Resumo
This article focuses on the analysis of prescriptions for
the treatment of breast cancer in patients followed up
in a university hospital in the state of São Paulo. The
study analyzed 408 prescriptions between September
and December 2012, with 201 in Chemotherapy
Center and 207 in Chemotherapy Pharmacy in this
teaching hospital. The main results were: (a) from
201 prescriptions analyzed in Chemotherapy Center,
only 123 (61.2%) had weight, 89 (44.3%) height and
113 (56.2%) of the body surface patient; (b) 100% of
prescriptions in Chemotherapy Center and 48.3% in
the Chemotherapy Pharmacy showed abbreviations;
(c) the trade name of the drug was present in 54.7% of
prescriptions in Chemotherapy Center; (d) high rates
of absence of information about the pharmaceutical
form of the drug; (e) 05 (1.2%) prescriptions with
illegible name of the patient and 04 (1%) prescriptions
with illegible name of the drug. Data analysis shows the
absence of complete information necessary for the safe
use of anticancer drugs, if not evidencing compliance
with current legislation. Thus, we highlight the
importance of continuous training of physicians about
the importance of a clear and complete prescription,
as well as greater participation of clinical pharmacists and suggest also the implementation of the electronic
prescription. These actions can improve the quality of
prescriptions and promote the safe and rational use of
medicines.
