The prescription of drugs by pharmacists has been the subject of recent discussion, raising questions about what types of medicines can be prescribed by these professionals. Cinthia Rios, member of the Pharmacy Pharmacy Commission of Pharmacy (CFF), clarified in an interview with CNN Brazil that black stripe medicines will not be included in this new assignment.
Rivers emphasized, “The ‘black stripe’, for example, these will not be in the list of drugs that can be pharmaceutical prescription.” In addition to these, she mentioned that medicines sold with yellow or blue notification, as well as those classified for restricted use in hospital environments, will not be part of the list of drugs that pharmacists can prescribe.
Process based on solid legal structure
The expert stressed that the whole process is being built based on a well -structured legal framework and with great responsibility. “Pharmacists have medication expertise and the Federal Pharmacy Council has the autonomy to introduce a dynamic process that accompanies the needs of the country’s population,” explained Rios.
The initiative aims to relieve overload in public health care, especially for cases of low complexity. According to Rios, this will allow people with less serious symptoms to receive care in the pharmacy, by a qualified professional for pharmaceutical prescription.
This measure aims to reorganize the health process, offering more appropriate and efficient assistance. Rivers argued that this can help release resources to meet more urgent cases, noting that “unfortunately there are still Brazilians who die in lines needing assistance.”
The new attribution of pharmacists represents a significant step in the search for solutions to improve population access to health care, while maintaining important safeguards for drugs that require more rigorous control.
