A study of therapeutics evolution in the course of history is made in order to show the origins of Pharmacy and of the pharmaceutical profession. Follows a historical retrospective of pharmaceutical assistence in Brazil and Ceara, emphasizing the existing models in the last decades of the 19th and 20th centuries showing that the procedures adopted by the busines men, public authorities and most pharmacists neither obey the laws nor the rights of the citizens leaving aside the ethical precepts in the promotion of a correct pharmaceutical assistence for all. The presented approaches, in five chapters, are based on relevant facts obtained from an extensive documental research which shows and analyses a number of procedures whose core is set in the advertisement of drugs, in the irrational use of them and in the excessive number of laws which, most of the times, are not applied. The dispensing of medication under the responsibility of the pharmacist is analysed both in the public and private society sectors. It is concluded that the pharmacist is an indispensable professional as the transforming agent of the pharmaceutical assistance models and a vital component of health promoter teams to organize the supporting therapeutic services utilizing the correct professional procedures demanded in the promotion of the public health.
