“…With regard to indicators of service, the mean time of medical appointment was only of 6 minutes. Similar to the results found in Esperança (Paraíba) (7.8 minutes) 5 , Ribeirão Preto (9.2 minutes) 6 and Brasília (9.4 minutes) 13 , this time is below the 15 minutes predicted in Decree 1101 GM/02 21 , which was current at the moment of the performance of this study. This result may have had an impact on the level of users' knowledge of prescriptions, since only a small proportion of patients (18.9%) fully understood their content.…”

“…Some Brazilian studies assessed PS by means of other methodologies [5][6][7][8][9] .

Introduction: Well-planned and executed pharmaceutical services (PS) are important for proper treatment of the population's health needs, thus enabling the access to essential drugs and promoting their rational use. Objective: To assess the situation of PS in the city of Uruguaiana (State of Rio Grande do Sul), Brazil. Methods: This cross-sectional study was applied to 650 interviews between June and September of 2013 in 11 Basic Health Units (UBS) and in the Main Pharmacy of the city. The indicators of prescription, of patient's care, and of service, were assessed according to the recommendations of the World Health Organization (WHO).The Instrument of Self-Assessment for Pharmaceutical Services Planning (IAPAF) from the Brazilian Department of Health was used to assess the management and planning capacity of the PS, which was then applied in the Main Pharmacy and in the medicine stockroom. Results: The number of drugs per prescription varied from 1 to 10 (mean = 1.7). The percentages of prescribed drugs by generic name, and included in the City List of Essential Drugs (REMUME) were, respectively, 75.5 and 67.7%; antibiotics were prescribed in 9.7% of the medical appointments. The average time of medical appointment was 6 minutes; 51.4% of the users obtained their prescription; only 18.9% of the patients completely understood their prescriptions. Of the 24 items analyzed in the IAPAF, 12 were found in stage 1 (worst rating), 12 in stage 2, and none in stage 3 (ideal situation). Conclusion: Results seem to show the lack of PS in Uruguaiana with regard to planning, management, and patient's care. The absence of effective management may result in waste and incorrect use of drugs.

“…Mean values obtained in studies conducted in PHC services in other Brazilian municipalities were much lower those reported in the present study, ranging from 1.8 to 2.5 medications 22,[25][26][27][28] ; therefore, a trend towards polypharmacy was found in PHC services in Ribeirão Preto. This is a concerning finding, because polypharmacy may increase drug therapy complexity and create a barrier to treatment adherence 6,27 . It should also be noted that 33.3% of our study participants received polypharmacy.…”

Introduction: Pharmacotherapy is the main therapeutic resource for the management of diseases. However, the number of drugs prescribed, dose frequency, and mode of administration can make the treatment more complex and influence treatment outcomes. The aim of this study was to measure the complexity of prescribed medication regimens in primary health care (PHC) services in Ribeirão Preto, Brazil.
