Quase meio milhão de espanhóis usaram medicamentos públicos para parar de fumar

Um relatório do Conselho Geral dos Colégios Farmacêuticos mostra que quase 500.000 pessoas utilizaram medicamentos financiados pelo governo na Espanha no ano passado. A citisiniclina foi a opção mais utilizada, correspondendo a cerca de 450.000 tratamentos.

O estudo foi apresentado nesta sexta-feira no Ministério da Saúde. O documento aponta que o financiamento público impulsiona as tentativas de parar de fumar, uma vez que a escassez de medicamentos também reduz os pedidos de tratamento.

Cerca de oito milhões de pessoas fumam diariamente na Espanha. Quase metade tentou parar no ano passado, porém apenas 6,2 por cento utilizaram medicamentos com suporte científico. Três medicamentos são financiados: bupropiona e vareniclina desde 2020, e citisiniclina desde 2023.

Jesús Aguilar, presidente do Conselho, afirmou que a intervenção do farmacêutico dobra as chances de sucesso. A ministra Mónica García acrescentou que o financiamento funciona, mas que ainda há espaço para melhorar o apoio àqueles que desejam parar.
