Medicamentos psicotrópicos dispensação na Farmácia Universitária

Abstract

The increase of psychotropic drugs use has been occurring worldwide, becoming a global public health problem. The widespread of the population medicalization leads to social and economic consequences, and increasing the number of problems related to medicines. Thus, this study aimed to make a literature review on the psychotropics, dispensed at the Federal University of Sergipe University Pharmacy, located in the Basic Health Unit of the Rosa Elze neighborhood, São Cristóvão, in order to identify the prescribed drugs , its indications, pharmacological actions and possible drug interactions, correlating with its indications. Some of the drugs prescribed and dispensed at the Basic Health Unit are not considered essential, as they are not on the RENAME list. Even though it was not possible to survey the data, due to the Covid-19 pandemic, it was possible to associate the drugs dispensed at the University Pharmacy with the most common mental disorders. More in-depth studies are needed to ascertain the quantity of drugs dispensed, whether these are prescribed according to the disorder or off label use.
