ABSTRACT
The promotion of public health in Brazil has shown increasing amounts; and the judicialization of health is a phenomenon in continuous growth, representing extraordinary expenses, backed by judicial decisions, reflected in budgetary impact not necessarily coming from decisions of the Legislative and Executive branches. In this sense, the form of judicial protection provision is also analyzed, aiming to understand the tendencies of trial and forms of solution of conflicts over medication via judicial sentences, in the realm of the Brazilian Judiciary System. In order to do so, the work uses the hypothetical deductive method, through doctrinal and jurisprudential revision, in addition to the legislative research. With the objective of presenting an alternative to the systemic problem regarding the (non) efficiency over the supplying of drugs and medicines by the Unified Health System (SUS) and the crowding of lawsuits with the Judiciary, the present article develops, in addition to the comments on judicial activism, collective demands, constitutional changes. and the weighting of sentences, as well as the discussion about insertion and use of structural injunctions in the Brazilian legal system, with the aim of offering a humble contribution to the debates about the continuous improvement of the Constitutional State of Law.
