RESUMO

Introduction: There has been a considerable increase in the concurrent use of prescribed medicines and herbal products, but most users do not have any information about drug-herb interactions. Objective: Therefore, this study aimed to investigate the effects of pharmacological advice by community pharmacists on promoting the rational use of prescribed medicines together with herbal products. Methods: The study was one group pretest-posttest experimental design, performed on a sample of 32 people who met the following criteria: aged ≥18 years, lived in an urbanized area, have NCDs such as diabetes, hypertension, dyslipidemia, or cardiovascular disease, and have used prescribed medicines and herbal products concurrently. The participants were informed and practically advised on the rational use of herbal products simultaneously with prescribed medicines, the possibility of drug-herb interactions, and self-monitoring of possible adverse effects. Results: After implementing pharmacological advice, the participants showed a significant increase in knowledge of rational drug-herb use: from 5.8±1.8 to 8.4±1.6 out of a total of 10 (p<0.001), and their score in terms of appropriate behavior rose from 21.7±2.9 to 24.4±3.1 out of a total of 30 (p<0.001). Additionally, the number of patients with herb-drug interaction risk decreased statistically significantly (37.5% and 25.0%, p=0.031). Conclusion: Pharmacy-led advice on rational use of herbal products with prescribed NCD medicines is effective in terms of promoting increases in knowledge and appropriate behavior in these matters. This is a strategy for risk management of herb-drug interactions in NCD patients. (AU)

RESUMO

OBJETIVO: Evaluar el grado de conocimiento de losmédicos sobre el riesgo perioperatorio de pacientes queconsumen plantas medicinales. Revisar las interaccionesfarmacológicas de las plantas medicinales más relevantes,para justificar un plan de actuación preoperatorio.MATERIAL Y MÉTODO: Se realizó una encuesta sobre elconocimiento y actitud frente al paciente quirúrgico yconsumidor de plantas medicinales, a través de correoelectrónico, dirigida a cirujanos y anestesiólogos. Paralelamente,se procedió a la revisión bibliográfica de laspropiedades de las especies que pueden interactuar conel proceso anestésico-quirúrgico: Allium sativum, Efedrasinica, Echinacea purpurea, Ginkgo biloba, Panax ginseng,Hypericum perforatum, Piper methysticum, Glycirrhizaglabra y Valeriana officinalis, sus indicaciones e interaccionesfarmacológicas.RESULTADOS: La encuesta fue remitida a 131 facultativosy obtuvo una participación del 80,5%. La procedenciaformativa de los mismos fue de 22 centros nacionales y 3internacionales. El 55% de los encuestados cree en la eficaciade las plantas medicinales pero el 78% no preguntaa los pacientes sobre su consumo. Sólo el 3% de losencuestados conoce las interacciones de alguna de lasplantas evaluadas y únicamente el 7% indicaría la suspensiónde algunas de ellas previa a la cirugía.CONCLUSIÓN: El consumo de plantas medicinales esuna realidad en aumento en nuestra sociedad. Pese a lassugerencias auspiciadas por organismos científicos comola American Society of Anesthesiology sobre los plazos desuspensión temporal del consumo de plantas medicinalesprevio a intervención quirúrgica, nuestros resultados avalanel incumplimiento, así como un preocupante desconocimientosobre sus indicaciones e interacciones, por partede los facultativos médicos(AU)


OBJETIVES: To assess physicians' knowledge of perioperativerisk for patients who consume medicinalplants. To review interactions between drugs and themain medicinal plants with a view to justifying a planfor preoperative intervention.MATERIAL AND METHODS: Surgeons and anesthesiologistswere sent an e-mail survey with questions onknowledge of and attitudes toward surgical patients'consumption of medicinal plants. At the same time, weperformed a literature search on the species of plantsthat can interact with anesthetic and surgical processes.The species included were Allium sativum, Ephedra sinica,Echinacea purpurea, Ginkgo biloba, Panax ginseng,Hypericum perforatum, Piper methysticum, Glycyrrhizaglabra and Valeriana officinalis. The focus of the searchwas on indications for the use of these plants and theirinteractions with drugs.RESULTS: The questionnaire was sent to 131 physicians.The response rate was 80.5%. Twenty-two physicianshad trained in Spanish hospitals and 3 in hospitalsabroad. Medicinal plants were believed to be effective by55%, but 78% did not ask patients about their use. Only3% knew the interactions of some of the plants mentionedin the survey and only 7% knew that the use ofsome should be suspended before surgery.CONCLUSIONS: Medicinal plants are currently beingused in our culture. In spite of appropriate warningsfrom such scientific bodies as the American Society ofAnesthesiologists on timing the withdrawal of medicinalplants before surgery, our results indicate that the adviceis not followed. We also found that physicians lackedknowledge of the indications for using these plantsand their interactions, a situation which is alarming(AU)

RESUMO

Objetivo: En los últimos años hemos asistido a un aumento notable en el uso de la medicina alternativa por parte de la población actual. El objetivo de este trabajo es doble. Por un lado, se pretende analizar la incidencia del uso de plantas medicinales en pacientes infectados por el virus de la inmunodeficiencia humana (VIH) en tratamiento antirretroviral de gran actividad (TARGA). Por el otro, conocer la existencia de posibles interacciones con la ayuda de bases bibliográficas documentadas. Material y métodos: Estudio prospectivo ¿entrevista dirigida¿ (octubre-diciembre de 2007) realizado en pacientes infectados por el VIH y en TARGA que aceptaron realizar la encuesta. Resultados: De los 193 pacientes que accedieron a la entrevista, el 16,6 % de los pacientes afirmaron usar tratamientos de medicina alternativa. De ellos, en el 46 % de los casos había una interacción potencial con la eficacia del tratamiento antirretroviral. Éstas se dieron en un 46 % con el pomelo, en un 21 % en el caso del cardo y de la equinácea, respectivamente, y fue de un 4 % tanto para omega-3 y hierbas chinas, como para ginseng. Conclusión: Hay un consumo importante de productos naturales por parte de este grupo de pacientes, de los cuales un porcentaje significativo interaccionan con el TARGA. Se hace preciso tener un conocimiento mayor de las posibles interacciones en los pacientes con tratamiento antirretroviral y ofrecer más información a los pacientes infectados por el VIH (AU)


Objective: Over the last few years, there has been a notable increase in the use of alternative medicine by the general population. The aim of this study is two-fold. Firstly we will analyse the incidence of the use of medicinal plants in patients with HIV undergoing Highly Active Anti-Retroviral Therapy (HAART). Secondly, with the help of existing bibliographic information, we want to study the existence of possible interactions. Material and methods: We carried out a prospective study with a targeted interview (October to December 2007) on consenting patients with HIV undergoing HAART treatment. Results: Of the 193 patients that agreed to take part in the survey, 16.6 % confirmed they used alternative medicinal therapies. In 46 % of the cases there was a potential interaction with the effectiveness of HAART. 46 % of the potential interactions were in the case of the patients who used grapefruit as an alternative medicine, 21 % in the case of patients using thistle and Echinacea respectively, 4 % for those using omega-3, Chinese herbs and ginseng. Conclusion: There is a significant use of natural products by these groups of patients, of which a significant percentage interact with HAART. A better understanding of the possible interactions with HAART and improved information offered to patients with HIV is needed (AU)

RESUMO

The use of herbal medicines among Nigerian patients and the tendency to combine this class of medicines with allopathic drugs while on hospital admission have been on the increase. Earlier studies show that community pharmacists from Nigeria believe that they need more training to counsel patients on their use of herbal medications. Objective: To evaluate knowledge base, use, acceptability, attitudes and beliefs of hospital pharmacists and physicians in South-western Nigeria on herbal products / phytopharmaceuticals /dietary supplements (HP/PP/DS). Methods: A 20-odd questionnaire including an 8-item herbal medicine question was used to assess the knowledge of the physicians and pharmacists in the area of pharmacology of HP/PP/DS. Effects of demographic information such as age, sex, year post graduation, years of experience and area of specialization on the scores obtained were evaluated using Fisher’s exact tests. Level of significance was set at p<0.05. Results: Pharmacists (51.4%) believed that the training they had was not adequate while physicians (44.6%) believed HP/PP/DS are not safe and 18.5% believed they are not effective. Pharmacovigilance centres were not significantly used for adverse reactions reported by patients. Pharmacists (67.6%) and physicians (29.3%) believed phytopharmaceuticals interact with other drugs. Year of graduation had a significant effect on the perception of the possibilities of interaction for pharmacists. 5.6% of the physicians and 62.4% of the pharmacists scored ≥50% with the questions on use and interaction potentials of HP/PP/DS, with cadre and years of practice having significant effects. Conclusions: There is a deficiency in the knowledge base of physicians, especially on the pharmacology and potential interaction of herbal medicines. There is an urgent need for the inclusion of pharmacology of common herbal medicines in the curriculum of Nigerian medical degree and an improvement in the pharmacy curriculum in this area (AU)


El uso de plantas medicinales entre los pacientes nigerianos y la tendencia a combinarlas con los medicamentos alopáticos mientras están hospitalizados han ido en aumento. Anteriores estudios muestran que los farmacéuticos comunitarios de Nigeria creen que necesitan más formación para aconsejar pacientes en el uso de sus plantas medicinales. Objetivo: Evaluar el conocimiento, uso, aceptabilidad, actitudes y creencias de los farmacéuticos y médicos de hospital en el Suroeste de Nigeria ante las plantas medicinales/fitoterapia/suplementos dietéticos (PM/FT/SD). Métodos: Se usó un cuestionario de 20 preguntas que incluía 8 de plantas medicinales para evaluar conocimiento de los médicos y farmacéuticos sobre la farmacología de PM/FT/SD. Mediante la prueba exacta de Fischer, se evaluaron los efectos de los datos demográficos tal como edad, sexo, año de graduación, años de experiencia y área de especialización, sobre las puntuaciones obtenidas. El nivel de significación se situó en p<0.05. Resultados: Los farmacéuticos (51,4%) creían que la formación que tenía no era adecuada, mientras que los médicos (44,6%) creían que los PM/FT/SD no son seguros y el 18,5% que no eran efectivos. Los centros de farmacovigilancia no se usaban significativamente para comunicar reacciones reportadas por los pacientes. Los farmacéuticos (67,6%) y los médicos (29,3%) creían que los fitoterápicos interaccionaban con otros medicamentos. El año de graduación tuvo un efecto significativo en la percepción de las posibilidades de interacción por los farmacéuticos. El 5,6% de los médicos y el 62,4% de los farmacéuticos puntuaron ≥50% a las preguntas sobre uso y interacciones potenciales de PM/FT/SD, teniendo los años de ejercicio un efecto significativo. Conclusiones: Hay deficiencia en el conocimiento de los médicos, especialmente en la farmacología y las interacciones potenciales de las plantas medicinales. Hay una necesidad urgente de la inclusión de la farmacología de las plantas medicinales comunes en la licenciatura en medicina en Nigeria y la mejoría de esta área en el currículo de farmacia (AU)

RESUMO

El cannabis es la droga ilegal más consumida en los países del Primer Mundo; está presente en todos los grupos socioeconómicos y étnicos, tanto en áreas urbanas como rurales. Su consumo suele aparecer asociado al de otras drogas legales e ilegales. Existe una importante banalización sobre su uso: sólo la mitad de los jóvenes considera que el consumo de cannabis puede provocar muchos problemas para la salud y sólo el 70% identifica, por parte de sus padres, una actitud de prohibición absoluta de consumo


Cannabis is the illegal drug more consumed in First World’s countries; it is present in all socioeconomic and ethnic groups, as much in urban as in rural areas. Its consumption usually appears associated to other legal and illegal drugs. An important banalization exists on its use: only half of the young people consider that the cannabis consumption can cause many health problems and only 70% identify, from their parents, an attitude of absolute prohibition of consumption

RESUMO

El uso de tratamientos complementarios derivados de hierbas medicinales es bastante común entre las personas infectadas por VIH. Diversos estudios señalan que, en USA, hasta el 80% de la población seropositiva ha recurrido alguna vez a la medicina complementaria. Los objetivos que se buscan en este tipo de terapias son reforzar el sistema inmunológico, evitar las neoplasias, tratar problemas asociados al SIDA, como las infecciones, las alteraciones de la piel, la depresión o paliar los efectos adversos de los antirretrovirales, como las náuseas, la diarrea o la pérdida de peso. La falta de eficacia de estos tratamientos y, sobre todo las potenciales interacciones de los remedios herbales utilizados en estos casos con los fármacos antirretrovirales hacen necesaria su revisión


The use of complementary treatments derived from medicinal herbs is quite common among HIV-infected individuals. Several studies show that up to 80% of the seropositive population in the USA has resorted at one time or another to the use of complementary medicine. The objective that these types of therapies seek is to reinforce the immunological system, to avoid neoplasias, to treat AIDS-associated problems, infections, skin disorders, depression, and to palliate the side effects of antiretroviral agents, such as nausea, diarrhoea, or weight loss. The lack of efficacy of these treatments and, mainly, the potential interactions of herbal remedies with antiretroviral agents used in these cases, call for their urgent review

RESUMO

En los últimos años, el consumo de plantas medicinalesha experimentado un notable incremento en lasociedad española. Esto ha podido ser debido a que enalgunos casos, se ha demostrado su eficacia en el tratamientode determinadas patologías y a la percepción,errónea, de la inocuidad de estos productos.Las plantas medicinales se comportan como verdaderosfármacos ya que las sustancias químicas quelas componen pueden tener una actividad biológica enhumanos. Por esta razón, la administración conjuntacon “fármacos convencionales” puede producir variacionesen la magnitud de su efecto. Este tipo de interacciones,al igual que las producidas entre dos o másfármacos pueden producirse por mecanismos farmacocinéticos,si afectan a procesos de absorción, distribución,metabolismo y excreción o farmacodinámicos,si afectan al resultado de su acción farmacológica.En la literatura médica son escasos los artículos ynotificaciones de casos sobre los efectos adversos einteracciones que afectan a las plantas medicinales, loque probablemente refleja una infranotificación deestos fenómenos. Si a esto añadimos la falta de datosexperimentales y de estudios controlados, la percepciónde su prevalencia es difícil o casi imposible.Este trabajo expone, ordenados según se explicamás adelante, los hallazgos de una exhaustiva revisiónde la literatura médica con el fin de que el lectorconozca su existencia, sin entrar en otras consideraciones,como por ejemplo el grado de evidencia, queserán sujeto de próximos trabajos


In recent years there has been a notable increase ;;in the consumption of medicinal plants in Spanish society. ;;This might be due to the fact that in some cases ;;they have shown themselves to be efficient in treating ;;certain pathologies and to the erroneous perception ;;that these products are innocuous. ;;Medicinal plants behave as authentic medicines ;;since the chemical substances of which they are ;;formed can have a biological activity in humans. For ;;this reason, their joint administration with “conventional ;;medicines” can produce variations in the magnitude ;;of the effect. This type of interaction, just like ;;those produced between two or more medicines, can ;;produce pharmacokinetic mechanisms if they affect ;;the processes of absorption, distribution, metabolism ;;and excretion, or pharmacodynamic mechanisms if ;;they affect the result of the pharmacological action. ;;In the medical literature there are few articles and ;;notifications of cases concerning the adverse effects ;;and interactions that affect medicinal plants, which ;;probably reflects an under-notification of these phenomena. ;;If we add to this the lack of experimental data ;;and controlled studies, perception of their prevalence ;;is difficult or nearly impossible. ;;This article sets out, in an order that will be ;;explained later, the findings of an exhaustive review of ;;the medical literature with the aim of making its existence ;;known to the reader, without going into other considerations, ;;such as the degree of evidence for example, ;;which will be the subject of forthcoming articles

RESUMO

Las plantas medicinales no son, por el hecho de ser remedios naturales,ni eficaces ni inocuas. Algunos preparados a base de hierbasson claramente nefrotóxicos. Otros pueden causar gravesefectos sobre la función renal si se consumen en dosis inadecuadaso si interaccionan con la medicación habitual del paciente conpatología renal. Además, pueden estar contraindicados en pacientesque reciben diálisis renal. Por otro lado, existen en la bibliografíaestudios de casos en los que el problema lo causaban los adulterantespresentes en los preparados, ya fueran metales pesados,insecticidas, pesticidas o incluso otros fármacos.El desconocimiento que actualmente se tiene de los mecanismosde acción de las moléculas activas presentes en las hierbas medicinaleshace desaconsejable su consumo, especialmente en este tipode pacientes


Simply because they are natural remedies, medicinal plants maynot be either effective or innocuous. Some preparations made ofherbs are clearly nephrotoxic. Other preparations can cause severeeffects on the renal function if consumed in inappropriate doses orif they interact with the regular medication the patient who has renalpathology is taking. Moreover, these formulations may be contraindicatedin patients on renal dialysis. On the other hand, the literaturereports cases in which such effects were caused byadulterants present in the preparations, either in the form of heavymetals, insecticides, pesticides, or even other drugs.The current lack of information on the action mechanisms of theactive molecules present in medicinal herbs make their consumptioninadvisable, especially in this type of patients

RESUMO

El espino blanco (crataegus) es una de las plantas más conocidas yutilizadas actualmente tanto en los países occidentales comoorientales. Entre los efectos terapéuticos de los compuestos derivadosdel crataegus destaca el de ser un potente inotrópico positivo.Su mecanismo de acción es exactamente el mismo que el deotro grupo de inotropos, como son los derivados de la digital.Existen numerosos ensayos clínicos publicados que demuestranademás un aumento del período refractario, un efecto vasodilatadory un aumento del flujo sanguíneo coronario, lo que ha llevadoa su comercialización en algunos países de nuestro entorno comoAlemania con indicaciones como insuficiencia cardiaca, insuficienciacoronaria y bradicardia.Su consumo no está exento de efectos secundarios, aunque nosuelen ser graves si se consume en monoterapia. Presenta un grannúmero de interacciones con fármacos, por lo que se desaconsejasu uso en pacientes que consuman diuréticos, antihipertensivos odigitálicos


Crataegus is one of the most known and broadly used plants bothin west and eastern countries. The therapeutic effects of the compoundsderived from the crataegus plants are well known, being apositive powerful inotropic agent. Its action mechanism is exactlythe same as that of the rest of groups of inotropes, such as thosederived from the digital version.There are numberless clinical assays published demonstrating alsoan increase in the refractory period, a vasodilatating effect and anincrease of coronary blood flow, which has led to it being commercialisedin some countries of our setting such as in Germanyfor its indications in cardiac insufficiency, coronary insufficiencyand bradycardia.Its consumption is not free of side effects, although these are notsevere if consumed in monotherapy. It presents a large number ofdrug interactions, and thus, its use is not recommended in patientstaking diuretics, drugs for high blood pressure, or digitalicdrugs

Background. Cancer is the second cause of deathin Mexico, most cases are detected at advancedstages and the use of chemotherapy is frequent. Atpresent, more than 300 types of complementaryand/or alternative medicine (CAM) treatments areknown that offer different therapeutic objectives.Many patients use this type of treatments.Objective. To determine the characteristics of thepatients that use CAM, to identify the aim of thesetreatments, the source of information and the potentialbenefits obtained by the patient.Patients and methods. A questionnaire was appliedfrom February 20 to March 5, 2004 to non-selectedpatients with cancer in private consultation to determineage, sex, education level, work, use of CAM,type and number of used therapies, potential benefitsand monthly cost. Two groups were formed, Afor users and B for non-users of CAM. Results betweengroups were compared and the mentionedvariables were correlated with the use of alternativemedicine.Results. Group A included 37 patients and group Bincluded 38, with no difference regarding age, educationlevel, work and oncological diagnosis, p >0.05; a significant trend was found as regards thefeminine sex, p = 0.07, neoplasm different frombreast cancer, p = 0.08 and evident association withneoplasm advanced stages, p = 0.02. Most patientsused between 1 and 3 types of therapies, 97.2%. Themost common types of therapies were nutritionaland spiritual, 54% and 48.6%, respectively. Thesource was the patient's family in 56.4% and thephysician in 24.3%. Complementary and alternativetherapy was considered a success in 57.1%; most ofthe users mentioned benefits (78.6%) deemed astranquility (46.4%) or improvement of the physicalcondition (46.4%). The average monthly cost was $345.5 dollars, with a range of $ 13.6 to $ 2,545.5 dollars.Conclusions. The use of complementary and/or alternativetherapy is frequent among young womenwith advanced cancer and high level of education.The family participates in the decision of usingthese methods; most users noticed a benefit in theirgeneral condition and reported tranquility; thesepatients may be prone to higher incidence of depressionand anxiety. The effectiveness and safetyof this type of treatments remain to be determined,as well as the possible interactions with conventionaltherapy

RESUMO

OBJETIVOS: Valorar el consumo de plantas medicinales en la consulta preanestésica de un hospital universitario español. MATERIAL Y MÉTODOS: Durante tres meses se llevaron a cabo un total de 500 encuestas repartidas de forma aleatoria en pacientes que acudían a consulta para valoración preanestésica RESULTADOS: De las 431 encuestas válidas, 35,73 % (154) de los pacientes encuestados afirmaron estar consumiendo algún tipo de planta medicinal y el 12,76% (55) afirmaron estar consumiendo alguna planta medicinal recogida en la bibliografía consultada como potencialmente tóxica. El consumo fue mayor en mujeres 64,28% (P<0,001). De los consumidores, 88,96% (137) no consideraban a las plantas medicinales como medicamentos y el 91,55% (141) no habría informado al anestesiólogo de su consumo durante una entrevista clínica rutinaria. CONCLUSIÓN: En la muestra estudiada el consumo de plantas medicinales con potenciales efectos adversos e interacciones farmacológicas con distintos fármacos utilizados habitualmente durante el periodo perioperatorio es importante. Es necesario que los anestesiólogos conozcan dichas plantas medicinales y sus efectos, e interroguen de forma específica sobre su consumo durante la consulta preanestésica


OBJECTIVES: To assess the use of medicinal plant preparations in preanesthetic interviews at a Spanish university hospital. MATERIALS AND METHODS: A total of 500 questionnaires were randomly distributed over a period of 3 months to patients attending a preanesthetic assessment interview. RESULTS: Of the 431 valid questionnaires returned, 154 (35.73%) were from patients who reported consumption of some type of herbal remedy and 55 (12.76%) were from patients who used a medicinal plant considered in the literature to be potentially toxic. Consumption was higher among women (64.28%) (P<0.001). Among users of these plants, 137 (88.96%) reported that they did not consider them to be medications and 141 (91.55%) would not have told the anesthesiologist about their use during a routine clinical interview. CONCLUSION: There is considerable use of medicinal herbs with potentially adverse interactions with various drugs used during the perioperative period. Anesthesiologists need to be familiar with such herbs and their effects and to ask specific questions about their use during the preanesthetic interview
