Title Stavovi ljekarnika o sigurnosti, učinkovitosti i racionalnoj uporabi biljnih pripravaka Title (english) Attitudes of pharmacists about the safety, efficiency and rational use of herbal preparations Author Dorotea Batinić Mentor Živka Juričić (mentor)Committee member Živka Juričić (predsjednik povjerenstva)Committee member Lidija Bach-Rojecky (član povjerenstva)Committee member Marija Kindl (član povjerenstva)Granter University of Zagreb Defense date and country 2019-05-24, Croatia Scientific / art field, BIOMEDICINE AND HEALTHCARE Abstract Cilj ovog rada je utvrditi stavove ljekarnika o sigurnosti i učinkovitosti biljnih pripravaka i izglede za njihovo
racionalno izdavanje i uporabu. Među općom populacijom prevladava stav o biljnim pripravcima kao
prirodnima i potpuno sigurnima, što za posljedicu ima povećan rast nekontroliranog samoliječenja koje nije
popraćeno prijavljivanjem uporabe biljnih pripravaka ni liječniku ni ljekarniku. Ljekarnici imaju ključnu
ulogu u sprječavanju navedenih događaja provođenjem ljekarničke skrbi i savjetovanja te racionalne
fitoterapije. S ciljem utvrđivanja ljekarnikovih stavova o sigurnosti, učinkovitosti i racionalnoj uporabi biljnih
pripravaka, provedeno je anketno istraživanje koje se sastojalo od 4 opće i 19 specifičnih tvrdnji koje
odražavaju mišljenja ljekarnika o navedenoj temi. Anketirano je 50 ljekarnica na području grada Zagreba
tijekom ožujka 2019. godine. Istraživanjem je utvrđeno da ispitanice imaju pozitivan stav o biljnim
pripravcima, točnije o njihovoj sigurnosti, učinkovitosti i zdravstvenom potencijalu te da većina njih
upotrebljava pripravke i u vlastite svrhe. Također, ljekarnice su pokazale i očekivanu razinu svijesti o
mogućim nuspojavama biljnih pripravaka, ali i mogućim interakcijama u koje oni mogu stupiti prilikom
istovremene uporabe s drugim biljnim pripravkom ili lijekom. Osim toga, izrazile su i određenu bojazan po
pitanju kvalitete biljnih pripravaka, pogotovo u usporedbi s kvalitetom sintetskih lijekova. U skladu s
navedenim, ispitanice smatraju kako bi biljni pripravci trebali prolaziti više ispitivanja prije stavljanja na
tržište. Ohrabrujući su podaci koji pokazuju da gotovo sve ispitanice redovito savjetuju pacijente o pravilnoj
i sigurnoj uporabi biljnih pripravaka i prikupljaju medikacijsku povijest koja uključuje i lijekove i biljne
pripravke. Isto tako, gotovo sve ispitanice izjavile su da redovito upozoravaju pacijente koje pripravke i/ili
lijekove ne smiju koristiti istovremeno s određenim biljnim pripravkom zbog mogućih interakcija. Važan je
podatak da je velika većina ispitanica zainteresirana za dodatno obrazovanje koje pokriva temu biljnih
pripravaka. Dakle, ispitane ljekarnice izrazile su želju za proširenjem znanja i kompetencija vezanih uz ovu
temu kako bi pružile što kvalitetniju skrb pacijentima. Naime, ljekarnikova uloga od presudne je važnosti da
bi biljni pripravak bio pravilno indiciran, siguran i učinkovit, u pravilnoj dozi i odgovarajućem periodu
uporabe. Iz svega navedenog može se zaključiti kako je tema biljnih pripravaka, čija popularnost kontinuirano
raste, sastavni i neizostavni dio korpusa znanja ljekarnika.
Abstract (english) The aim of this paper is to determine the pharmacists' views on the safety and efficacy of herbal preparations
and the prospects for their rational issuance and use. Among the general population prevails the attitude of
herbal preparations as natural and completely safe, resulting in increased growth of uncontrollable selftreatment
which is not accompanied by reporting the use of herbal preparations to either a doctor or a
pharmacist. Pharmacists play a key role in preventing these events through pharmacy care and counseling
and rational phytotherapy. In order to determine the pharmacist's views on the safety, efficacy and rational
use of herbal preparations, a survey was conducted that included 4 general and 19 specific claims that reflect
the opinions of the pharmacist on the subject. There were 50 pharmacists surveyed in the city of Zagreb
during March 2019. The study found that respondents had a positive attitude on herbal preparations, more
specifically their safety, efficacy and health potential, and that most of them use the preparations for their
own purposes. Also, pharmacists have shown an expected level of awareness of possible side effects of herbal
preparations, but also the possible interactions they may have with simultaneous use with other herbal
preparations or medicines. In addition, they expressed a certain perplexity regarding the quality of herbal
preparations, especially in comparison with the quality of synthetic drugs. In accordance with the above,
respondents believe that herbal preparations should undergo multiple tests before being placed on the market.
It is encouraging to show that almost all pharmacists regularly advise patients on the correct and safe use of
herbal preparations and collect a medical history that includes both medicines and herbal preparations.
Similarly, almost all respondents stated that they regularly warn patients that preparations and / or medicines
should not be used at the same time with certain herbal preparations due to possible interactions. It is
important to note that the vast majority of respondents are interested in additional education covering the
theme of herbal preparations. So, investigated pharmacists have expressed the desire to expand knowledge
and competences related to this topic in order to provide quality care to patients. Namely, the pharmacist's
role is of crucial importance for the herbal preparation to be properly indicated, safe and effective, at a proper
dose and for an appropriate period of use. From all of the above it can be concluded that the theme of herbal
preparations, whose popularity is constantly growing, is an integral and indispensable part of the corpus of
knowledge of a pharmacist.
