Alteração de conservantes no pós-registro e possíveis impactos na qualidade dos medicamentos fabricados no Brasil

Abstract

Na sua quase totalidade, as formas farmacêuticas líquidas apresentam agentes conservantes em suas fórmulas visando a proteção contra o desenvolvimento microbiano. Entretanto, pesquisas indicam que conservantes são substâncias tóxicas, pois dependendo da concentração administrada podem provocar reações adversas ou intoxicações. A inclusão desses agentes na fórmula de um medicamento deve seguir rigorosamente os parâmetros de eficácia e segurança, garantindo assim proteção antimicrobiana máxima sem provocar danos aos usuários. Por essas razões, este estudo teve como objetivo analisar os possíveis impactos na qualidade das dispersões moleculares de uso oral comercializadas no Brasil em decorrência das alterações na concentração de excipientes no pós-registro de medicamentos, em especial a modificação “moderada” de conservantes (5 – 10%). Foram analisadas as fórmulas de todas as dispersões moleculares de uso oral, de referência, registradas na ANVISA em março de 2009, e os respectivos sistemas conservantes foram identificados. A elaboração de uma matriz “medicamentos versus sistemas conservantes” propiciou a definição dos principais sistemas conservantes empregados industrialmente e sua inserção em oito fórmulas de bancada. Os testes de efetividade antimicrobiana realizados nestas fórmulas indicaram que metade delas não atendeu aos critérios de aceitação propostos na monografia oficial (USP 32), além de outras duas que apresentaram frágil proteção antimicrobiana, pois nelas o crescimento microbiano esteve muito próximo do limite máximo permitido. Em se tratando dos riscos que tais alterações possam provocar na conservação de um medicamento, estes valores são preocupantes, especialmente em escala industrial e, no mínimo, as fórmulas não aprovadas deveriam ser retestadas

Almost all liquid dosage forms have preservative agents in their formulas in order to protect against microbial growth. However, researches indicate that preservatives are toxic, because depending on the administered concentration they can cause adverse reactions or intoxications. The inclusion of these agents in the formulation of a product should strictly follow the parameters of efficacy and safety, thus ensuring maximum antimicrobial protection without causing harm to users. For these reasons, this study aimed to examine the possible impacts on the quality of molecular dispersions for oral administration commercialized in Brazil as a result of changes in the concentration of excipients in the post-registration of medicines, particularly the “moderate” modification of preservative agents (5 – 10%). All formulas of molecular dispersions for oral use, as reference drugs, recorded at ANVISA in March 2009 were analyzed and the preservative agents were identified. The development of a matrix drugs versus preservative systems led to the definition of major preservative systems used industrially and their inclusions in eight formulas studied. The antimicrobial effectiveness tests conducted on these formulas indicated that half of them did not meet the acceptance criteria proposed in the official monograph (USP 32), beyond two other formulas that presented weak antimicrobial protection, because microbial growth in them was very close to the maximum allowed. Considering the risks that such changes may result in the conservation of a drug these negative values are worrisome, especially on an industrial scale and, at least, the formulas not approved should be retested
