Abstract

MELGAREJO LOPEZ, Nelson; ALVAREZ BUSTAMANTE, Guadalupe  and  ALONSO ABAD, Antonio. Practical guide for phytotherapeutic prescription in primary health care level. Rev Cubana Med Gen Integr [online]. 2004, vol.20, n.2. ISSN 0864-2125.

The "Practical Guide for phytotherapeutic prescription in primary health care was drawn up and takes into account the need of ensuring an adequate prescription of phytopharmaceuticals at this level of care. It was prepared taking as a basis the existing relations between the experimentally-assessed pharmacological actions and the pharmaceutical forms of medicinal plants approved by MINSAP. This relation was set by using double entry tables and using the condensed system, which allows a rapid definition of the prescription and similarly, ways of administration, posology, counterindications and warnings. Additional data on medicinal plants and their active principles are given to the physician so that he/she can have comprehensive knowledge of the phytopharmaceuticals derived from those plants.

Keywords : Phytotherapeutic prescription; primary health care.
