Resumo
In agreement with the Brazilian National Drug Po-
licy, the School of Pharmacy of Universidade Federal
de Goiás, in partnership with the Municipal Health
Department of Goiânia, state of Goiás, created and
implemented a university development project
suggesting the inclusion of the pharmacist in the
Family Health Strategy. Meetings were held in order
to introduce the project to the respective primary
care units and to train the teams of pharmacists in
the exercise of pharmaceutical assistance. In the 12
months of the project, 50 patients with hypertension
(70% female), with average age of 50, were assisted.
Among those, 40 (80%) presented more than one
associated illness and 46 (92%) used 2 or more
drugs, simultaneously prescribed. In the study, 154
Medication-Related Problems (MRP) were detected,
with an incidence of 3.1 MRP per patient. The most
frequent MRP was lack of therapeutic efficacy (49%),
and 26.3% of these were caused by lack of treatment
adherence. It can be concluded that the health care
problems caused by lack of pharmacotherapy effi-
ciency assume important proportions. Pharmaceuti-
cal Care as a strategy of Pharmaceutical Assistance
in Family Health can be an efficient alternative to
obtain better clinical and economic results, and to
improve the healthcare provided for users of Brazil’s
National Health System.
