The results obtained in the study showed that there is no adequate and correct dispensing in the service, since the pharmacy assistant is the only person who is there full time in the pharmacy, the absence of the Pharmaceutical Biochemical professional does not allow adequate dispensing of medications. Therefore, the information that the patient receives in the pharmacy may cause long- term bacterial resistance, out of 450 prescriptions, 63.6% received at least one error in these, the most frequent being the indications. With the results obtained for a possible solution, an active dispensing protocol was developed for antibiotics.
