Abstract

With the objective of standardizing antihypertensive drugs in FEN-UEM, the acquisition and consumption of these drugs were analyzed. The data were collected starting from the invoices of purchase of the pharmaceutical antihypertensives specialties (EAH) for the referred pharmacy. The study was carried out in the period of January 1st, 1990 trough December 31st 1994. The amount of acquired EAH, active substance and pharmacological class were analyzed. The FEN-UEM acquired 4,751 EAH in this period. There was increased in the acquisition of angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors (63,6%) and reduction for diuretics (54,2%), beta-blockers (36,3%), alpha central agonists (64,3%) and associations (28,2%). The acquisition of calcium antagonists was constant in this period. The data suggest that the acquisition and distribution of these medications are correlated with the current therapeutics, allowing to evaluate the profile of antihypertensive drugs in FEN-UEM and to standardize the EAH to be distributed by the pharmacies.
