Resumen
La hipertensión arterial constituye un trastorno grave que genera el incremento del riesgo de padecer nefropatías, y cardiopatías significativas, estableciéndose como un problema de salud pública a nivel mundial, incluyendo además el consumo desmesurado de los medicamentos para el tratamiento de esta patología. El presente estudio se realizó con el objetivo de determinar el consumo de los medicamentos antihipertensivos en un hospital básico; acción que se llevó a cabo mediante un enfoque cuantitativo, modalidad básica y descriptiva, de tipo no experimental, transversal y correlacional. La unidad de análisis contempló un total de 4,240 casos, de los cuales, 2,126 emplearon Losartán sólido oral 50mg, 1,494
Amlodipino sólido oral 5mg y 620 el Enalapril sólido oral 10mg. Los hombres fueron los mayores consumidores de los medicamentos antihipertensivos con el 63%, mientras que el grupo etario dominante se estipuló en las personas de 65-74 años (30.5%). El medicamento más consumido fue el Losartán sólido oral 50mg (43.8%) con un total de 103,558 unidades, por parte de las mujeres entre 65-74 años. Cabe destacar que, la ingesta de todos los medicamentos se ubicó entre 50-100 unidades; se identificó una relación entre el consumo de los medicamentos con la edad, por lo que se concluye que, a mayor edad, resulta necesario emplear estos fármacos para el manejo de la hipertensión arterial.
Hypertension constitutes a severe disorder that generates an increased risk of suffering from significant nephropathy, nephropathy, and heart disease, establishing itself as a public health problem worldwide, including the excessive consumption of drugs to treat this pathology. The present study was carried out to determine the consumption of antihypertensive drugs in a primary hospital. This action was carried out through a quantitative approach, a basic and descriptive modality, of a non-experimental, cross-sectional, and correlational type. The analysis unit included a total of 4,240 cases, of which 2,126 used oral solid Losartan 50mg, 1,494 oral solid Amlodipine 5mg, and 620 oral solid Enalapril 10mg. Men were the largest consumers of antihypertensive drugs with 63%, while the dominant age group was stipulated in people aged 65-74 years (30.5%). The most consumed drug was oral solid Losartan 50mg (43.8%) with 103,558 units by women between 65 and 74. It should be noted that the intake of all medications was between 50- 100 units; A relationship was identified between the consumption of drugs with age, which is why it is concluded that, at an older age, it is necessary to use these drugs for the management of arterial hypertension.
