This study describes the sociodemographic and pharmacotherapeutic profile of transgender persons from a specialized outpatient service in Sergipe, northeast of Brazil. This investigation is an observational, cross-sectional, and retrospective research developed from January to May 2022 with a convenience sampling. Data included in the analysis was the number of medical records, age, gender, years of education, and marital status. Also collected from electronic medical records information about drug utilization, such as the type of hormone therapy and other medications currently used, whether prescribed or not. The descriptive analysis involved measures of central tendency (mean, median, and standard deviation). Transgender people included in the study (n=81) were up to 29 (80%) (mean age of 26 years), and 70% (n=57) reported the use of hormone therapy; 17% (n=10) reported consuming it by self-medication. The most used formulation was testosterone cypionate 40.8% (n=20), followed by cyproterone acetate plus estradiol 20.4% (n=10). About 66.7% (n=38) of these people used other medications, as antidepressants (32%; n=24). As a minority population constantly facing situations of social vulnerability, this work will contribute to a more detailed characterization of this population from the investigated service, and then public agencies and organizations that serve this population can obtain more information about the diversity that composes it.
