Objetivo: determinar o perfil epidemiológico e clínico de pacientes com acromegalia no Estado de Alagoas. Métodos: trata-se de um estudo descritivo, observacional, que foi realizado na Farmácia de Medicamentos Excepcionais do Estado de Alagoas, abrangendo 12 pacientes com acromegalia dessa instituição, correspondendo a 85% dos acromegálicos do Estado de Alagoas. Resultados: dos 12 pacientes estudados, a média de idade foi de 50,8 +/- 12,1 anos e, no momento do diagnóstico, uma média de idade de 44,5 +/- 11,6 anos. Foram realizados exames de imagem em 91,6% dos pacientes, em que se evidenciou macroademona hipofisário no momento do diagnóstico. A octreotida foi o medicamento principal, utilizado em 92% dos pacientes. Conclusão: O estudo corrobora, em boa parte dos dados, a literatura atual e revela a necessidade de maior precocidade de diagnóstico e início de terapêutica adequada, evitando o surgimento de comorbidades e complicações típicas da doença.
