This was stated by the technical director of the Pharmacotechnic Laboratory, Maria Ines Arganaraz, which deals with the pharmacy service of the Avelaneda Hospital. Within the framework of the interdisciplinary project titled ‘Hospitals and Green Universities, Together’ in Search of a Healthy Environment.
The expert, who is also Professor of Pharmaceutical Technology II, Chair of Pharmacy Career at UNT, said: “The purpose of the Pharmacotechnic Laboratory is to broaden the range of pharmaceutical formulations that industry does not produce and others that are available, but that are available in pharmaceutical forms. and/or the dosage must be modified, adapting it to a medical prescription that seeks greater therapeutic effectiveness for the benefit of the patient, these are called orphan drugs And this off label use,
| Similarly, the expert stressed that the proposal is to move towards patient-focused personalized medicine. Presently the laboratory is dedicated to the design, development, production and quality control of non-sterile compound and official drugs, preferably in solutions, suspensions and emulsions. |
It should be noted that the Pharmacotechnic Laboratory has the potential for continued growth, as it is located in a property that, due to its building infrastructure and space availability, moves towards other levels of preparation of concrete, semi-solids. Provides opportunities to grow. Pharmaceutical makes non-sterile and sterile.
| “This laboratory has been operating since last year, with the aim of covering and providing attention to all hospital demands, such as in pediatric medicine and neonatology, where there is usually a great need for mixed drugs. Consideration will be given to these therapeutic needs. Because children and adults do not have access to certain drugs, because they are active ingredients that are accessed through the procurement process in the laboratory, but by import the active pharmaceutical ingredient is obtained from drugs. Established in Germany, Canada, China and India, so we make them”, he clarified. |
He added: “In this same laboratory, a work process of chemical substances begins, which contributes to all the suggestions and guidelines being implemented in green hospitals today. In other words, working with these chemical substances.” , but carrying out a complete production and control process that does not harm the environment, from there it was proposed to work in an interdisciplinary manner with the issue of waste management”, he remarked.
| Currently, the priority is to reduce or monitor the health risks that result from the use of chemical substances, promote their adequate reduction and avoid pollution of air, water and soil to care for the environment. |
“Last year managing the influencer they sent us a proposal from the Global Health Without Harm network and we found it very interesting to address this with professional training as well, in my teaching role we always focus on teaching students and future professionals , for everything related to the active pharmaceutical ingredients, from the design of the formulas to the preparation of magistrals and their control, but we never aimed at what medicinal pteracea inertia and inertness is. It basically lacks that potential harm. Medicines that can bring a drug when it is no longer used, expired or is in the same manufacturing process.
