Abstract

The present work aims to analyze the profile of the users of Homeopathy in two pharmacies of the city of Santos (SP). A closed questionnaire was applied to 102 users during the month of January of 2007. It was found that the Homeopathy user uses other therapeutic resources concomitantly, mainly the conventional treatment (59,7%).The safety of the homeopathic treatment was invoked as the main motivation for its use (33,1%). The user rarely seeks the pharmacist’s advice, and when he/she does it is to ask orientations for self-medication.It is presented a short analysis of the emergency of pharmaceutical care in Brazil and the world and of the importance of systematization in the homeopathic specialized services.
