The pharmacist plays an important role in the care for the users of primary health care by providing emancipatory self-care actions, education in health, promotion of health and of the reasonable use of medications. In this context, the present study, through an integrative review of the literature, had the goal of analyzing the types and benefits of the clinical pharmaceutic services developed in primary health care in Brazil. In the SciELO and PUBMED/MEDLINE databases, we gathered articles on the clinical pharmaceutic services developed in primary health care in Brazil published in Portuguese, English and Spanish between 2007 and 2017. The pharmacotherapeutic follow-up is the most studied service, while dispensation and guidance are the activities most often performed by the primary health care pharmacists. Regarding the benefits, the literature shows the coexistence, the importance and the multidimensionality of the clinical pharmaceutic services in the promotion of health and in the reasonable use of medications by the circumscribed community.
