It conducted a literature review by the Scientific databases Electronic Library Online (SciELO) and Latin American and Caribbean Health Sciences (LILACS). In the context of the Family Health Strategy, it is possible to pharmaceutical much more dynamic in their actions, allowing room for directly unrelated actions of prescription, ie excluding the position of the biomedical model, which is directed in the product, and turning to work integrated with in the multidisciplinary team, the community, society and the individual, in a systemic perspective. It is clear, for this work, that health professionals do not understand indeed the pharmacist's role in the Family Health Strategy.
