Resumo

Com a pandemia de COVID-19 surgiu a necessidade da busca de medicamentos para o tratamento e prevenção da doença. Consequentemente, houve o reaproveitamento de alguns fármacos. Dessa forma, o presente estudo teve como objetivo realizar uma revisão dos fármacos cloroquina, hidroxicloroquina e ivermectina, ressaltando os mecanismos de ação, os estudos que comprovam- ou não- sua eficácia sob o SARS-CoV-2 e os principais efeitos adversos relacionados ao uso irracional, compreendendo se o uso desses medicamentos deve ser aconselhado ou não. A revisão de literatura foi baseada em artigos científicos indexados nas bases de dados Pubmed e Portal de Periódicos Capes publicados nos últimos 3 anos, usando os descritores “Use of medicines”; “COVID-19”; “Self-medication” e “Rational use of”. A partir da análise de 27 artigos, verificou-se que muitos estudos in vitro e clínicos foram realizados, porém, mostram-se controversos. Dessa forma, o uso desses medicamentos de modo irracional, como vem ocorrendo, traz riscos à saúde. Torna-se necessário a existência de estudos clínicos mais complexos e sérios para que um resultado não conflitante seja levado como referência.
