FORMAS FARMACÉUTICAS Y SU ADMINISTRACIÓN ¿CUALES NO DEBEN PARTIRSE O TRITURARSE?
Abstract
Cuando un paciente se dirige a una farmacia y presenta una receta recibe a cambio de ésta principios activos que se presentan en diferentes formas farmacéuticas. La elaboración de las formas farmacéuticas es de suma importancia para garantizar una utilización racional de los principios activos adaptándolos a la vía de administración adecuada. La mayoría de los medicamentos usados hoy en día se encuentran en forma sólida, por lo que es común la práctica de triturar tabletas y mezclarlas con alimentos antes de administrarlas, especialmente en establecimientos institucionales de atención médica. Generalmente, cualquier tableta que está cubierta, lo está por una razón y no debe ser triturada. Las formulaciones con cubierta entérica o de
liberación prolongada nunca deben ser trituradas debido a que pueden ocasionar irritación de la mucosa del tracto digestivo y generar efectos secundarios o toxicidad.
Palabras clave: Formas farmacéuticas, triturar. partir
