ABSTRACT
Abstract Considering the wide accessibility of population to private community pharmacies, Pharmaceutical Services must be provided comprehensively in such establishments. This research aims to understand how pharmaceutical practice is developed by pharmacists in private community pharmacies of Minas Gerais, Brazil. Qualitative descriptive research was performed. Data were collected through online questionnaires (n=113) and interviews (n=12) with pharmacists working in such institutions and they were analyzed according to Bardin's Content Analysis, with the contribution of software IRAMUTEQ. Two main categories of analysis were formed "Professional training of pharmacists and the working conditions in private community pharmacies" and "Pharmaceutical Services in private community pharmacies of Minas Gerais". Pharmacists understood the population's healthcare as the main purpose of their professional practice. However, the routine focused on the technical management of medicines and the lack of private rooms hindered the provision of qualified assistance. Furthermore, commercial strategies were identified as motivators for ethical dilemmas and conflicts among the work team. It is suggested that the growth of the pharmaceutical retail market in Minas Gerais should be accompanied by favorable conditions for the production of care, so that pharmaceutical practice in these institutions can be developed in an ethical and responsible way.
