IntroductionThe Disposición ANMAT 753/2012 states definitions and guidelines about the information that inserts and labels must include in nonprescription drugs (also known as over-the-counter or OTC drugs).Aims: to analyze the adequacy to the norm in a sample of OTC drugs; promote and disseminate strategic viable actions for being developed by pharmacists to improve the patient’s information.MethodsDuring a course destined to community pharmacists, a practical activity and an on-line forum about the adequacy to the Disposición ANMAT 753/2012 were developed. The compliance of 17 requirements of the norm, in a sample of 66 OTC drugs, was registered. Forum duration: 2 weeks. A content analysis related to the strategies proposed by the participants was conducted.ResultsFrom the sample, 87.9% of the medicines do not accomplish to at least 1 of the requirements. The major noncompliances were: inappropriately described composition, lack of telephone number for consultations, uncomprehensible therapeutic action, and package requirements. Strategies to develop by pharmacies individually, grouped, or through professional associations were formulated.ConclusionA high level of noncompliance in the analyzed aspects of the norm was observed. The strategies proposed are oriented to patient empowerment by health education about OTC drugs and access to reliable information resources, comprehensible for consumers. It is necessary to reinforce the control procedures for the information the OTC drugs must include, and to encourage both the participation and commitment of the pharmacist. |

Introducción:La Disposición ANMAT 753/2012: establece definiciones y lineamientos generales sobre la información que deben contener prospectos, etiquetas y rótulos de medicamentos de venta libre (MVL).Objetivos: analizar la adecuación a la normativa de una muestra de MVL; promover y divulgar acciones estratégicas viables a desarrollar por los farmacéuticos a fin de mejorar la información para los pacientes.Métodos:En un curso, dirigido a farmacéuticos comunitarios, se desarrollaron una actividad práctica y un foro de debate sobre la adecuación a la Disposición ANMAT 753/2012. Se registró el cumplimiento de 17 pautas de la normativa en una muestra de 66 MVL. Duración del foro: 2 semanas. Se realizó un análisis de contenido sobre las estrategias aportadas por los participantes.Resultados:El 87,9% de los medicamentos de la muestra incumple con al menos 1 de las pautas analizadas. Los mayores incumplimientos se relacionaron a composición inadecuadamente descripta, ausencia de número telefónico para consultas, acción terapéutica incomprensible y requerimientos del envase. Se plantearon estrategias a desarrollar en farmacias individualmente, agrupadas o a través de los colegios profesionales.Conclusión principal:Se observó un alto incumplimiento en las pautas analizadas de la normativa. Las estrategias planteadas se encaminan a conseguir el empoderamiento del paciente a través de educación sanitaria sobre el uso de MVL y el acceso a fuentes de información confiables que sean comprensibles para el usuario. Es necesario fortalecer los circuitos de control de la información que deben contener los MVL y promover la participación y el compromiso del farmacéutico. Universidad Nacional Córdoba.
