O presente trabalho estĆ” dividido em dois capĆtulos: CapĆtulo I ā RelatĆ³rio de EstĆ”gio em FarmĆ”cia ComunitĆ”ria e CapĆtulo II ā CaraterizaĆ§Ć£o do perfil de consumo de benzodiazepinas na Cova da Beira.
O RelatĆ³rio de EstĆ”gio em FarmĆ”cia ComunitĆ”ria estĆ” subdividido em vĆ”rias Ć”reas respeitantes aos medicamentos e sua dispensa, ao aconselhamento farmacĆŖutico, Ć manipulaĆ§Ć£o de medicamentos, determinaĆ§Ć£o de parĆ¢metros bioquĆmicos e fisiolĆ³gicos e Ć contabilidade e gestĆ£o. O estĆ”gio em farmĆ”cia comunitĆ”ria permitiu-me conhecer mais e melhor as verdadeiras funƧƵes e competĆŖncias de um farmacĆŖutico. Mostrou-me que o farmacĆŖutico, enquanto profissional de saĆŗde tem um papel determinante no aconselhamento do utente, tendo o poder de modificar hĆ”bitos, transmitir conhecimentos, dar seguranƧa na utilizaĆ§Ć£o dos medicamentos e de outros produtos de saĆŗde e indicar, em cada situaĆ§Ć£o, qual o melhor tratamento.
O projeto de investigaĆ§Ć£o consistiu na caraterizaĆ§Ć£o do perfil de consumo de benzodiazepinas na Cova da Beira. Esta Ć© uma regiĆ£o do interior marcadamente desfavorecida que propicia o consumo deste tipo de fĆ”rmacos. Assim, registou-se um elevado consumo de fĆ”rmacos com indicaƧƵes para a ansiedade, perturbaƧƵes do sono e depressĆ£o. As mulheres sĆ£o o gĆ©nero que mais consome estes medicamentos (58,9%). SĆ£o as faixas etĆ”rias mais jovens as que mais consomem medicaĆ§Ć£o para a ansiedade enquanto as mais velhas consomem medicaĆ§Ć£o para perturbaƧƵes do sono.
De entre as benzodiazepinas, as mais consumidas apresentam aĆ§Ć£o ansiolĆtica (93%) e, dentro destas, as com aĆ§Ć£o intermĆ©dia sĆ£o as mais utilizadas (62,5%). O alprazolam Ć© a benzodiazepina com duraĆ§Ć£o de aĆ§Ć£o intermĆ©dia mais utilizada (68%) sendo o diazepam a mais consumida (36,7%) dentro das com duraĆ§Ć£o de aĆ§Ć£o prolongada. No que respeita Ć s com aĆ§Ć£o hipnĆ³tica, o brotizolam Ć© o mais consumido.
A grande maioria dos inquiridos tem acesso a este tipo de medicaĆ§Ć£o atravĆ©s da prescriĆ§Ć£o mĆ©dica (81,8%).
Perante estes resultados constata-se que existe uma percentagem significativa da populaĆ§Ć£o da Cova da Beira que consome estes fĆ”rmacos e que Ć© necessĆ”rio um maior controlo sobre a utilizaĆ§Ć£o dos mesmos.
The present work is divided in two chapters: Chapter I ā Report from the stage in community pharmacy and Chapter II ā Characterization of the consumption profile of benzodiazepines in the Cova da Beira region. The report from the stage on the community pharmacy is subdivided in several areas, concerning the drug and its dispensation, pharmacistās counseling, handling of the drugs, biochemistry and physiological parameters, and pharmacy management. The stage on the community pharmacy allowed me to learn about the real functions and skills of the pharmacist. It showed me that the pharmacist, as an health professional, has a key role in counseling the patients, having the power to change habits, transmit knowledge, give security on drug and other health-related products use, and inform, which is the best treatment for each particular situation. The research project consisted in the characterization of the consumption profile of benzodiazepines in the Cova da Beira region. This is a countryside area markedly underprivileged which promotes the consumption of these kinds of drugs. Thus, we observed high consumption of drugs indicated for anxiety, sleep disturbances and depression. Women are the ones who consume more of those drugs (58,9%). Furthermore, young people consume more anxiety drugs, while the older people consume medication for sleep disturbances. Among benzodiazepines, the most consumed present an anxiolytic action (93%) and from these, those with an intermediate half-life are the most used (62,5%). Alprazolam is the most used intermediate half-life benzodiazepine (68%), being diazepam the most consumed (36,7%) amongst those presenting long half-life. In what concerns the benzodiazepines with hypnotic action, brotizolam is the most consumed compound. The majority of the inquired have access to this type of drug through physician prescription (81,8%). Considering these results, we realized that a significant percentage of population from Cova da Beira consumes these drugs, and a bigger control on their usage seemed necessary.
