O presente documento foi elaborado no âmbito da unidade curricular Estágio do Mestrado Integrado em Ciências Farmacêuticas e encontra-se dividido em dois capítulos. O primeiro aborda a experiência profissionalizante na vertente de Farmácia Comunitária e o segundo descreve o projeto de investigação e os resultados obtidos envolvendo um tema relacionado com as Ciências Farmacêuticas.
O estágio em Farmácia Comunitária decorreu entre o dia 26 de janeiro e o dia 13 de junho de 2015 na Farmácia Albino Pais, em Nelas. Este capítulo descreve as atividades desenvolvidas na farmácia, o seu funcionamento, as tarefas de cada elemento e é destacada a importância do farmacêutico enquanto promotor do uso racional do medicamento e profissional de saúde. O estágio revelou-se uma experiência bastante enriquecedora e constituiu uma boa preparação para desafios futuros.
O segundo capítulo enquadra-se no projeto de investigação que aborda a temática dos agentes anti-enxaqueca. Os principais objetivos deste trabalho foram a avaliação do nível de conhecimento da população da Região Centro de Portugal sobre a definição de enxaqueca, o cálculo da prevalência das mesmas e o estudo do perfil de utilização destes medicamentos, assim como potenciais efeitos adversos e reações medicamentosas. Este estudo baseou-se na informação obtida através de inquéritos individuais e recorreu-se a um tratamento estatístico dos dados. Dos 519 utentes estudados, a maioria revelou saber diferenciar uma enxaqueca de uma cefaleia comum. Os utentes que referem ter enxaqueca foram, maioritariamente, mulheres e a origem da dor mais apontada foi o stress. Os fármacos mais utilizados nas crises de enxaqueca foram os anti-inflamatórios não esteróides e os fármacos mais utilizados concomitantemente foram os antihipertensores. Os efeitos adversos mais referidos foram arritmias e palpitações.
Assim, verificou-se que as mulheres estão mais suscetíveis a sofrer enxaquecas e, geralmente, no seu tratamento são utilizados fármacos anti-inflamatórios e triptanos. Estes agentes não são desprovidos de efeitos adversos e há que ter em conta possíveis interações com outros fármacos. O acompanhamento dos utentes e a correta utilização dos agentes anti-enxaqueca são essenciais no sucesso terapêutico.
This document was prepared as part of the traineeship componente of the Pharmaceutical Sciences integrated master’s degree program and is divided into two chapters. The professional experience in the area of Community Pharmacy is described in the first chapter and in the second chapter, the research project is developed, addressing a topic related to the Pharmaceutical Sciences. The Community Pharmacy internship was held between January 26 and June 13, 2015 at “Farmácia Albino Pais”, in Nelas. This chapter describes the activities undertaken in the farmacy, its functioning, the tasks of each element and it is emphasized the importance of the pharmacist as a promoter of the rational use of medicines and a health professional. The internship proved to be a very enriching experience and was a good preparation for future challenges. The second chapter describes the research component developed that addresses the theme of anti-migraine agents. The principal objectives of this study were the evaluation of the level of knowledge in center region of Portugal about the definition of migraine, the calculation of the prevalence and the study of the usage profile of these drugs, as well as their potencial adverse effects and drug interactions. This study was based on information obtained by applying a survey and it was performed a statistical data treatment. Of the 519 studied users, the majority was able to differentiate a migraine and a commom headache. The users who reported having migraine were, mostly, women and the main reported origin of the pain was stress. The non-esteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs were the most used and antihypertensives were the most concomitantly used medicines with antimigraine drugs. Arrhythmias and palpitations were the most referred side effects. From this study, it was concluded that women are more susceptible to suffer migraines and, generally, anti-inflammatory drugs and triptans are used in their treatment. These drugs are not devoid of side effects and possible interactions of them with other drugs must be taken into account. The management of the patients and the correct use of anti-migraine agents are essential for the therapeutic success.
