“…A lo largo de la historia la sociedad ha adquirido ciertos conocimientos sobre el uso de medicamentos que ha desencadenado en la práctica de automedicación, es decir el consumo por voluntad propia y sin prescripción médica previa de fármacos, ya sea para prevenir o tratar dolencias (1). Durante el periodo de Pandemia ocasionada por el COVID-19 la automedicación se convirtió en una práctica recurrente para hacer frente a los síntomas o en otros casos de manera preventiva; sobre todo en los inicios, pues se trataba de un virus nuevo, de alta mortalidad.…”

La automedicación es una práctica común, que durante la Pandemia por Covid-19 se reforzó por la incertidumbre y el miedo al nuevo virus. Objetivo: Describir las características de la automedicación en Latinoamérica en el contexto del covid-19. Metodología: Estudio basado en una revisión sistemática PRISMA 2020, analizaron dieciséis estudios obtenidos de las bases de datos Scopus, Web of Sciences y Scielo; realizados en Latinoamérica entre 2019-2023; en idioma inglés, español y portugués; que aportaron información sobre automedicación; la calidad de evidencia se evaluó mediante la lista de chequeo de Joanna Briggs Institute para estudios transversales. Resultados: La prevalencia de automedicación fue variable entre países, destacando Perú con un 80,3%; los fármacos más consumidos incluyeron analgésicos (paracetamol e ibuprofeno); antibióticos (azitromicina), ivermectina, además derivados de plantas y dióxido de cloro. La automedicación se asoció al sexo masculino, tercera edad y baja escolaridad; Conclusiones: En los países de los estudios incluidos se encontró alta prevalencia de automedicación, sobre todo de antiinflamatorios, corticoides, antibióticos; así como el uso conjunto de fármacos y productos herbarios; esta práctica inadecuada puede repercutir en la presentación de reacciones adversas e interacciones medicamentosas que agravan el estado de salud de los pacientes convirtiéndose en una problemática de salud pública.

Objective:The objective of this study was to identify the prevalence and factors associated with the use of drugs without evidence for the prevention of COVID-19 in Peruvians without symptoms or diagnosis, using the National Household Survey (ENAHO) 2021. Methods: A secondary analysis was made of the ENAHO 2021. We evaluated participants older than 18 years who did not undergo any test to diagnose COVID-19 and used any drug to prevent COVID-19. Adjusted prevalence ratios (aPRs) were estimated to determine the associated factors. Results: Among the 69,815 participants analyzed, the prevalence of taking a drug 4 weeks prior to the survey was 5.64%. Factors associated with drug consumption were:
