Resumo: | This work proposes an analysis of the disposal of medicines and the socio-environmental impacts, highlighting the contribution of the pharmacist to this awareness, minimizing the contamination of soils and waters, as well as the living beings of these environments. Medicines used in the domestic environment are often discarded in general garbage, in sinks or toilets, one of the biggest public health problems in the world. The objective was to discuss the proper disposal of medicines and the role of the pharmacist in raising patient awareness about this disposal. The methodology of integrative literature review was applied based on the analysis of 10 basic articles, applying inclusion criteria: temporality, scientificity and content. With the analysis of the studies, it was observed that the environmental impact due to incorrect waste disposal is one of the main causes of contamination and the consequences of this action harm an entire population and put the health of the entire community at risk. It was concluded that the pharmacist is the professional trained to make the user aware of the proper disposal of solid medical waste, and that this proper disposal contributes to the environment, so proper disposal can occur promoted both by companies, pharmacies and places where this incineration is carried out properly, aiming at minimizing problems. |

Os medicamentos utilizados no ambiente doméstico são frequentemente descartados no lixo geral, em pias ou vasos sanitários, um dos maiores problemas de saúde pública do mundo. Objetivou-se discutir o descarte adequado dos medicamentos e o papel do farmacêutico na conscientização do paciente sobre esse descarte. Aplicou-se a metodologia de revisão integrativa da literatura a partir da análise de 10 artigos basilares, com aplicação de critérios de inclusão: temporalidade, cientificidade e conteúdo. Com a análise dos estudos observou-se que o impacto ambiental por descarte incorreto de resíduos é uma das principais causas de contaminação e as consequências dessa ação prejudica toda uma população e coloca em risco a saúde de toda a comunidade. Concluiu-se que o farmacêutico é o profissional capacitado para conscientizar o utente a respeito do descarte adequado dos resíduos sólidos medicamentosos, e que este descarte adequado contribui para o meio ambiente, assim o descarte adequado pode ocorrer promovido tanto por empresas, farmácias e locais em que essa incineração seja realizada de forma adequada, visando a minimização dos problemas.Sustenere Publishing2023-01-04info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://sustenere.inf.br/index.php/sciresalutis/article/view/767410.6008/CBPC2236-9600.2022.003.0021Scire Salutis; Vol. 12 No. 3 (2022): Scire Salutis - Mai, Jun, Jul 2022; 184-194Scire Salutis; Vol. 12 Núm. 3 (2022): Scire Salutis - Mai, Jun, Jul 2022; 184-194Scire Salutis; v. 12 n. 3 (2022): Scire Salutis - Mai, Jun, Jul 2022; 184-1942236-9600reponame:Scire Salutisinstname:Companhia Brasileira de Produção Científica (CBPC)instacron:ESSporenghttps://sustenere.inf.br/index.php/sciresalutis/article/view/7674/4265https://sustenere.inf.br/index.php/sciresalutis/article/view/7674/4264Copyright (c) 2023 Scire Salutishttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessMarquez, Carolinne OliveiraRibeiro, Henrique de Queiroz Pereira Gomes, Wemerson da Silva 2023-08-03T13:33:12Zoai:ojs.pkp.sfu.ca:article/7674Revistahttps://sustenere.co/index.php/sciresalutisONGhttps://sustenere.co/index.php/sciresalutis/oai||carlos@arvore.org.br2236-96002236-9600opendoar:2023-08-03T13:33:12Scire Salutis - Companhia Brasileira de Produção Científica (CBPC)false |
