Resumo
A bula de medicamentos é um mecanismo utilizado mundialmente, auxiliando nas dúvidas dos usuários. O objetivo desta pesquisa foi analisar o uso da bula como fonte de informações sobre medicamentos para usuários. Este estudo de caráter transversal foi realizado no município de Anta Gorda/RS, no período de setembro a outubro de 2018. Foram entrevistados, com auxílio de um questionário estruturado, 70 usuários da farmácia da unidade básica de saúde do município, a faixa etária variou entre 18 e 84 anos, predominando mulheres. 52 usuários afirmaram buscar informações sobre medicamentos, empregando para isso principalmente a bula e internet. A maioria dos entrevistados (n=62) considera importante a leitura da bula, porém também consideram difícil essa atividade, devido aos termos técnicos e ao tamanho da fonte. Apesar disso, 51 entrevistados possuem o hábito de ler a bula e relataram conseguir sanar suas dúvidas. A partir desse estudo, conclui-se que a bula se apresenta como uma fonte de informações sobre medicamentos para a população. Entretanto, apesar de alterações realizadas na legislação vigente a fim de facilitar o entendimento das informações contidas nesse informativo, vislumbram-se dificuldades por parte dos leitores, como o tamanho da fonte, a presença de numerosos termos técnicos e sua extensão. Além disso, é importante que o profissional farmacêutico assuma seu papel como profissional da saúde a fim de ser reconhecido e consultado quando surgirem dúvidas em relação ao uso de medicamentos.
