida no
Mestrado Integrado em Ciências Farmacêuticas. Esta encontra-se dividida em dois
capítulos, sendo que o primeiro corresponde à vertente de investigação e o segundo capítulo
é referente ao estágio curricular em Farmácia Comunitária.
O primeiro capítulo, referente ao trabalho de investigação, corresponde a uma recolha da
informação relativa a produtos comercializados nas Farmácias Comunitárias Portuguesas
contendo Hamamelis virginiana, através das informações encontradas nos respetivos
rótulos e cedidas pelos fornecedores. A utilização de plantas para uso medicinal é conhecida
desde o início da história da humanidade. Atualmente, devido às crescentes tendências
vegans e intolerâncias aos efeitos adversos derivados dos medicamentos químicos, a
procura por produtos à base de plantas tem aumentado. Após recolha da informação
verificou-se que se encontram a ser comercializados, em farmácias comunitárias em
Portugal, 135 produtos contendo extratos de Hamamelis virginiana, sendo que a maioria
(n=114) são produtos cosméticos e destinam-se maioritariamente (n=116) à administração
cutânea. Dos restantes produtos 11 são MNSRM, 4 suplementos alimentares, 3 dispositivos
médicos e 3 produtos para uso veterinário. Para além da recolha destas informações, foi
realizada, igualmente, uma revisão bibliográfica das atividades reconhecidas de extratos de
H. virginiana, sendo que posteriormente foram comparadas com as alegações dos produtos
comercializados em análise e com a legislação da EMA. Constatou-se que as alegações
promotoras de saúde e bem-estar de 22 produtos não estão em conformidade com as
atividades reconhecidas desta planta. Desta forma, torna-se essencial a realização de
estudos científicos que suportem as alegações destes produtos. Para além disto, o presente
estudo pode servir de apoio para o desenvolvimento de novos produtos e para a criação de
uma base de dados de produtos contendo extratos de Hamamelis virginiana, disponível a
toda a população, uma vez que esta planta apresenta uma diversidade de atividades
benéficas para o organismo.
O segundo capítulo corresponde à descrição das atividades efetuadas durante o estágio
curricular em Farmácia Comunitária, realizado entre os meses de Fevereiro e Junho, sob a
orientação da Dra. Ana Marta Salvador, diretora-técnica da Farmácia da Misericórdia
situada na cidade de Trancoso, distrito da Guarda.
This dissertation was carried out in the scope of the curricular unit “Internship” inserted in the Integrated Master in Pharmaceutical Sciences. This is divided into two chapters, the first corresponding to the research aspect and the second chapter referring to the curricular internship in Community Pharmacy. The first chapter, referring to the research work, corresponds to a collection of information on products marketed in Portuguese Community Pharmacies containing Hamamelis virginiana, through the information found on the respective labels and provided by the suppliers. The use of plants for medicinal use has been known since the beginning of human history. Currently, due to growing vegan trends and intolerances to adverse effects derived from chemical medicines, the demand for herbal products has increased. After collecting the information, it was found that 135 products containing extracts of Hamamelis virginiana are being marketed in community pharmacies in Portugal, the majority (n=114) of which are cosmetic products and intended for the majority (n=116) to cutaneous administration. Of the remaining 11 products are MNSRM, 4 food supplements, 3 medical devices and 3 products for veterinary use. In addition to collecting this information, a bibliographic review of the recognized activities of H. virginiana extracts was also carried out, which were later compared with the claims of the commercialized products under analysis and with the EMA legislation. The health and wellness promoting claims of 22 products were found not to be in compliance with the recognized activities of this plant. Thus, it is essential to carry out scientific studies that support the claims of these products. In addition, this study can support the development of new products and the creation of a database of products containing extracts of Hamamelis virginiana, available to the entire population, since this plant has a variety of activities beneficial to the body. The second chapter corresponds to the description of the activities performed during the curricular internship in Community Pharmacy, held between February and June, under the guidance of Dr. Ana Marta Salvador, technical director of the Farmácia da Misericórdia located in the city of Trancoso, district of the Guard.
