Resolution published by the Federal Board of Pharmacy allows professionals prescribe medications that do not require a prescription
Starting this Wednesday , International Day of Pharmaceutical , professionals category may prescribe medications that do not require a prescription . The resolution of the Federal Council of Pharmacy ( CFF ) was published in the Official Gazette With the new regulations , pharmacists across the country will be able to prescribe , for example , analgesics , topical medicines and herbal medicines .
The president of the Regional Council of Pharmacy of the State of São Paulo ( CRF- SP ) , Peter Menegasso , the measure will formalize what was already a habit . " The pharmacies are required to have a pharmacist and this aid is already given informally ," he says.
The regulation was approved by the CFF nine days after Congress approved the vetoes made by Dilma Rousseff the Medical Act Law . The law provides that the act of prescribing treatments is not unique to graduates in medicine .
For the president of CRF- SP , however , the approval of the changes just days after the approval of the Medical Act vetoes was coincidence. " The decision to prescribe drugs that do not require a prescription does not enter the field of medical . Every medication has risks . Pharmacist is the professional who can best advise patients , as is our field of study. "
For the first secretary of the Federal Council of Medicine ( CFM ) , Desiré Callegari , " the law that regulates the profession of pharmacist does not provide disease diagnosis and prescription treatments . " The CFM must rule still officially on Wednesday .
