Resumo: Self-medication is a phenomenon that is potentially harmful to the individual and to collective health, and the inadequate adoption of this practice can cause damage to the patient’s health. The objective of this study was to characterize the profile of those who self-medicate in the city of São Miguel Arcanjo, State of São Paulo. A questionnaire was developed and implemented in two municipal health facilities from June to August 2015. The results were: 292 people (75.06%) of the population interviewed used non-prescription drugs, predominantly females (54.46%). The educational level of the study subjects (49.31%) corresponds to the elementary school, and the class of the most consumed drugs were non-prescription drugs (22,94%), followed by nonsteroidal anti-inflammatories (18.49%). It was concluded that São Miguel Arcanjo/SP shows a high prevalence of self-medication by the population, predominantly in women, with non-prescription drugs being highlighted, followed by nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, with an influence of the family, rather than of a physician’s prescription, or an indication by a qualified professional.
