“…This finding, although not ideal since legal recommendations are for 100% generic names in prescriptions within the primary health care facilities, is higher than the level observed in other Brazilian studies (Santos, Nitrini, 2004;Naves, Silver, 2005;Girotto, Silva, 2006), except those conducted by the Pan American Health Organization/World Health Organization (PAHO/WHO) (Brasil, 2005) and by Farias et al (2007). The proportion of antibiotics per prescription in the Taquari Valley (11.9%) was lower than the WHO limit rate and lower than results found in other studies (Santos, Nitrini, 2004;Brazil, 2005;Naves, Silver, 2005;Girotto, Silva, 2006;Farias et al, 2007), with the exception of research performed in Blumenau, Santa Catarina, by Colombo et al (2004). In their study, the percentage corresponded to 12.5%, a similar score to that observed in the Taquari Valley.…”

Pharmaceutical assistance concerns actions developed by the pharmacist and other professionals with the purpose of promoting, protecting and restoring health. Medications are an essential tool in this process that focuses on the access to, and the rational use of, drugs. This study is aimed at evaluating the Pharmaceutical Assistance provided by Municipal Health Offices in the Taquari Valley, Rio Grande do Sul. For this purpose, 2,794 users of public pharmacies were interviewed and data was analyzed using descriptive statistics. The users of the public pharmacies were mainly female and individuals with low educational level and income. On average, 2.41 drugs were prescribed per medical prescription and 1.72 of these were procured. Out of the total medicines prescribed, 76.5% were listed in the municipal standard drug list (SDL). Medication was prescribed by its generic name in 81.8% of the prescriptions. Antibiotics and injections were prescribed in 11.9% and 4.0% of the prescriptions, respectively. Users' access to information is partial, which can impair adherence to the treatment. Thus, it is possible to conclude that review of the service is necessary for it to be effective.Uniterms: Pharmaceutical assistance. Unified Health System. Medicines/rational use.

Free access to hypertension and diabetes medicines among the elderly: a reality yet to be constructed

et al. 2010

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

The study evaluated free access to hypertension and diabetes medicines and the reasons reported for lack of access. The sample included 4,003 elderly people living in Primary Care Unit coverage areas from 41 Southern and Northeastern Brazilian cities. Free access was higher in the Northeast (62.4%). The strategy of the Family Health Program (Programa Saúde da Família - PSF) was more effective in providing access than the traditional model, with higher results in the Northeast (61.2%) than in the South (39.6%). Around 20% of medicines included in the Hypertension and Diabetes Program and 26% of those included in the National Essential Medicines List (RENAME) were paid out of pocket. In the Northeast, 25% of insulin and 32% of oral antidiabetics were paid out of pocket. Unavailability in the public sector and a lack of money determined the lack of access. Although the PSF, Hypertension and Diabetes Program and RENAME expanded free access, supplies were insufficient. A greater connection between programs and a clear definition of responsibilities can improve medicine acquisition process, increasing the effectiveness of pharmaceutical assistance.
