Resumo: The use of drugs by healthy people to improve the brain functioning and enhance the cognitive performance might be called as pharmacological cognitive enhancement or intellectual doping. In Brazil, one of the most common drugs used for this purpose is the Methylphenidate Hydrochloride, which is marketed as Ritalina (Ritalin) or Concerta. This article aimed to understand, through a literature review, how methylphenidate hydrochloride has been used in the pharmacological cognitive enhancement and the relationship of this phenomenon with social medicalization. It is known that these drugs have the immediate effect of increasing concentration, but in the long term, they may cause growth suppression, increasing the blood pressure, psychotic episodes, etc. Even so, they have been used by academics with the purpose of increasing their production capacity and meeting deadlines and targets. Considering the increasing of the fans of this pratice and the facilitation of access to this medicine, it is necessary to go deep into the understanding of this phenomenon.

Uno de los medicamentos más utilizados en Brasil con esta finalidad es el Clorhidrato de Metilfenidato, comercializado con el nombre de Ritalina o Concerta. Este artículo tuvo como objetivo comprender, a través de una revisión de la literatura, cómo se ha utilizado el clorhidrato de metilfenidato en lo mejoramiento cognitivo farmacológico y la relación de este fenómeno con la medicalización social. Se sabe que estos medicamentos tienen como efecto inmediato el aumento de la concentración, mas a largo plazo pueden causar supresión del crecimiento, aumento de la presión sanguínea, episodios psicóticos, entre otros. Sin embargo, han sido utilizados por universitarios con la finalidad de aumentar su capacidad productiva y cumplir plazos y metas. Como esta práctica ha ganado cada vez más adeptos y el acceso a este medicamento es facilitado, se hace necesario profundizar el entendimiento de este fenómeno.O uso de medicamentos, por pessoas saudáveis, para melhorar o funcionamento do cérebro e aprimorar o desempenho cognitivo pode ser chamado de aprimoramento cognitivo farmacológico ou de doping intelectual.
