Abstract

Viviamo in una società sempre più medicalizzata: consumiamo sempre più farmaci ma non siamo più sani, abbiamo allungato la nostra vita ma non abbiamo migliorato la sua qualità. Nella pill-popping society in cui viviamo, assumere un farmaco sembra essere diventata la cosa più naturale che si possa fare: si ritiene ‘normale’ ad una certa età seguire una o più terapie farmacologiche, non ci si interroga su cosa contengano i farmaci che ingeriamo e non ci si preoccupa dei loro effetti collaterali, che sono infatti nella maggior parte dei casi ignorati o comunque sottovalutati. Da qui il desiderio di realizzare una tesi, a conclusione di un percorso di studi che mi ha profondamente arricchito, che dia un giusto risalto agli effetti collaterali e che indichi le modalità per contrastarli e minimizzarli. La tesi comincia con un’analisi sociologica che evidenzia dapprima le abitudini rispetto al farmaco e successivamente la consapevolezza sugli effetti collaterali. Prosegue evidenziando il ruolo dell’integrazione nutrizionale nel contrastare, o quanto meno ridurre, gli effetti collaterali dei farmaci e analizzando uno ad uno alcune categorie farmacologiche, indicando per ciascuna di esse sia gli effetti collaterali che gli integratori che possono contrastarla. Ho selezionato sia farmaci da prescrizione (pillola, antibiotici, statine, cortisonici) che farmaci disponibili anche in libera vendita (FANS, inibitori di pompa, antistaminici). Ho infine dedicato la chiusura della tesi ad un aspetto troppo spesso trascurato, sia dal paziente che dal medico e dal farmacista, ma che riguarda un’ampissima categoria di farmaci (tra cui tutti quelli analizzati nel presente lavoro), ovvero la fotosensibilità indotta dai farmaci.

In sintesi lungi dal demonizzare il farmaco, utilissimo nella gestione delle fasi acute delle malattie, col presente lavoro vorrei sensibilizzare i lettori sui rischi del suo uso cronico nonché sulle potenzialità, spesso ignorate o misconosciute, di moltissimi integratori nutrizionali che, quando assunti contemporaneamente al farmaco, oltre a potenziarne l’effetto terapeutico - permettendo così una riduzione dei dosaggi! -, possono addirittura proteggere l’organismo dagli effetti collaterali. Il mio auspicio è che il farmaco venga ricollocato nella sua giusta dimensione, come uno strumento di emergenza nelle fasi acute, e che l’integrazione nutrizionale, associata ad un sano stile di vita, diventi il nostro fidato compagno di viaggio nella gestione delle cronicità.
