Resumo: | The indiscriminate use of medicines is an important health problem and it is a habit that is not restricted only to a specific age group. This article aimed to investigate during the COVID-19 pandemic the consumption of medicines among pharmacy students and to investigate their search for guidance from a pharmaceutical professional. This is a descriptive, observational and cross-sectional epidemiological study applied to students of the pharmacy course in Barra do Garças, Mato Grosso. The sample corresponded to 47.2% (67) of the students of the private institution and with 52.5% (74) of the public network. It was observed that 46% of the interviewees came to use some medication during the pandemic in order to treat a possible manifestation of COVID-19, and 44% used it without having the diagnosis of the disease, corroborating with what was observed during the pandemic, the search for drug means to treat and/or to prevent COVID-19. The most commonly used medications were vitamin C, vitamin D, ivermectin and azithromycin. Regarding the use of other remedies, such as teas, 56.8% of the participants did not use such alternatives. Although 85% of the interviewees were aware of the functions performed by the pharmacist, only 32.6% sought pharmaceutical guidance in the pandemic. It was concluded that the consumption of medicines was frequent among the students of the pharmacy course, including the practice of self-medication. |

O uso indiscriminado de medicamentos constitui um problema importante de saúde e é um hábito que não se restringe apenas a uma faixa etária específica. Este artigo teve como objetivo investigar, durante a pandemia da Covid-19, o consumo de medicamentos entre acadêmicos de farmácia e averiguar a procura desses por orientação de profissional farmacêutico. Trata-se de um estudo epidemiológico descritivo, observacional e transversal, aplicado a acadêmicos do curso de Farmácia, em Barra do Garças, Mato Grosso. A amostragem correspondeu a 47,2% (67) de acadêmicos de instituição particular e foram 52,5% (74) da rede pública. Verificou-se que 46% dos entrevistados chegaram a utilizar algum medicamento durante a pandemia com finalidade de tratar um possível acometimento por Covid-19, sendo 44% os que utilizaram sem possuir o diagnóstico da doença, corroborando com o observado durante a pandemia, ou seja, a busca por meios medicamentosos para tratar e/ou prevenir a Covid-19. Os medicamentos mais utilizados foram vitamina C, vitamina D, ivermectina e azitromicina. Quanto à utilização de outros remédios, como chás, foram descartados por 56,8% dos participantes. Embora 85% dos entrevistados tivessem conhecimento das funções desempenhadas pelo farmacêutico, apenas 32,6% procuraram orientação farmacêutica na pandemia. Concluiu-se que o consumo de medicamentos foi frequente entre os acadêmicos do curso de farmácia, incluindo a prática da automedicação.
