Qualquer tratamento, seja ele medicamentoso ou n?o, exige que o paciente fa?a o consentimento, ou seja, ele precisa estar claramente orientado sobre o que se pretende com aquele tratamento (objetivo a ser alcan?ado), assim como os riscos envolvidos tanto na decis?o de tratar ou n?o tratar. Além disso, o profissional deve apresentar paciente as op??es terapêuticas disponíveis e suas particularidades em rela??o eficácia (efeito), efetividade (seguran?a) e eficiência (custo), para que em conjunto haja a defini??o do tratamento, que embora seja proposto pelo profissional, só é devidamente realizado com a decis?o do paciente em fazê-lo.

To support a patient needing medication assistance while upholding their dignity and independence, start with respectful communication and gradual guidance. Begin by asking how they prefer to be supported, giving them options and control over the process. When possible, teach simple methods for self-managing medication, such as setting reminders. Encouraging self-reliance and respecting their preferences ensures that assistance is provided in a way that upholds their dignity and promotes confidence in managing their own health.

Prescri??es para paciente do SUS precisam dar preferência para medicamentos fornecidos pelo SUS. Reconcilia??o medicamentosa na admiss?o farmacêutica é imprescindível para evitar duplicidade no tratamento em caso de interna??o, assim como a alta farmacêutica necessita de uma comunica??o efetiva para ter certeza se o paciente realmente compreendeu a mudan?a no tratamento. Reformular a rotina dos horários dos medicamentos de acordo com o entendimento do paciente, se tem rede de apoio ou n?o, e pedir para o paciente repetir as orienta??es. Orientar os locais e as burocracias de dispensa??o do medicamentos e liberar o paciente com todos os documentos necessários.

To uphold a patient's dignity and independence when they need medication assistance, involve them in the process as much as possible. Clearly explain why the medication is necessary, how it works, and any potential side effects. Respect their preferences on timing and how they want to take the medication, allowing them to make choices where feasible. Encourage them to manage their medication schedule independently using tools like pill organizers, alarms, or apps, and provide guidance without taking over completely. Celebrate small successes and emphasize their strengths to build confidence. Always communicate with empathy, treating them as a capable partner in their own care, rather than a passive recipient of instructions.
