The consumption of non-prescription medications, despite the risks, has become a very common practice in the Brazilian population in times of pandemic. This study aimed to investigate the prevalence of the main causes of self-medication in times of the COVID-19 pandemic, focusing on some cities in the state of Paraiba. Data collection took place through a questionnaire accessed via Google Forms, with sociodemographic and medicated questions. 95.7% of the participants reported practicing self-medication and 61.6% self-medicating due to the pandemic.

O consumo de medicamentos sem prescrição, apesar dos riscos, tem se tornado uma prática comum na população brasileira em tempos de pandemia. O estudo teve como objetivo investigar a prevalência das principais causas da automedicação em tempos de pandemia do COVID-19, com foco em algumas cidades do estado da Paraíba. A coleta de dados ocorreu através do questionário acessado via Google Forms, com questões de natureza sociodemográficas e medicamentosas. 95,7% dos participantes declararam praticar a automedicação e 61,6% se automedicaram devido à pandemia. A classe terapêutica mais prevalente foram os analgésicos seguida pelos antiparasitários. Sendo os principais medicamentos de uso a dipirona, paracetamol e ivermectina. Os principais sintomas associados foram dor de cabeça e gripe/resfriado/tosse. Dentre os principais fatores associados à automedicação, destacam-se a praticidade e comorbidade e a facilidade de comprar na farmácia. Deste modo a atuação do profissional farmacêutico pode prevenir a automedicação, efetuando assim, importante papel no cuidado do paciente.Revista Brasileira Multidisciplinar - ReBraM2022-09-01info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttp://revistarebram.com/index.php/revistauniara/article/view/174210.25061/2527-2675/ReBraM/2022.v25i3.1742Revista Brasileira Multidisciplinar; v. 25 n. 3 (2022): Setembro-Dezembro; 73-822527-26751415-3580reponame:Revista Brasileira Multidisciplinarinstname:Universidade de Araraquara (UNIARA)instacron:UNIARAporhttp://revistarebram.com/index.php/revistauniara/article/view/1742/870Copyright (c) 2022 Revista Brasileira Multidisciplinarhttps://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessNascimento, Graciele Nóbrega Nascimento, Leonardo Justino, Maria Clara Lino Vilar, Daniela de Araújo 2023-03-23T23:25:54Zoai:ojs.revistarebram.com:article/1742Revistahttp://revistarebram.com/index.php/revistauniaraPRIhttps://revistarebram.com/index.php/revistauniara/oairevistauniara@uniara.com||2527-26752527-2675opendoar:2023-03-23T23:25:54Revista Brasileira Multidisciplinar - Universidade de Araraquara (UNIARA)false |
