Abstract

Quality control is an important process in the production of a medicinal product and should cover all stages of production. Deviations in the quality of a medication can cause various damages to the patient's health. The Unified Health System (SUS) has free distribution of medicines to the most needy population. The acquisition of these medicines is done through bids. In this sense, the objective of this work was to perform physical-chemical tests of quality control of tablets dispensed in a Public Pharmacy of a municipality in the northwest of Rio Grande do Sul. The following medicines were supplied by the Public Pharmacy: furosemide 40 mg, enalapril of 10 mg and propranolol 40 mg. The tests performed were: analysis of the physical appearance, average weight, friability, disintegration time and dosing. The furosemide was disapproved in the test of the average weight and approved in the other tests. On the other hand, propranolol was disapproved in the dosing assay, below specifications meeting. Enalapril showed compliance in all tests performed. These results demonstrate that the medications may compromise the health of the Public System user and these requirements can be used to qualify the suppliers participating in the bidding processes.
