PHARMACEUTICAL CARE IN BASIC HEALTHCARE

Abstract

Pharmaceutical practice has been transformed in Brazil and, due to the country's public health policies, requires improvements to ensure the integrity of actions. Pharmaceutical Care proposes that the pharmaceutical professional acts by identifying, intervening and preventing Medication-Related Problems (DRP), through actions that promote rational use. This work has the general objective of reporting how the pharmacist works in basic health through pharmaceutical care. The literature review methodology was used based on the years 2020 to 2023. It concludes that despite the barriers faced by the pharmaceutical professional, their performance in front of the health team is of utmost importance, as the pharmacist has scientific technical knowledge when it comes to respect for Pharmaceutical Care, thus promoting effective and quality assistance. However, it is important that the professional is included to carry out the actions inherent to their training, aiming at successful pharmacotherapy for users.
