Resumo: This consensus document addresses the reduction of the environmental impact of inhalers in Portugal. It was prepared by the Portuguese Council for Health and the Environment and the societies representing the specialties that account for these drugs’ largest volume of prescriptions, namely the Portuguese Society of Pulmonology, the Portuguese Society of Allergology and Clinical Immunology, the Portuguese Society of Pediatrics, the Portuguese Society of Internal Medicine, the Portuguese Association of General and Family Medicine and also a patient association, the Respira Association. The document acknowledges the significant impact of pressurized metered-dose inhalers on greenhouse gas emissions and highlights the need to transition to more sustainable alternatives. The carbon footprint of pressurized metered-dose inhalers and dry powder inhalers in Portugal was calculated, and the level of awareness among prescribing physicians on this topic was also estimated. Finally, recommendations were developed to accelerate the reduction of the ecological footprint of inhalers.

Foi elaborado pelo Conselho Português para a Saúde e Ambiente e pelas sociedades que representam as especialidades com maior volume de prescrição destes medicamentos, nomeadamente a Sociedade Portuguesa de Pneumologia, a Sociedade Portuguesa de Alergologia e Imunologia Clínica, a Sociedade Portuguesa de Pediatria, a Sociedade Portuguesa de Medicina Interna e a Associação Portuguesa de Medicina Geral e Familiar em conjunto com uma associação de doentes, a Associação Respira. Reconhece-se o impacto significativo dos inaladores pressurizados doseáveis nas emissões de gases com efeito de estufa e a necessidade de transição para alternativas mais sustentáveis. Calculou-se a pegada de carbono dos inaladores pressurizados doseáveis e dos inaladores de pó seco em Portugal e estimou-se o nível de literacia dos médicos prescritores relativamente a este tema. Finalmente, foram elaboradas recomendações com o objetivo de acelerar a redução da pegada ecológica dos inaladores.Ordem dos Médicos2024-09-02info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersioninfo:eu-repo/semantics/articleapplication/pdfhttps://www.actamedicaportuguesa.com/revista/index.php/amp/article/view/22062Acta Médica Portuguesa; Vol. 37 No. 9 (2024): September; 654-661Acta Médica Portuguesa; Vol. 37 N.º 9 (2024): Setembro; 654-6611646-07580870-399Xreponame:Repositório Científico de Acesso Aberto de Portugal (Repositórios Cientìficos)instname:Agência para a Sociedade do Conhecimento (UMIC) - FCT - Sociedade da Informaçãoinstacron:RCAAPporhttps://www.actamedicaportuguesa.com/revista/index.php/amp/article/view/22062https://www.actamedicaportuguesa.com/revista/index.php/amp/article/view/22062/15501Direitos de Autor (c) 2024 Acta Médica Portuguesainfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessCampos, Luí­sRosa, PaulaCarreiro Martins , PedroXavier, BilhotaLeuschner, PedroM.
