O objetivo deste estudo foi avaliar o estoque domiciliar de medicamentos em comunidades atendidas pela Estratégia de Saúde da família (ESF) em município de médio porte localizado no Sul do Brasil. Foram amostrados 10% dos domicílios de cinco ESF. Os dados foram coletados por Agentes Comunitários de Saúde (ACS) através de questionário adaptado de Fernandes (2000). A idade média dos entrevistados foi de 42 anos e dos moradores foi de 16 anos, destes 51% eram mulheres. Foi observada renda de 1 a 3 salários mínimos (69,1%), e escolaridade de 0 a 4 anos de estudo (42%). Dos domicílios visitados, 98,7% apresentavam pelo menos um medicamento estocado. Dos 533 lugares de guarda averiguados, 43,5% era exposto ao calor, 39,6% a umidade, 16,5% a luz. Em 37,3% das residências havia crianças residindo no domicílio e o estoque estava ao alcance das mesmas. Dos 2.717 medicamentos encontrados, 6,9% estavam vencidos e 2,6% não apresentavam informação sobre a data de validade. Os fármacos analgésicos foram os mais prevalentes no estoque (21%). Nossos resultados nos levam a concluir que há necessidade de equipe multiprofissional para a promoção de saúde e racionalização dos estoques domiciliares de medicamentos, sendo que o ACS é um profissional indispensável para a promoção do uso racional de medicamentos.
