Abstract

Bone Marrow Transplantation, also known as Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplantation (HSCT), is a treatment modality that has evolved in recent decades and has become an effective hope for cure for certain diseases, especially hematologic diseases. Due to the high complexity of the treatment and the different physical and psychological demands, the patient submitted to the HSCT requires the full assistance and care of a multidisciplinary team that should assist him in all phases of the treatment. Medicines used in the treatment are a common source of confusion for patients and their families, so the presence of a clinical pharmacist at the outpatient clinic is important for the reduction of drug-related problems. Activities such as drug reconciliation and patient and /or caregiver orientation were developed as strategies to minimize the risks of drug-related adverse events. This study aimed to describe the practice of pharmaceutical care performed at the Hematopoietic Stem Cell Pre-Transplant Outpatient Clinic in, showing how the pharmacist can contribute to a hospital within the state of Rio Grande do Sul improve patient safety and quality of life in the of HSCT care line.
