Avaliação farmacoeconômica de medicamentos antimicrobianos no complexo hospitalar Clementino Fraga.

Abstract

Within the present world situ ation, a major concern in rational drug use (RDU) is on the use of antimicrobials. Excessive consumption involves damage to the health of the patient and substantial expenditures to public health management. The intense concern about the lack of studies on antibiotics, the consequences of the indiscriminate use of these and the high value that represent hospital costs, justify the need to study. The research aimed to conduct a pharmacoeconomic evaluation of antimicrobial drugs in the Clementino Fraga (CHCF) Hospital Complex. So, we searched through a theoretical framework, conceptual foundations associated with the topic. The study was characterized as qualitative and quantitative, as well as understood the documentary analysis of economic and financial info rmation about the Hospital focus of the study. The identified results showed the impact that antimicrobial cause the total costs of the Hospital Clementino Fraga, pharmacoeconomics being a fundamental tool and can be used as an indicator for the rational u se of medicines. Therefore, this research opens up reflection for the lack of more effective management of these costs and the negative factors from non - rational use of resources, especially the class of antimicrobials, suggesting an adequate selection of medicines, seeking to ensure the safety, efficacy and quality with a lower cost, the importance of viability of pharmacoeconomic studies and future studies in other perspectives, the creation of government policies more effective, greater integration betwe en health professionals, and the adoption of a program of inventory control
