Methodology: The evident study is a bibliographic research of the integrative review type. Results and discussions: In total, through the use of keywords in the databases, 108,070 articles were found. After using the filters, these specified by the inclusion and exclusion criteria, a total of 12 articles remained to be commented on in this text. Final considerations: The role of the pharmacist in the hospital environment is of fundamental importance to guarantee the maintenance of the health of inpatients. It is observed that the clinical activities performed by this professional are considerably capable of reducing damage associated with the misuse of medications.
