Introducción: El futuro inmediato de la farmacia requiere la incorporación de servicios profesionales orientados a optimizar la gestión personalizada del paciente.Objetivos del trabajo: Determinar las características de los pacientes/usuarios registrados en la base de datos de una farmacia comunitaria con el fin de detectar sus necesidades sanitarias para establecer las pautas de intervención más adecuadas y eficaces.Material y métodos: Se diseñó un cuestionario adaptado al ámbito de la farmacia comunitaria que facilitara el almacenamiento y tratamiento de los datos de los pacientes/usuarios seleccionados a través de entrevistas personales.Resultados: En la muestra predominan los pacientes pluripatológicos (80,5%) y polimedicados (72,2%) de edad avanzada (70,6±9,8 años) con bajo nivel de estudios (86,1%). Dislipemia (63,9%), HTA (61,1%), artrosis (56,6%), enfermedades vasculares periféricas (38,9%) y diabetes II (30,6%) fueron las patologías más prevalentes. Aunque el 69,4% realizaba ejercicio físico regularmente, el 81,8% tenía exceso de peso y no realiza dietas adecuadas. El fármaco más consumido fue omeprazol (97,0%) seguido de paracetamol (50,0%), estatinas (47,2%), benzodiacepinas, hidroclorotiazida y metformina.Conclusión: La caracterización de pacientes a través de cuestionarios estructurados y consensuados pueden ayudar al farmacéutico a localizar los grupos más vulnerables a los que ofrecer servicios profesionales adaptados a sus necesidades y a elaborar programas de prevención y protocolos de actuación más eficientes.
