Resumo: Self-medication is a worldwide phenomenon and its prevalence differs according to the population studied, the method and the recall period used. Therefore, the approach to the theme is necessary since it is a matter of concern for international authorities. A research was carried out in health databases, using inclusion and selection criteria for the selection of scientific articles. Then, the practice of self-medication was observed in individuals with higher schooling. Moreover, regarding the reason for self-medication, reports of previous experience in the treatment of recurrent symptoms were found, the perception of no severity in this action and no need for medical attention to treat the reported symptoms. The main classes of drugs observed were analgesics, anti-inflammatory drugs, antibiotics and drugs with action on the gastrointestinal system. Self-medication is a phenomenon with possible harmfulness and that must be fully understood and studied.

Sendo assim, a abordagem da temática se faz necessária vez que é uma questão de preocupação para as autoridades internacionais. Foi realizada pesquisa em bases de dados de Saúde, utilizando critérios de inclusão e seleção para seleção de artigos científicos. Então, foi observada a prática da automedicação em indivíduos com maior escolaridade. Ademais, em relação ao motivo da automedicação, foram encontrados relatos de experiência anterior no tratamento de sintomas recorrentes, a percepção de não haver gravidade nessa ação e não precisar de atendimento médico para tratamento dos sintomas relatados. As principais classes de medicamentos observados foram os analgésicos, anti-inflamatórios, antibióticos e fármacos com ação no sistema gastrointestinal. A automedicação é um fenômeno com possível nocividade e que deve ser compreendida e estudada de maneira aprofundada.Research, Society and Development2021-08-07info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://rsdjournal.org/index.php/rsd/article/view/1866010.33448/rsd-v10i10.18660Research, Society and Development; Vol. 10 No. 10; e125101018660Research, Society and Development; Vol. 10 Núm. 10; e125101018660Research, Society and Development; v. 10 n. 10; e1251010186602525-3409reponame:Research, Society and Developmentinstname:Universidade Federal de Itajubá (UNIFEI)instacron:UNIFEIporhttps://rsdjournal.org/index.php/rsd/article/view/18660/16663Copyright (c) 2021 André Schuler de Menezes; Isabella Araújo Bonanni; Matheus de Sá Gomes Cruz Souza; Sara Vitória Galindo Carneiro; Shelley Moura Alves; Thaís Aquino de Oliveira; Manuela Barbosa Rodrigues de Souzahttps://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessMenezes, André Schuler de Bonanni, Isabella Araújo Souza, Matheus de Sá Gomes Cruz Carneiro, Sara Vitória Galindo Alves, Shelley Moura Oliveira, Thaís Aquino de Souza, Manuela Barbosa Rodrigues de 2021-10-02T21:49:16Zoai:ojs.pkp.sfu.ca:article/18660Revistahttps://rsdjournal.org/index.php/rsd/indexPUBhttps://rsdjournal.org/index.php/rsd/oairsd.articles@gmail.com2525-34092525-3409opendoar:2024-01-17T09:38:44.433124Research, Society and Development - Universidade Federal de Itajubá (UNIFEI)false
