Pharmaceutical practice has been changing in Brazil and, due to the public health policies in the country, demands improvement to assure the integrality of actions. The objective of this research is to analyze the discourses of pharmacy professionals about the
pharmaceutical clinic practices in the Basic Healthcare Units (UBS) of the Municipal Government of Vitória (PMV), according to the principles of integrality. In order to achieve that, twelve participants were interview individually. From the analysis of the textual data, carried out through the use of the software Alceste, four classes were categorized, grouping the discourses about their
actions regarding the irrational use of medicines, the addition of clinic-pharmaceutical practice in the Nucleus for the Support of Family Health (Nasf), the receiving and legal directing of clinic attributions in the municipal area, and, finally, the obstacles to be
surpassed for the integrality of Pharmaceutical Care. The results show that there is no uniformity in regards to the clinical pharmaceutical actions. The integration of their actions with the staff of the NASF, in spite of demanding new competences, creates
opportunity for the systematization of Pharmaceutical Care and the operationalization of the principle of integrality. Therefore, for its consolidation, professional qualification, legal directing and dismantlement of structural limitations are imperative.
