Abstract:

The use of analgesic, antipyretic and anti-inflammatory steroids for children often do not have the approval of regulatory agencies, or support of scientific evidence. Pediatric prescriptions can be influenced by factors that do not promote the rational use of drugs in this class. The objective of this study was to evaluate the use of analgesic, antipyretic and anti-inflammatory steroids in children, considering the public (SUS) and private (N-SUS). The sample consisted of 150 prescriptions (101 SUS and 49 N-SUS) followed by interview for caregivers in eighteen locations (nine drugstores and nine private health units SUS). The drugs were prescribed appropriately, by age group, only 21.8% (SUS) and 29.6% (N-SUS) prescriptions. Over 95% of prescription, regardless of source, did not meet the criteria for evaluation of the rational use, with dose errors, frequency and duration of treatment. The analysis of prescriptions for analgesics, antipyretics and anti-inflammatory steroids for children showed no significant differences in public and private sectors
