RESUMEN
Se realizó una investigación observacional, descriptiva y transversal sobre el consumo de medicamentos en la República Bolivariana de Venezuela durante el bienio 2007-2008, prescritos por médicos cubanos, con vistas a determinar las sospechas de reacciones adversas a estos. Entre los principales resultados sobresalió que el fumarato ferroso en tabletas fue el fármaco más consumido y el captopril el de mayor notificación de efectos colaterales, con 459, mientras que en sentido general predominaron las respuestas medicamentosas indeseables en adultos (73,0 por ciento). Se concluyó que el uso de fármacos no devino el factor determinante en las sospechas de repercusiones negativas, pues estas resultaron ser numerosas en algunos de los menos empleados y viceversa, lo cual pudo atribuirse a otros factores como disponibilidad, hábitos de prescripción, desconocimiento de acciones secundarias y pereza en la notificación, entre otros, que debían investigarse para sostener los hallazgos descritos.
ABSTRACT
A descriptive, observational, and cross-sectional research on medication consumption, prescribed by Cuban doctors, in the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela was carried out during the biennium 2007-2008 in order to determine the suspicion of adverse events. Ferrous fumarate pills, the treatment most used, and captopril, the medication of higher side effects notification, with 459, prevailed among the main results. Whereas, in general sense, non-desirable responses brought on by medication were relevant in adults (73,0 percent). It was concluded that drug use did not become a determinant factor in the suspicion of adverse events because it was numerous in some of the medication less consumed and vice versa, which could have been due to some factors, such as availability, prescription habits, secondary actions unawareness, and laziness for the notification, and the like, that should have been investigated so as to sustain the findings described.
