Abstract(s)
O presente relatório encontra-se dividido em dois capítulos distintos. O primeiro refere-se à componente de investigação e o segundo à componente de estágio em Farmácia Comunitária.
O capítulo 1 descreve o projeto desenvolvido no Centro de Investigação em Ciências da Saúde da Universidade da Beira Interior (CICS-UBI) e intitulado: “Estudos de estabilidade de lápis medicamentosos contendo óleos essenciais”.
Depois de ter sido desenvolvido neste centro de investigação um lápis medicamentoso com óleo essencial de Helichrysum italicum com boas características para aplicação vulvar e que surge como uma abordagem inovadora e promissora no tratamento do líquen escleroso é crucial definir os parâmetros de formulação que devem ser mantidos ao longo do tempo e testá-los laboratorialmente para assegurar a sua estabilidade. Foram avaliados parâmetros físicos através da análise texturométrica, parâmetros químicos através do teste de oxidação acelerada e parâmetros microbiológicos através do ensaio de eficácia dos conservantes, também conhecido por teste desafio ou challenge test.
O capítulo 2 é quase como um diário de bordo, onde é apresentada a Farmácia Saúde (espaço físico e equipa), são descritos os conhecimentos adquiridos e relatadas todas as atividades desenvolvidas durante as 800 horas de estágio.
Embora diferentes, as duas experiências profissionalizantes foram muito gratificantes. Tentei experienciar da melhor forma estas duas oportunidades únicas. Por um lado, levo a disciplina e o rigor necessário quando se trabalha dentro de um laboratório a fazer investigação, por outro, levo o espírito de equipa e a destreza necessária no dia-a-dia de uma Farmácia Comunitária que direciona o seu trabalho para o utente e para o seu acompanhamento farmacoterapêutico.
This report is divided in two different chapters. The first refers to the laboratorial research project and the second refers to the internship on community pharmacy. Chapter 1 is intended to describe the project developed at the Health Sciences Research Center, Faculty of Health Sciences, University of Beira Interior (CICS-UBI) and entitled: "Stability studies of medication sticks containing essential oils." After having been developed in this research center a medication stick containing Helichrysum italicum essential oil with good features for vulvar application and that emerges as an innovative and promising approach in the treatment of lichen sclerosus it becomes crucial to define and assess the formulation parameters that must be maintained over time to ensure their stability. Physical parameters were evaluated by texture analysis, chemical parameters by testing accelerated oxidation and microbiological parameters by challenge test. Chapter 2 is almost like a logbook, where “Farmácia Saúde” (physical space and staff) is presented. It also contains the description of knowledge acquired and the report of all the activities performed over 800 hours of internship. Although they were different, the two professional experiences were very rewarding. I tried to experience the best of these two unique opportunities. On the one hand, I learned the discipline and rigor necessary when working in a research laboratory, on the other hand I experienced the team spirit required in the day-to-day of a community pharmacy that directs their work to the patient and to their pharmacotherapeutic follow-up.
