ABSTRACT

Introdução: A incidência de Diabetes Melito atinge proporções epidêmicas fazendo com que sua prevenção seja uma prioridade de saúde pública. Programas de Atenção Farmacêutica vêm se destacando como instrumentos no cuidado dos pacientes diabéticos. Objetivo: Avaliar o uso de hipoglicemiantes e a adesão à terapia por pacientes diabéticos atendidos pelo Sistema Único de Saúde. Métodos: Foi realizado um estudo transversal. Utilizou-se um questionário farmacoterapêutico e avaliaram-se os valores de glicemia capilar, colesterol, triglicerídeos, hemoglobina glicada, pressão arterial e índice de massa corporal. Foi avaliada a existência dos Problemas Relacionados com Medicamentos. Resultados: Foram entrevistados 52 pacientes diabéticos, com idade média de 69,2±10,8 anos para as mulheres e 67,8 ±10,9 anos para os homens. Os valores de hemoglobina glicada mostraram diferença significativa (P<0,001) entre os sexos e o índice de massa corporal mostrou-se acima dos valores normais. Verificou-se que 51,9% dos pacientes utilizava mais de 5 medicamentos e 48,1% eram pouco aderentes à terapia. Encontrou-se 21 potenciais interações medicamentosas. Conclusão: Este estudo mostra a relevância do acompanhamento farmacoterapêutico à pacientes diabéticos e a importância do comprometimento de toda a equipe de saúde para desenvolver e acompanhar o plano terapêutico desses pacientes.


Background: The incidence of diabetes mellitus has reached epidemic proportions; therefore, its prevention is a public health priority in our days. Pharmaceutical care programs have gained prominence as a tool in the care of diabetic patients. Aim: To evaluate the use of hypoglycemic agents as well as the adherence to therapy by diabetic patients receiving treatment from the Brazilian Unified Health System. Methods: We conducted a cross-sectional study. A pharmacotherapeutic questionnaire was administered and values of capillary blood glucose, cholesterol, triglycerides, glycated hemoglobin, blood pressure, and body mass index were assessed. We evaluated the existence of drug related problems and drug interactions. Results: Fifty-two diabetic patients were interviewed with a mean age of 69.2±10.8 for women and 67.8±10.9 for men. Glycated hemoglobin levels showed significant difference (P<0.001) between men and women, body mass index was found to be above normal. The analysis of the drugs showed that 51.9% of the patients used more than five drugs and 48.1% of the patients were poorly adherent to therapy. We found 21 potential drug interactions. Conclusion: The present study demonstrates the relevance of the pharmaceutical follow-up of patients with diabetes; thus, the commitment of the entire health care team to develop and monitor the treatment of these patients is very important.
