Abstract:

According to the National Pharmaceutical Services Policy, the Specialized Component of Pharmaceutical Services (CEAF) aims to guarantee dispensing of high-cost medicines for the treatment of specific diseases that burden a limited number of patients. In spite of public financing channels for these medicines, the fact that access warrants demand through legal injunctions suggests flaws in the management of pharmaceutical services. This paper analized adherence to Clinical Protocols and Therapeutic Guidelines (PCDT) in the dispensing of these medicines in dissimilar out-patient pharmacy facilities in the State of Rio de Janeiro. Lack of adequate structure, including trained personnel, compromises CEAF medicines dispensing in all facilities. The CEAF dispensing procedure, heavily dependent on interaction between prescribers and dispensers, is not carried out as would be expected. Inadequate performance is also linked to flaws in planning and in organization of services. The results indicate barriers in adherence to PCDT by health professionals, burdening health system users and possibly leading them to access medicines judicially. Characteristics of the investigated facilities may show similarities with others in Brazil, and identified barriers may be the same, compromising healthcare.
