ABSTRACT
Adherence to antiretroviral therapy is key contributor to decreasesing morbidity and mortality from HIV/ AIDS infection. However, it is affected by treatment-related factors including the multiple adverse reactions and interactions arising from chronic polypharmacy. In order to determine drug-related problems, 66 outpatients from Hospital Carlos Van Buren on antiretroviral therapy were monitored. 100 % had medication-related problems and 46.1% of those problems were related to the safety of the therapy. Hypertriglyceridemia associated to the combined use of both nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitor and a non-nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitor was the most frequent adverse reaction. Results show that pharmacological monitoring of patients on antiretroviral treatment is necessary for the early identification of drug-related problems and for the proposal of alternatives that promote therapeutic safety and efficacy.
RESUMEN
La adherencia al tratamiento anti-retroviral es un pilar fundamental en la reducción de la morbi-mortalidad de la infección por VIH/SIDA. Sin embargo, se ve dificultada por ser un tratamiento que involucra numerosos medicamentos administrados de forma crónica, con posibilidad de presentar reacciones adversas y/o interacciones. Se realizó un seguimiento farmacoterapéutico a 66 pacientes ambulatorios con tratamiento anti-retroviral del Hospital Carlos Van Buren. El 100% de los pacientes presentó problemas relacionados con medicamentos, afectando en 46,1% a la seguridad de la terapia. La reacción adversa más frecuente fue hipertrigliceridemia, principalmente asociada al uso de dos inhibidores nucleosídico de la transcriptasa reversa con un inhibidor no nucleosídico de la transcriptasa reversa. Los resultados permiten concluir que la monitorización farmacológica de pacientes con tratamiento anti-retroviral identifica en forma precoz los problemas relacionados con medicamentos, favoreciendo la seguridad y eficacia de la terapia propuesta.
