Abstract

Although the pharmacological treatment not always result in better clinical outcomes, around 50-70% about medical consults result in drug prescription. This procedure is a common practice because the patient and medical intention converge to satisfy one point: the resolution of a problem with a magic dose or treatment with medicine. Moreover, self-medication represents a possibility to multiply the options in health care [2].

In this way is essential to cite that the prevalence of inappropriate medication usage can range from ~5% to ~40% [4].
