Abstract

Cardiovascular diseases, especially hypertension, entail high social-medical costs, especially among the elderly. Older people commonly use high number of medications, which predisposes to increased risk of pharmacotherapeutic problems. Pharmaceutical care is a practice that increases the efficiency and safety of hypertension treatment, with the aim to improve the quality of life of patients.The study evaluated the impact of pharmaceutical care pratice in the optimization of therapeutic results in 14 hypertensive patients in a private community pharmacy Barra de Santa Rosa - PB. In the process, was used a method developed by Dader. Among the data, we identified an average 1.3 negative outcomes associated with medication (MRI) per user, with the highest prevalence of MRI was the quantitative ineffectiveness (56.7%). Forgetting dosage (33.3%), using disinformation rises (22.2%) and difficulty of access (22.2%) were the most frequently observed PRM. On average, pharmaceutical interventions were performed 1.6 (PI) per user, highlighting the PI associated with education about the medication (54.7%) and the collaboration with the prescriber changes in treatment regimen (36.3%). After pharmaceutical interventions, there was a reduction in blood pressure values after the fifth visite, as well as a decrease in the average MRI (0.4 per user). The study shows the importance and necessity of pharmaceutical care pratice in drugs users, leading to improved clinical outcomes in the hypertension treatment.
