The National Health Surveillance Agency (Anvisa) decided that, until the end of the year, the drugs should be accompanied by two leaflets: one with technical language, aimed at doctors, and another dedicated to patients, with more didactic information. The will of the patient leaflet inside the box of medicine, while the other is electronic, available on the site of Anvisa. Patients also can access it.
Among other changes, the letters should be larger and the spacing between paragraphs in the text of the leaflet teaching to facilitate reading. The proposed change will be available for public consultation until the 24th. Some studies suggest that the leaflets of medicines sold in Brazil are incomplete, too technical for the lay public and surface and out to the doctors.
In 2008, the Idec (Brazilian Institute for Consumer Protection) noted several problems in assessing leaflets of 19 medications (antidepressants, tranquilizers, anti-inflammatory drugs, vasodilators, antirreumáticos and drugs against high blood pressure and to lower cholesterol).
Among them, found significant differences between the information in the leaflets of medicinal products and in reference to their generic or similar, although the effect should be the same. According to general manager of the drugs Anvisa, Nur Shuqair, with new leaflets no more problems like this. "All have the same technical information, the same model of leaflet. This will help both the supervision and the professionals who prescribe and dispense medicines, which can be confused with the differences, "says Shuqair.
