Abstract

The present study aims to analyze the Clinical Protocol and Therapeutic Guidelines of Asthma made available by the Brazilian Ministry of Health, which supports the decision of the professional and the patient about the most appropriate medical care in relation to preventive, diagnostic or therapeutic measures directed to a given Health or clinical situation. The need to perform this process is due to the arrival of new technologies daily and new diagnostic concepts that appear in the literature through new studies in various parts of the world. A review of the concepts about the pathophysiology of Asthma and its treatment was carried out. The inclusion and exclusion criteria adopted by the protocol were evaluated to demonstrate if they are within the reality required by the Unified Health System (SUS). The Therapeutic Relevance of the medicines made available in the protocol was reviewed through new scientific articles. The stages of the production of a protocol by the National Commission for the Incorporation of Technologies in the SUS were described. In the analyzes carried out on the Protocol, two critical aspects of the protocol were identified for exclusion criteria for smokers and inclusion for children above five years of age. It was observed that the drugs indicated in the protocol are in agreement with the technical recommendations, which proves its therapeutic relevance. Keywords: Protocol, Asthma, Pharmaceutical Care.
