ABSTRACT
Occupational exposure to hazardous drugs can cause harmful effects on health professionals and several protective measures must be taken. Nevertheless, classification of hazardous drugs is not the same in all the published repertoires and the terminology is still confusing hazardous drugs, biohazardous drugs or risky drugs are terms improperly described and can define very different drugs with a very different hazard profiles. In Spain, there is not an updated official list of hazardous drugs, and healthcare professionals must consider and follow other published lists. In our opinion, it is mandatory to do a consensus among these professionals, administration and labor union organizations in order to clarify some conflictive questions not only in healthcare settings but in investigational and academic scenarios too. These multidisciplinary groups should be involved also in teaching new and non-experienced personnel and in the knowledge reinforcement for the experienced ones (AU)
RESUMEN
La exposición laboral a medicamentos biopeligrosos puede causar daños a la salud en los profesionales sanitarios expuestos, por lo que deben tomarse medidas protectoras. Sin embargo, la clasificación de estos medicamentos no es la misma en todos los repertorios y listas publicados, y la terminología sigue siendo confusa medicamentos peligrosos, medicamentos biopeligrosos o medicamentos de riesgo son términos que no definen bien el concepto que se quiere transmitir, y agrupan sustancias muy diferentes, con perfiles de riesgo también muy diferentes. En España no hay una lista oficial actualizada de medicamentos biopeligrosos, y los profesionales de la salud deben considerar y seguir otras listas publicadas. En nuestra opinión, sería necesario establecer un consenso entre profesionales, Administración y organizaciones sindicales para clarificar y definir las distintas cuestiones planteadas, no solo en el medio sanitario, sino también en otros escenarios (investigación, estructuras docentes), incluyendo la formación e información de todo el personal implicado (AU)
