Abstract(s)
A produção dos medicamentos manipulados é uma prática antiga e importante nas
farmácias comunitárias portuguesas, pois permite obter dosagens e formas farmacêuticas que não são obtidas na indústria. Porém, os estudos realizados são escassos e não permitem determinar com segurança quais os fatores que influenciam a prática de manipulação nas farmácias e as perspetivas dos profissionais sobre a sua pertinência.
Este estudo apresenta-se como descritivo e pretende-se conhecer a panorâmica
atual da produção de medicamentos manipulados nas farmácias comunitárias Portuguesas e identificar as perspetivas futuras, dos farmacêuticos, no que respeita à produção deste tipo de medicamentos.
Objetivo: Caracterizar a atual produção de medicamentos manipulados nas farmácias comunitárias portuguesas.
Materiais e Métodos: 98 farmácias foram contactadas por via eletrónica e, as informações sobre o estudo e acesso ao questionário foram disponibilizadas online. O
questionário era composto por 23 questões de escolha múltipla e 2 de resposta aberta curta, abordando o tema.
Resultados: Nos 98 questionários respondidos 74,5% (73 farmácias) produzem manipulados e 24,5% (25 farmácias) não produzem manipulados.
Conclusões: As formas farmacêuticas mais produzidas são as soluções e suspensões para utilização oral, as soluções para diagnóstico ou utilização laboratorial e as preparações semi-sólidas para aplicação local. As especialidades médicas que mais
prescrevem manipulados são a dermatologia (47,95%), otorrinolaringologia (15,30%),
pediatria (8,16%) e ginecologia, endocrinologia e dietética e nutrição (1,03%). Quanto às
perspetivas futuras sobre a manipulação, 45% dos inquiridos acreditam que vai diminuir.

However, the studies performed are scarce and do not allow to determine with certainty which factors influence the practice of manipulation in pharmacies and the professionals' perspective on its pertinence. This study is descriptive and aims to know the current panorama of the production of handled drugs in Portuguese community pharmacies and to identify the future perspectives of pharmacists regarding the production of this type of medicines. Objective: To characterize the current production of handled drugs in Portuguese community pharmacies. Materials and methods: 98 pharmacies were contacted electronically and the information about the study and access to the questionnaire was made available online. The questionnaire was composed of 23 multiple choice questions and 2 short open answer questions, addressing the topic. Results: In the 98 questionnaires 74.5% (73 pharmacies) answered that produce handled drugs and 24.5% (25 pharmacies) do not produce handled drugs. Conclusions: The most widely used dosage forms are solutions and suspensions for oral use, solutions for diagnosis or laboratory use, and semi-solid preparations for local application. The most prescribed medical specialties are dermatology (47.95%), otolaryngology (15.30%), pediatrics (8.16%) and genecology, endocrinology and dietetics and nutrition (1.03%). As for future perspectives on manipulation, 45% of respondents believe it will decrease.
