Abstract (English): Medicines are pharmaceutical forms obtained for therapeutic purposes, aimed at treatment, thus making drugs indispensable for human health. Given this reality, the generic drug policy in Brazil was created and implemented by Law 9.787/99, which established generics as identical to reference drugs, Objective: To analyze the differences between the sales of generic, similar, and reference drugs. Methodology: This is a empiric, quantitative and exploratory field research, held in a drugstore in the city of Teresina/PI, throughout 2023. Data was collected through the pharmacy's electronic sales registration systems. Sales data of drugs in the generic, similar, and reference categories were analyzed using GraphPad Prism version 5.0 software and analyzed by the IBM SPSS Statistics 2024 program. Results: It was identified that similar drugs had the highest number of sales in 2023, both in the first and second half of the year, followed by the number of sales of reference drugs, despite their decline compared to the first and second half of the year, and finally, generics had the lowest number of sales in 2023. Conclusion: The results reveal a clear transitional trend in purchasing behavior, with a growing preference for more economical and effective medicines. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
