  abstract = {{OBJECTIVE}: {T}o evaluate the access to drugs for hypertension and diabetes and the direct cost of buying them among users of the {F}amily {H}ealth {S}trategy ({FHS}) in the state of {P}ernambuco, {B}razil. {METHODS}: {P}opulation-based, cross-sectional study of a systematic random sample of 785 patients with hypertension and 823 patients with diabetes mellitus who were registered in 208 randomly selected {FHS} teams in 35 municipalities of the state of {P}ernambuco. {T}he selected municipalities were classified into three levels with probability proportional to municipality size ({LS}, large-sized; {MS}, medium-sized; {SS}, small-sized). {T}o verify differences between the cities, we used the χ2 test. {RESULTS}: {P}harmacological treatment was used by 91.2% patients with hypertension whereas 85.6% patients with diabetes mellitus used oral antidiabetic drugs ({OAD}s), and 15.4% used insulin. {T}he {FHS} team itself provided antihypertensive medications to 69.0% patients with hypertension, {OAD}s to 75.0% patients with diabetes mellitus, and insulin treatment to 65.4%. {T}he 36.9% patients with hypertension and 29.8% with diabetes mellitus that had to buy all or part of their medications reported median monthly cost of {R}$ 18.30, {R}$ 14.00, and {R}$ 27.61 for antihypertensive drugs, {OAD}s, and insulin, respectively.},
