The objective of this article is to analyze how the websites of the State Health Departments of Paraíba, Bahia, Santa Catarina and Rio Grande do Sul provide information about the Brazilian drug policy for SUS users. Based on a qualitative methodology, a variety of forms of organization and presentation of structured information are observed in a predominantly technical language, in disagreement with the level of education of the population of these states, as opposed to a public communication that must be, according to the legal norm, accessible and understandable by managers, professionals and civil society actors, overcoming the language of the technical-bureaucratic body so that public policy is appropriated by society. When identifying a distance between law and reality, it concludes by stating a limits and challenges to be overcome by the political agents in the deepening and development of methodologies focused on the quality of access to information on public policy of medicines by the population.
