Abstract(s)
O presente relatório encontra-se dividido em dois capítulos: o Capítulo 1 versa sobre a
vertente de Investigação e o Capítulo 2 aborda a experiência profissionalizante em
Farmácia Comunitária.
Relativamente ao primeiro capítulo, este é composto por uma revisão da literatura
intitulada “Atividade anticancerígena do gengibre”. Esta revisão tem por base a análise
de artigos científicos relacionados com o gengibre e o cancro. Na parte introdutória do
capítulo é referida a importância das plantas medicinais, ao longo da história, na vida
do Homem, como meio de prevenção e/ou tratamento de doenças. De seguida, são
abordados os temas fitoterapia e plantas medicinais. Posteriormente, apresenta-se a
história, a caracterização botânica, a composição química e as propriedades
farmacológicas do gengibre (Zingiber officinale Roscoe), dando especial enfoque às
suas propriedades anticancerígenas. O interesse em aprofundar o estudo destas
propriedades prende-se com o facto do cancro ser uma das principais patologias do
século XXI. Também é descrito a posteriori a farmacocinética e os efeitos adversos do
gengibre.
Por outro lado, o segundo capítulo visa descrever as atividades desenvolvidas por mim,
enquanto estagiária, em Farmácia Comunitária. O estágio decorreu na Farmácia da
Estação, na cidade da Guarda, entre os dias 7 de fevereiro e 17 de junho de 2022. Esta
experiência permitiu-me adquirir competências práticas e consolidar conhecimentos
teóricos.
This report is divided into two chapters: Chapter 1 concerns the research project and Chapter 2 describes the professional experience in the area of Community Pharmacy. Regarding the first chapter, this consists of a literature review entitled "Anti-cancer activity of ginger". This review is based on the analysis of scientific articles related to ginger and cancer. In the introductory part of the chapter, the importance of medicinal plants throughout history in the scope of prevention and/or treatment of human diseases is approached. Then, the topics of phytotherapy and medicinal plants are addressed. Subsequently, the history, botanical characterisation, chemical composition and pharmacological properties of ginger (Zingiber officinale Roscoe) are presented, with a special focus on its anticancer properties. The interest in furthering the study of these properties relates to the fact that cancer is one of the major pathologies of the 21st century. The pharmacokinetics and adverse effects of ginger are also described in hindsight. On the other hand, the second chapter aims to describe the activities developed by myself, as an intern, in the area of Community Pharmacy. The internship took place at Farmácia da Estação, in the city of Guarda, between 7th February and 17th June 2022. This experience allowed me to acquire practical skills and consolidate theoretical knowledge.
