ANTI-HYPERTENSION DRUGS: ACTION IN THE ORGANISM AND ENVIRONMENTAL CONTAMINATION
Journal Title: Periódico Tchê Química - Year 2018, Vol 15, Issue 30
Abstract
Systemic Arterial Hypertension is an ascending pathology that is being treated more and more through antihypertensive drugs. The most commonly used are: Enalapril, Captopril, Losartan, Propranolol, Atenolol, and in addition, Furosemide and Hydrochlorothiazide are prescribed and are used as a secondary medicine. The abusive use may lead to contamination of water resources due to urine excretion and improper disposal of these drugs after the expiration date. In addition to environmental awareness at the time of inadequate disposal, the main problem is in sewage treatment plants that do not have the necessary resources to control contamination, and many drugs are not yet identifiable by current methods. Some studies have already confirmed this contamination, but research is recent.
