--- The purpose of this study was to identify the causes of the Drug Related Problems (DRP) which triggered patients to enter into the Emergency Service. Moreover, to identify the different aspects related to theses DRP (types, related factors, preventability, drug and illnesses) with the objective of implementing the actions pointed to its prevention. A prospective, descriptive, observational and transversal study was made during 3 months, including 221 patients over 18 years attended in the Emergency Service of the Public Hospital “Luis N. Sáenz” belongs to Peruvian National Police; their medical records were reviewed, they passed an interview and the pharmacotherapy follow-up records were analyzed, identifying 458 causes of DRP. The undesirable effect (27,9%) and the condition that requires pharmacotherapy (25,8%) were the most frequent causes of Patients’ entrance into the Emergency service. The most frequent DRP were the adverse drug reactions (DRP 5 – 35,1%) and the need of a drug that was not indicated (DRP 1 – 31,3%). 161 adverse reactions were detected with gastrointestinal disorders (34,8%). The age interval which showed a higher average of DRP was from 66 – 77 years. Furthermore, it was determined that 75% of DRP could be prevented. The drugs (according to ATC) and the diagnosis (according to CIE10) associated with the DRP are those related to the cardiovascular system (35,9%) and circulatory system (32,7%). It concludes that the identification of DRP causes, related factors and its preventability allows taking corrective actions such as release pharmacotherapy follow-up in ambulatory practice used as strategy to reduce the morbidity and mortality as well as to decrease the sanitary costs.
