摘要：Suicide is considered a serious public health problem, on average 800 thousand people die from suicide in the world each year. The aim of this study was to assess the scenario of exposure to medications associated with a suicide attempt. This is a documentary, retrospective study with a quantitative approach, carried out from January to June 2020 in a reference center in the state of Ceará. There were 1,205 reported cases of acute intoxication, 69.2% of these due to attempted suicide. Patients aged between 20 and 29 years, both female (18.9%) and male (13.2%), stood out. More often related to mild cases with 51.2%. The main drugs involved in intoxications were anxiolytics, representing 18.6% of the cases and in 92.57% they occurred in the patients' homes. It is concluded that the population needs to be made aware of the risks related to medications, from their use without medical prescriptions to intentional abuse.
