That is, without any rational evaluation as to efficacy, safety, suitability and cost.Taking this into account, a research project was carried out in the Hospital De Niños de la Santísima Trinidad as part of a program for better prescription through training in the rational use of Medicines. The objective of the research was to find out what real information residents of pediatrics had on 6 frequently used drugs. To this end a survey was conducted on: adverse reactions, contraindications, interactions and maximum dose.The overall results indicated: 3.1 % of the residents thought their knowledge of the 6 drugs was GOOD; 34.4% thought it REGULAR and 62.5% deemed it BAD.Given the evident poor knowledge of the surveyed subjects the management of the Hospital de Niños de la Santísima Trinidad aiming at a safe and high-quality academic medicine approved the creation of a Pharmacotherapeutics Committee. One of the main activities of this committee is the development of educational strategies in pharmacotherapeutics. En 1985, la OMS reveló la contundente realidad de que, en el mundo, más del 50% de los medicamentos se prescribe de manera inadecuada, esto es, sin la realización de una evaluación racional sobre eficacia, seguridad, conveniencia y costo de los mismos.Ante este panorama, y en el marco de un programa de mejoramiento de la prescripción mediante el entrenamiento en el Uso Racional de Medicamentos, se realizó un proyecto de investigación, instrumentado en el Hospital De Niños de la Santísima Trinidad, cuyo objetivo principal consistió en conocer la información efectiva que poseían los residentes de pediatría sobre seis fármacos utilizados frecuentemente. Por ello se desarrolló una encuesta sobre reacciones adversas, contraindicaciones, interacciones y dosis máximas.Utilizando un indicador global, 3,1% de los residentes (2) clasificaron su conocimiento sobre los seis fármacos como BUENO, 34,4% (22) como REGULAR y 62,5% (40) como MALO.Dado que es evidente que la calidad de la información en los encuestados es pobre, la dirección del Hospital de Niños de la Santísima Trinidad, con el propósito de alcanzar una medicina académica, segura y de calidad, aprobó la creación de un Comité Farmacoterapéutico, el cual planifica, como una de sus actividades centrales, el desarrollo de estrategias educativas en farmacoterapéutica.
