Introduction: In the gestational period, the maternal body undergoes numerous physiological changes in a short period of time. The use of pharmacotherapeutic products during pregnancy should be cautious since many substances found in these products can bring very serious risks to the pregnant woman. Objective: To evaluate the use of medicinal plants by pregnant women attended at a basic health unit in Juazeiro do Norte-CE. Method: The present study is characterized as cross-sectional and observational with a quantitative character. Conducted with 15 pregnant women from a UBS in Juazeiro do Norte from October 2019 to November 2019. Results: In the present study, the use of pharmacotherapeutic products by pregnant women attended at a Basic Health Unit in Juazeiro do Norte, was evaluated. the socioeconomic profile was characterized, followed by the gestational history, and finally, the use of medicinal plants by pregnant women was verified, where it was noted that 20% of pregnant women used some type of medicinal plant. Conclusion: It was possible to observe the medicinal plants used by pregnant women in a Basic Health Unit in juazeiro do Norte-CE, and it can be seen that even though it is performed by a minority of pregnant women, the practice of using pharmacotherapeutic products remains on the rise today. Thus, it is extremely important that women in gestational status take due care of their health when it comes to the use of medicinal plants, as many medicinal plants do not have studies that indicate their efficacy and safety, as well as their effects toxic.
