Sumario:This is a commentary manuscript, which aims to carry out a critical analysis of the effects of Pharmaceutical Care (PC) without the continuity of the service by healthcare professionals. PC has proven to be a very effective practice for improving pharmacotherapy for medicine users. In Brazil, it is noticeable that in the vast majority of cases, PC is carried out by professionals who are already working within the healthcare systems under the supervision of researchers affiliated with universities, for the purpose of research and data collection. When the research ends there is no continuation of the service, which hinders its continuous implementation and the establishment of a connection with the community. It was observed that after discharge from pharmacotherapeutic monitoring, due to the interruption of the service, there was a deterioration in the clinical and laboratory parameters of individuals with chronic diseases. Therefore, it is clear that PC needs to be implemented not only for research purposes, but also in the “real world”, so that it is long-lasting and permanent with the monitoring of the patients using medication.
