Abstract(s)
A atividade farmacêutica pode ser bastante abrangente e por isso revelar-se muito
importante para ajudar a esclarecer muitas questões de âmbito forense. A intervenção
do farmacêutico pode assim abranger áreas tão diversas como seja o esclarecimento
de situações de má-prática profissional, o estudo de reações adversas a
drogas e medicamentos ou o impacto do consumo de álcool e substâncias psicotrópicas
e estupefacientes na condução de veículos, entre muitos outros casos de
carácter civil ou criminal. Contudo, devido ao facto de os farmacêuticos serem especialistas
nas ciências relacionadas com a utilização de medicamentos ou drogas, seja
para fins terapêuticos ou num contexto abusivo, bem como na utilização de meios
instrumentais para as análises destas substâncias, a sua intervenção assume um
particular relevo na área da toxicologia forense.
The pharmaceutical activity can be quite comprehensive and can therefore prove to be very important to help clarify many forensic issues. The pharmacist’s intervention can thus cover areas as diverse as clarifying situations of professional malpractice, the study of adverse reactions to illicit drugs and medicinal products or the impact of alcohol consumption and use of psychotropic and narcotic substances when driving vehicles, among many other cases of a civil or criminal nature. However, since pharmacists are specialists in sciences related to the use of medicines or illicit drugs, whether for therapeutic purposes or in an abusive context, as well as in the use of analytical instruments for the analysis of these substances, their intervention assumes a particular importance in the field of forensic toxicology.
