Uso abusivo de Benzodiazepínicos na equipe Verde de Saúde da Família Nova Vista em Sabará

Abstract

Benzodiazepines are medicines that can cause a variety of health risks if not prescribed correctly. This study aimed to elaborate an intervention plan for the reduction of the indiscriminate use of benzodiazepines in the scope of the ESF Nova Vista - Green team of the Municipality of Sabará. A narrative review of the literature was carried out, covering the epidemiology and behavioral characterization of continuous users of controlled drugs, as well as the elaboration of situational strategic planning. Online databases were used, with a search conducted from October 2017 to February 2018, seeking to cover negative consequences of abusive use, dependence and pharmacoepidemiology of self-medication of benzodiazepines. These drugs are among the most prescribed drugs in the world. They are used as anxiolytics and hypnotics, as well as having antiretroviral and antiretroviral drugs. These drugs are known to promote high rates of dependence, which leads, respectively, to the increase in the dose required for the same therapeutic effect and has been a major social problem. It is concluded that both patients and physicians recognize that BZDs are among the drugs most difficult to interrupt, and insufficient information on the deleterious consequences of the misuse of this class of drugs together with other factors discussed in this work are fundamental for the perpetuation of this process .
