De acordo com informações divulgadas pela Secretaria Municipal de Saúde, o protocolo que regulamenta o uso do medicamento deve ser publicado no Diário Oficial. A previsão é que o programa seja lançado ainda em março e que as primeiras aplicações comecem em abril, inicialmente em uma unidade de saúde na Zona Oeste da cidade.

O tratamento utilizará substâncias como a semaglutida, presente em medicamentos usados no controle da obesidade. Esses remédios são aplicados por meio de injeções e atuam na regulação do apetite e no controle da glicose no organismo.

Segundo a prefeitura, o atendimento será direcionado inicialmente a pacientes com obesidade grau 3 — quando o índice de massa corporal (IMC) ultrapassa 40 — e que apresentem doenças associadas, como diabetes ou hipertensão. A estimativa é que cerca de 130 mil pessoas atendidas pelo sistema público de saúde na cidade se enquadrem nesse perfil.

Para participar do programa, os pacientes também precisarão cumprir algumas exigências, como acompanhamento médico regular, realização de exames periódicos e participação em programas de atividade física oferecidos pela rede municipal.

A expectativa é que o tratamento seja ampliado gradualmente para outras unidades de saúde do município após o início das aplicações.

O acesso ao medicamento ganhou novo cenário após a queda da patente da semaglutida, o que pode permitir a produção de versões genéricas e reduzir o custo do tratamento, que atualmente pode chegar a cerca de R$ 2 mil por mês no mercado privado.
