CAJADE-PASCUAL, F et al. The Hospital Pharmacy in nuclear emergency situations. Rev. OFIL·ILAPHAR [online]. 2023, vol.33, n.3, pp.291-299.  Epub 28-Feb-2024. ISSN 1699-714X.  https://dx.doi.org/10.4321/s1699-714x2023000300013.

In the current war context and given the growing concern of the population in a possible nuclear event, a bibliographic review such as the current one is important, in which the present and potential treatments that the Hospital Pharmacy should have available both to palliate and to prevent possible damage from radiation. This review includes the 6 marketed drugs and 4 compounding drugs that should form part of an emergency stock in nearby places threatened by exposure to radionuclides of iodine, cesium, thallium, gallium, polonium, technetium and uranium. On the other hand, we describe 9 natural compounds that, due to their antioxidant, anti-inflammatory and/or metal-chelating potential properties, could be used as radioprotectors in this type of event, most of them being available as active pharmaceutical ingredients and their elaboration being therefore valuable as compounded drugs.

Palabras clave : Radioactivity; radioprotection; compounding; Hospital Pharmacy.
