Diseño del área de farmacotecnia para fórmulas magistrales no estériles en el servicio de farmacia del Hospital Andino de la ciudad de Riobamba.

Abstract

The objective of this degree was the design of the area of pharmaceutical magisterial non-sterile formulations in the Hospital Andino, Pharmacy of Riobamba. This design is the result of an assessment to the current conditions of preparation of sterile formulation, for which techniques were used direct observation and surveys to the nursing staff at the service of the hospital and pharmacy. It was found that the area of the hospitalization service was the place where the formulations were made, being an inadequate space and devoid of necessary equipment, therefore it does not guarantee the quality, safety, and efficacy of the non-sterile products. The little knowledge about the aspect of pharmaceutical that the hospital staff possessed was established and the design of the area was carried out, projecting the physical space and the necessary equipment, which must be located within the pharmacy service. In addition, standard operating procedures of a general nature were prepared for the activities that will be carried out in this installation. The design of the area and the preparation of the protocols were carried out based on hospital requirements and the current regulations on good practices for the preparation of non-sterile formulations. With this project, it was possible to establish an approach with scientific foundations that would allow in the long term to establish an area of pharmacology and the participation of the pharmaceutical biochemist as directly responsible for the area. The management of the Hospital Andino of Riobamba is recommended to implement the area suitable for the safe production of non-sterile formulations.
