This survey also highlighted the lack of information regarding the adverse effects caused by self-medication.…”

“…De acordo com Santos e colaboradores (2022), os medicamentos mais utilizados por estudantes são os antigripais, analgésicos e antiácidos, e em mais da metade dos casos, a utilização ocorre por automedicação 17 . Os analgésicos estão entre os mais utilizados de acordo com o observado por Valério e Morretes (2020), justamente pelas vantagens destes em promover um alívio da dor, serem de fácil aquisição e por apresentarem venda livre, sem necessidade de receita médica.…”
