This is a descriptive exploratory study of cross-sectional and observational nature, conducted in five health units DAGUA Administrative District, located in the city of Belém, in the period between March 2010 and August 2011. Research also conducted a study where information was transcribed document, for forms of research. This study sought to ascertain the logistics supply and usage profile of drugs to control blood pressure in administrative district DAGUA. Therefore, we investigated the sociodemographic profile of program participants HIPERDIA, what medications provided by the municipal health for the treatment of hypertension, as well as the logistics employed by the municipality to access to them. The study population was characterized as mostly elderly, with low education and predominantly made up of browns. It was observed that 53.78% of patients makes use of monotherapy and 46.22% polytherapy. Captopril uses only 36.84%. 65.31% of patients who polytherapy using the combination of captopril and hydrochlorothiazide. There was no significant correlation between the socioeconomic aspects of the participants and the control of blood pressure levels. Knowledge about hypertension did not influence the results of the PA. 51.96% of patients had uncontrolled control blood pressure. Due to the lack of supply of drugs in health facilities and the socioeconomic profile of the users, the Popular Pharmacy Program in Brazil presents itself as an important strategy for the access of patients to their treatment. Finally, summarizing the findings, it was observed that the logistics cycle of Pharmaceutical Care in Belém - especially in the stages of planning, purchasing and dispensing drugs - does not respect the current legal framework which regulates the National Pharmaceutical Care. It was noted the lack of standardization of drugs scheduled to units located in the same region, in addition to the large difference between the conditions of purchase of medicines compared to other bids, arriving to generate price differences of up to 3000%. We conclude that the technical management of pharmaceutical care in the city of Belém is ineffective and inefficient for the care of patients with Hypertension.porAcesso AbertoHipertensãoUso de medicamentosAssistência farmacêuticaBelém - PAPará - EstadoAmazônia brasileiraDissertaçãoCNPQ::CIENCIAS DA SAUDE::FARMACIA::ANALISE E CONTROLE E MEDICAMENTOS
