Avaliação da ocorrência de interações medicamentosas em pacientes com problemas cardiovasculares
Resumo:
The high demand for medication among the population is widely recognized. Although they have healing potential, the lay use of these drugs can cause harm, such as side effects and drug interactions, also highlighting their potential risk. Given the above, the objective of this study is to analyze the frequency of drug interactions in prescriptions for patients with cardiovascular diseases. This study seeks to highlight the importance of the pharmacist's role in the multidisciplinary hospital team, as well as to analyze possible drug interventions in this group. This is a retrospective, documentary study with a quantitative approach, conducted through the analysis of 80 medical records of patients hospitalized with cardiovascular diseases between August 5 and 28, 2012, in a public hospital. The results showed a high frequency of drug interactions, especially in patients with multiple prescribed drugs. Medications commonly used in the SUS (Brazilian Unified Health System) were identified among those most involved in the interactions. These findings reinforce the relevance of the clinical pharmacist's role in preventing risks and optimizing therapy.
