Abstract(s)
A polimedicação traz consigo o potencial de aumento de reações adversas e potenciação destas reações. A desprescrição reduz estas reações adversas, das quais podem advir a hospitalização do doente e até a morte.
O farmacêutico tem um papel fundamental no processo de desprescrição de medicamentos pois, sendo o técnico do medicamento por excelência e acompanhando os seus doentes em proximidade, encontra-se envolvido no processo terapêutico, podendo contribuir para o bom uso dos medicamentos e para uma correta desprescrição daqueles que já não trazem benefício para o doente ou são prejudiciais. Este papel é ainda mais importante em populações vulneráveis, como os idosos, que fazem uso de medicação crónica.
Nesta dissertação será realizada uma revisão narrativa dos artigos mais recentes, que abordam o problema da polimedicação e desprescrição, e será discutida a importância da intervenção do farmacêutico na desprescrição de medicamentos desnecessários ou prejudiciais. O farmacêutico desempenha um papel fundamental na desprescrição, através da revisão do regime terapêutico do paciente, da identificação de medicamentos inapropriados e do acompanhamento do processo de retirada dos medicamentos. A intervenção do farmacêutico pode melhorar a qualidade de vida do paciente, reduzir os custos de saúde e promover um uso mais racional e seguro dos medicamentos.
Polypharmacy carries the potential for increased adverse reactions and exacerbation of these reactions. Deprescribing reduces these adverse reactions, which can lead to patient hospitalization or even death. The pharmacist plays a crucial role in the process of medication deprescribing, as the medication expert and close monitor of patients, being involved in the therapeutic process and contributing to the appropriate use of medications and the proper deprescribing of those that no longer benefit the patient or are harmful. This role is even more important in vulnerable populations such as the elderly, who often receive chronic medication. In this dissertation, a narrative review of the most recent articles will be carried out, which address the problem of polypharmacy and [deprescription], and the importance of the pharmacist's intervention in the deprescription of unnecessary or harmful medications will be discussed. The pharmacist plays a key role in deprescribing by reviewing the patient's therapeutic regimen, identifying inappropriate medications, and monitoring the medication withdrawal process. The pharmacist's intervention can improve the patient's quality of life, reduce health costs and promote a more rational and safe use of medications.
