OBJECTIVE: to discribe aspects of prescription and patient-care at Healthcare Units of Family Health (HUFH) in the municipality of Esperança, state of Bahia, Brazil. METHODS: a descriptive cross-sectional study on prescription and patient-care indicators proposed by the World Health Organization. RESULTS: average for prescribed drugs were 2.4; 74.6% of the medicaments were prescribed by generic name; 85.3% were listed by the Municipal List of Essential Drugs (REMUME); 9.3% had at least one antibiotic; 10.1% had at least one psychotropic; and 2.97%, at least an injectable medication; 48.0% of the prescribed drugs were effectively dispensed; the average time of dispensation was 49 seconds, and the medical consultation time, 7 minutes and 8 seconds. CONCLUSION: prescription follows standard list recommended, but REMUME needs actualization to attend the epidemiologic profile of the population.
