Extratos secos padronizados : tendência atual em fitoterapia

Abstract

Dados mostram que o uso das plantas medicinais em países industrializados constitui cerca de 20% do total de prescrições médicas. Tendo em vista a prática da Fitoterapia segura numa época em que se vivencia a expansão da medicina baseada em evidências, não se deve ter dúvidas sobre a eficácia e a segurança de intervenções terapêuticas, incluindo aquelas com medicamentos fitoterápicos. Logo, as provas da sua eficácia e segurança devem ser obtidas preferencialmente a partir de ensaios clínicos devidamente conduzidos, embora a legislação isente tais estudos para fitoterápicos de uso tradicional ou de uso bem estabelecido. Neste artigo, buscou-se analisar e discutir os benefícios e vantagens de se utilizar extratos secos padronizados em substituição a drogas em pó e extratos secos comuns na fabricação magistral de medicamentos fitoterápicos. A partir do estudo realizado, concluiu-se que para haver cada vez mais incentivo a essa prática terapêutica, sugere-se a realização de ensaios clínicos devidamente conduzidos para todo medicamento fitoterápico.

Data shows that the use of the medicinal plants in industrialized countries represents around 20% of the total medical prescriptions. Considering the need to establish a safe phytotherapic practice, specially when the evidence based medicine is a current tendency, phytotherapic medicines can no longer justify any doubts regarding its safety and efficacy. So, proof of efficacy and safety must result preferably from properly conducted clinical trials, although the legislation exempts such studies for traditional or well established phytotherapics. In this article, benefits and advantages of standardized dry extracts used in phytotherapic medicines instead of powder drugs and dry extracts are analyzed and discussed. The study reveals as main conclusive remark, that adequate clinical trials are essential to promote this therapeutical practice.
