A importância da assistência farmacêutica nas equipes de saúde da família sob ótica do enfermeiro

Abstract

With the creation of the Unified Health System (SUS) in Brazil, the focus of national health policy has been the primary care. One strategy was created by SUS Health Program (PSF), with performance of general practitioners, focusing on the family approach in all life cycles. Seeking to ensure a safe and rational pharmacotherapy, the pharmaceutical care (AF) was gradually being decentralized and placed in teams, but without the necessary structure and regulation. It is noticed that the pharmacist has acted only at the central level, being often at the expense of nursing in the nurse, you are responsible for everything that refers to medicine in the health units. The study this is a review of the literature about the narrative. From it, we conclude that the expansion of AF is a major challenge for the public system. With decentralization, access to medicine has been facilitated, but there is a large gap between the actual legal AF. The operational capacity of the municipalities regarding the process of decentralization of AF is limited, given the costly investments necessary to properly dispensing points, where today, many work in total failure.
