Abstract
El insomnio constituye el trastorno de sueño más frecuente afectando hasta un 20-30 % de la población general; los fármacos de síntesis, principalmente BZD, son los más utilizados. Dichos medicamentos presentan numerosos efectos secundarios, tales como dependencia, tolerancia, y modificación de la arquitectura del sueño. El objetivo de este trabajo es realizar una revisión bibliográfica de las principales PM empleadas en el tratamiento de trastornos menores del sueño como alternativa a los fármacos de síntesis y conocer los principales productos fitoterapéuticos que se emplean en la OF para combatir el insomnio. Se han descrito la composición, mecanismo de acción, posología, efectos adversos, contraindicaciones e interacciones de las mismas. Tras dicha revisión se ha visto que el tratamiento fitoterapéutico es útil para combatir trastornos leves-moderados del sueño presentando menos efectos adversos y de menor importancia clínica que los fármacos de síntesis. No obstante, las PM no están exentas de producir interacciones con otros fármacos, por lo que se debe tener en cuenta la medicación que toma el paciente a la hora de recomendar su utillización. La PM más solicitada en la OF es la valeriana quedando a criterio del farmacéutico la recomendación de otras preparaciones que contengan varias plantas.
