A Atenção Farmacêutica é uma prática crescente no Brasil, assim como no cenário internacional. O princípio de promoção a saúde e atenção primária, preconizados no fim da década de 70, vem de encontro com essa atuação do farmacêutico, a fim de promover uma melhoria na qualidade de vida do paciente. Nesse âmbito é de extrema importância monitorar a farmacoterapia da gestante, já que são poucos os fármacos relativamente testados quanto à eficácia e a segurança para esse grupo específico. O aparecimento de novos fármacos que não tenham informações completas e totalmente confiáveis no que se refere a segurança para a gestante tem aumentado. Pelo potencial risco que o feto e o neonato podem sofrer durante a exposição ao fármaco, as dificuldades éticas e metodológicas dos estudos e ensaios clínicos são uma problemática. Analisando publicações e trabalhos que tiveram como foco a atenção farmacêutica em gestantes, objetiva-se conseguir informações importantes para que durante a gravidez o uso de medicamentos seja cada vez mais racional e que a prescrição seja feita e forma criteriosa, privilegiando medidas não farmacológicas quando possível.

METHODS: cross-sectional study with a sample composed of randomly selected health service users' aged ≥50 years. Healthcare expenditure over the last 12 months was analyzed and stratified into: medical consultations, exams, medication and overall expenditure. RESULTS: 707 women and 256 men were assessed. Women had higher overall expenditures than men (median: R$128.1 versus R$108.6; p-value=0.027). Comparing females and males, being female was associated with higher medical consultation expenditure (27.6% versus 18.4%, respectively p-value=0.005) and exams (27.1% versus 19.5%, respectively p-value=0.022). After statistical adjustments (smoking, socioeconomic status, physical activity and overweight), being female was still associated with higher exam-related expenditure (Odds Ratio= 1.47; 95% confidence interval: 1.01-2.14). CONCLUSION: women have higher expenditure related to exams than men. Female obesity was associated with medical consultation higher expenditure.
