Athletes in the Caribbean depend heavily on their medical personnel to advise on the correct use of medications for their illnesses. Doctors, pharmacists and paramedical personnel that accompany or treat athletes must be knowledgeable of which commonly prescribed substances are banned in sport in order to correctly advise and treat the athletes under their care. The objective is to review the classes of banned substances, using common examples of medications, as defined by the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) in a simplistic manner in order to allow treating medical personnel to prescribe medications to athletes with the confidence of not violating doping regulations. The concept of Therapeutic Use Exemption (TUE) is introduced. Upper respiratory tract infections and asthma are discussed as they are both common in athletes. The use of corticosteroids and nutritional supplements are also discussed.
加勒比地区的运动员在很大程度上依赖其医疗人员就疾病用药的正确使用提供建议。陪同或治疗运动员的医生、药剂师和辅助医疗人员必须了解哪些常用处方药在体育赛事中被禁用，以便正确地为他们所护理的运动员提供建议和治疗。目的是以简单的方式回顾世界反兴奋剂机构（WADA）定义的禁用物质类别，并列举常用药物示例，以便治疗医疗人员在为运动员开处方时能够放心，不会违反反兴奋剂规定。文中还介绍了治疗用药豁免（TUE）的概念。鉴于上呼吸道感染和哮喘在运动员中都很常见，文中对此进行了讨论。此外，还讨论了皮质类固醇和营养补充剂的使用。
