ABSTRACT

The morbidity and mortality related to drugs is a major public health problem. Responsibility for the responsible provision of drug therapy in order to achieve defined results that improve the quality of life of patients, is constituted in a follow-Pharmaceutical care practice. In this sense the healthcare professional or prescriber should not have a legal view, political, ethical and scientific that the practice of pharmaceutical care can reduce preventable problems related to pharmacotherapy. The researcher, following the CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY should objectively, in the pedagogical and ethical level to discuss the importance of pharmaceutical care as players of the rational use of medicines. The scientific production is characterized by its growing volume and rapid accumulation, hindering their integration into professional practice in view of the need of professionals to critically analyze the reliability of information in a timely manner. Thus, we must develop the ability to locate and access information with updated evidence, in a fast, practical and reliable. The therapeutic success in treating diseases depends on foundations so that the choice of treatment, drug and / or non-medicated, the selection of scientific and rational drug considering its effectiveness, safety and cost, as well as the appropriate prescription, availability timely, the dispensation under appropriate conditions and the use by the user appropriately. Thus, clinical decisions and the relationships established between professionals and users are essential to the therapeutic effectiveness. This monograph developed over training "in question" objective: technically Enhance Health professionals, empowering them as social role in guiding the rational use of medicines in the prevention, diagnosis and treatment of conditions in order to ensure greater therapeutic efficacy with minimal risk to the patient, by deepening in Clinical Pharmacology. Finally: "If you want to start tomorrow to change the practice and implement the evidence, prepare well: involve the relevant public; develop a proposed change that is evidence-based, feasible and attractive; study the main difficulties for successful change and select a set of strategies and measures on different levels connected to the problem; undoubtedly work within their resources and capabilities. Define measure of success indicators and monitor the progress continuously or at regular intervals. Finally, be satisfied with a job that leads to more effective care, efficient, safe and friendly for their patients. "Grol R. and J. Grimshaw
