Resumo
A intervenção do farmacêutico clínico na população pediátrica implica uma abordagem
terapêutica específica, consoante a idade e o fármaco considerado. A pesquisa da
dose e regime posológico; a escolha da forma farmacêutica adequada; as possíveis
técnicas de administração, bem como a farmacovigilância implícita, são alguns dos
cuidados a ter em conta, de modo a garantir a segurança e eficácia do tratamento.
Tendo em conta todos estes fatores, a União Europeia tem vindo a reconhecer este
grupo como vulnerável e distinto da população adulta. Ao longo do tempo tem-se
assistido à criação de normas legislativas, que vão ao encontro das necessidades da
população pediátrica; e incentivos à indústria, por forma a promover o aumento da
produção industrial dos medicamentos.
Assim compreende-se a importância do farmacêutico, como profissional de saúde
adequado na avaliação de todos os fatores inerentes à classe pediátrica, tendo um
papel vital na terapêutica da mesma.
Este trabalho tem como objetivo abordar de uma forma geral o papel do farmacêutico
clínico na terapêutica pediátrica. Neste âmbito, são tidos em conta os critérios de
administração de medicamentos em crianças, nomeadamente a imaturidade física e
psíquica e, as características anatomofisiológicas e metabólicas, não esquecendo, que
do ponto de vista farmacológico, a criança apresenta mecanismos farmacocinéticos e
farmacodinâmicos próprios.
The clinical pharmacist intervention over the pediatric population, implies a specific approach, considering the age and the specific drug. To ensure the safety and efficacy of treatment, it is necessary the pharmacis study the adequated dose , dosing regime and dosage form know the several management techniques, and do the implied pharmacovigilance. Considering all these factors, the European Union has been recognising the group as vulnerable and distinct from the adult population. Over time, there has been witnessed the creation of legislative norms, which meet the needs of the pediatric population; and incentives to the industry, to promote an increase in pediatric medicines industrial production . Therefore, this highlights the importance of the clinical pharmacist, as the appropriate health professional for the evaluation of all factors involving the pediatric population. The pharmacist have a vital role in the pediatric therapeutics. This work aims to generally address the role of the clinic al pharmacist in the pediatric therapeutics. In this context, are addressed the drugs administering criteria for children, such as the physical and mental immaturity, the anatomophysiologica l and metabolic characteristics. As well the fact of the children present their own pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic mechanism.
