The popular pharmacy in Brazil is a government pharmacy that offers certain drugs with discounts of up to 90% or even free for some people, requiring only a prescription.
Some of the medications provided free of charge are those for hypertension, diabetes and asthma, for example.
To access medicines provided free of charge or at discounts by the SUS, it is necessary to go to a basic health unit or popular pharmacy with id, proof of residence, prescription and national health card, which can be done in time if the person does not have it.
In addition to medications used to treat hypertension, diabetes and asthma, antibiotics, anxiolytics, antifungals and anti-inflammatory drugs are available through the SUS at some discounts.Medications for chronic diseases, such as cancer, are also available for free or with reductions through the SUS.However, these drugs are often rare and need to be requested in court.
