Abstract

Biljni pripravci najstariji su način liječenja različitih bolesti. Cilj ovog diplomskog rada bio je istražiti potrošnju biljnih pripravaka, ispitati mišljenje pacijenata o sigurnosti biljnih pripravaka, znanju o njihovim indikacijama, interakcijama i nuspojavama. Nadalje, cilj je bio ispitati koje izvore informacija o biljnim pripravcima korisnici smatraju pouzdanima te dobivaju li upute o sigurnom korištenju od strane magistra farmacije prilikom kupnje biljnog pripravka. Drugi dio diplomskog rada odnosio se na ispitivanje prometa biljnih pripravaka u ljekarni kako bismo saznali koji su najčešće korišteni te koje su biljne droge najviše zastupljene. Rezultati provedenog istraživanja ukazuju na neinformiranost korisnika biljnih pripravaka o njihovim mogućim interakcijama i nuspojavama. Nadalje, pokazalo se da korisnici imaju veliko povjerenje u ljekarnika kao izvora pouzdanih informacija o djelovanju i potencijalnim nuspojavama biljnih pripravaka Iz toga proizlazi da ljekarnik ima važnu ulogu u informiranju pacijenata o uzimanju biljnih pripravaka, posebice u kombinaciji s konvencionalnim lijekovima kako bi se smanjila mogućnost da dođe do neželjenih i štetnih učinaka. Iz drugog dijela istraživanja proizlazi kako su najprodavaniji pripravci koji djeluju na gastrointestinalni sustav i pripravci koji djeluju na kardiovaskularni sustav. Mogući razlog za ovakav rezultat je užurbani način života koji za direktnu posljedicu ima stres i nepravilan način prehrane.

Abstract (english)

Herbal preparations are the oldest way of treating various diseases. The aim of this diploma thesis was to investigate the consumption of herbal products, as well as to examine the opinion of patients on the safety of herbal products, the knowledge of their indications, interactions and side effects. Furthermore, the aim was to examine the users' sources of information on herbal products, which ones of them they considered reliable and if they receive pharmacist's instructions on the safe use of these products during the purchase. The second part of the thesis was to study the herbal products in the pharmacy to find out which ones are the most commonly used and which herbal drugs are the most represented. The results point to a patients’ lack of information on herbal preparations including their possible interactions and side effects. Furthermore, it was shown that users have great confidence in the pharmacist as a source of reliable information about the activity and potential side effects of herbal preparations This means that the pharmacist plays an important role in informing patients about taking herbal products, particularly in combination with conventional medicines to minimize the possibility of undesirable and harmful effects. The second part of the research points out that the best selling products are the ones that act on the gastrointestinal system as well as on cardiovascular system. A possible reason for this result is the busy lifestyle that implies stress and improper diet.
