Atenção farmacêutica e acompanhamento farmacoterapêutico aplicando Método Dáder no Programa de Combate ao Tabagismo

Abstract

The use of tobacco is considered a chronic disease and its dependence is related to nicotine, which is one of the several toxic substances found in cigarettes. The use of tobacco causes physical, emotional and conduct disorders, it is also associated with several diseases. The treatment for smoking can be done free of charge by the Unified Health System (SUS) and for that, some medications are made available by the Ministry of Health in order to minimize nicotine withdrawal symptoms. Even with all the resources available to the smoking population, in relation to treatment, there is a considerable number of dropouts and relapses. At the Basic Health Unit located in the metropolitan region of the state of São Paulo, dropouts are observed in the program to combat smoking by users. It is seen that there is a need to create a viable alternative in the treatment of smoking, as well as the application of different techniques that encourage smokers to abstain from smoking. Therefore, the general objective of this work is the pharmaceutical intervention in smoking cessation with the implementation of pharmacotherapeutic monitoring by the Dáder Method. This work is expected to show the importance of the active participation of the pharmacist in assisting the smoker in the conclusion of the program by the user and the decrease in the number of relapses. The present project is an intervention proposal, anchored in a bibliographic search.
