ABSTRACT

O objetivo do estudo foi determinar a prevalência da farmácia caseira, conhecer os medicamentos que a compõem, os locais destinados ao armazenamento e descarte. Realizou-se estudo transversal junto a famílias do bairro Luiz Fogliatto, Ijuí, RS, cadastradas na Unidade Básica de Saúde deste bairro. As entrevistas foram realizadas nos domicílios de junho a agosto de 2008. Dentre 640 famílias, foram visitadas 321, das quais 91,59% possuíam medicamentos em casa. Encontraram-se 1.234 medicamentos, com predomínio dos atuantes no sistema nervoso (27,28%). A cozinha foi o principal local de armazenamento. Foram encontrados medicamentos vencidos em 17 residências, predominando o descarte no lixo (56,87%). Não foi encontrada legislação que regulamente o descarte de medicamentos em nível domiciliar. O conhecimento quanto ao tema abordado ainda é restrito e impede sua adequada organização em nível domiciliar. O farmacêutico deve orientar quanto ao armazenamento e descarte, capacitando os Agentes Comunitários de Saúde, visando evitar a exposição da população a riscos, assim como a contaminação do meio ambiente.


The aim of this study was to determine the prevalence of household stocks of medicine, to know which medicines are stocked in the home and the places where they are stored and discarded. A cross-sectional survey was conducted with families from the Luiz Fogliatto neighborhood of Ijuí city (RS), registered at the neighborhood Health Service clinic. The interviews were carried out at home in June to August, 2008. There are 640 families in the neighborhood and 321 were visited, of which 91.59% had some medicines at home. In all, 1234 medicines were found, mostly those that act on the nervous system (27.28%). The kitchen was the main place used to store medicines. Expired medicines were found in 17 residences, and the main disposal route was in the common garbage (56.87%). No legislation was found that regulates the disposal of household medicines. Knowledge on storage and disposal of medicines is restricted and does not suffice for its proper organization at home. The pharmacist should educate the patient about storage and disposal and capacitate Community Health Agents, in order to avoid exposure of the public to risks, as well as contamination of the environment.
