Pharmaceutical Care in Probiotics and Immune Stimulation in a Pharmacy Located in Salamanca from September to January 2020

Abstract

The immune system and the microbiota are the body’s first line of defence against pathogens, so their proper functioning is essential for our health. The microbiota is the set of numerous microorganisms that reside in our body, and when it is altered, various pathologies can develop. Therefore, probiotics, prebiotics and synbiotics play a very important role as a preventive or adjuvant treatment, helping to rebalance our microbiota, as well as having a significant immunomodulatory effect. When recommending or consuming a probiotic product, we must take into account the strain and dose for each patology to be treated, otherwise the efficacy may not be as expected. The aim of this study is to test the knowledge and use of probiotics in the population of a community pharmacy, to verify their efficacy and to detect possible adverse effects, as well as to promote health education by the pharmacist.
