and the peculiarities and care in the use of these drugs. This care is directed to the
storage and correct administration of homeopathic medicines, which, once having
their own characteristics, require special care. Method: it was carried out in the
Literature Review format, selected theoretical references and scientific articles,
published in written and electronic media, which fit the proposed theme, in the
Portuguese language. The search for information and scientific articles used in this
work was carried out on the websites Pubmed, Google Acadêmico, Scielo, Science
Direct, website of the Ministry of Health and Anvisa, using the following words and
expressions: Homeopathic medicine, Pharmaceutical care in homeopathy and care
in the use of homeopathy. Results and Discussion: Homeopathy uses drugs of plant,
mineral and animal origin. The medication acts by stimulating the body's natural
healing process, it is safe when supervised by the health team, but it has adverse
effects like any other medication. The pharmacist must advise his patient on the need
for continuous use of the medication, evaluate the prescription or make the most
appropriate indication, inform the storage method, evaluate the possible interactions
with other medications or foods, inform the appropriate times for taking the
medications and its proper dose. Finally, closely monitor possible undesirable effects
and the effectiveness of homeopathic treatment. Conclusion: the homeopathic
medicine, having its own characteristics as to its origin, mode of action and
manufacture, must have its care well disseminated for the correct administration and
storage. Therefore, the practice of Pharmaceutical Care becomes a primary factor,
so that the patient can be monitored during all therapy, by the pharmaceutical
professional. | |
