Abstract:

Therapeutic itineraries represent the paths taken by individuals in an attempt to solve their health problems. The objective of this study was to analyze the path users when needs were not met in a prescriptive drug strategy belonging to the Family Health District Parthenon / Lomba do Pinheiro, the city of Porto Alegre. Starting from a database of users who have not had their needs fully met prescriptive, we performed the application of a questionnaire during home visits. Users interviewed were aged between 53 and 85 years in home visits. The results indicated that the lack of money, physical difficulty in walking, side effects, prescription not readable, lack of medicines in pharmacies district of the city, fear of drug effect, "bureaucracy" of services accessed are the main factors that hinder compliance with the therapeutic itinerary. When the drug is not available at the clinic, most users (60%) reported buying. With respect to the communication of the family health team in the orientation of flows that the user should gain access to the drug, 25% of respondents reported that the team did not provide necessary information about the alternate location for the acquisition of the drug that was missing. Consider the analysis of therapeutic measures in drug users is to think in rational use of medication, completeness, and intersectionality.
