Abstract: This study evaluated the impact of pharmaceutical consultations on the health and well-being of patients with chronic conditions, such as systemic arterial hypertension (SAH) and diabetes mellitus (DM), in community pharmacies in Itaperuna/RJ. The methodology included structured questionnaires and semi-structured interviews with 100 patients, analyzing three indicators: treatment adherence, satisfaction with pharmaceutical care, and quality of life. Results showed significant improvements: adherence to treatment increased from 45% to 75%, satisfaction with care rose from 50% to 80%, and quality of life improved from 40% to 65%. Monthly consultations yielded higher satisfaction (85%) and adherence (80%) compared to quarterly consultations. Adherence was also higher among patients aged 40-59 years (78%) than those aged 60 years or older (72%). The study underscores the pharmacist’s role as a healthcare agent and highlights pharmaceutical consultations as an effective strategy for managing chronic diseases. Despite limitations, such as a focus on a specific sample, findings suggest broader implementation could optimize healthcare and improve patients’ quality of life.
