ACOSTA REYNALDO, Enma Damara  e  DUPUIG BARROSO, Rafael. Notification of side effects suspicion for the medication most consumed in the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela and prescribed by Cuban Medical Mission. MEDISAN [online]. 2011, vol.15, n.8, pp. 1072-1078. ISSN 1029-3019.

A descriptive, observational, and cross-sectional research on medication consumption, prescribed by Cuban doctors, in the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela was carried out during the biennium 2007-2008 in order to determine the suspicion of adverse events. Ferrous fumarate pills, the treatment most used, and captopril, the medication of higher side effects notification, with 459, prevailed among the main results. Whereas, in general sense, non-desirable responses brought on by medication were relevant in adults (73,0 %). It was concluded that drug use did not become a determinant factor in the suspicion of adverse events because it was numerous in some of the medication less consumed and vice versa, which could have been due to some factors, such as availability, prescription habits, secondary actions unawareness, and laziness for the notification, and the like, that should have been investigated so as to sustain the findings described.
