Resumen

Con la pandemia del COVID-19 surgió la necesidad de buscar medicamentos para el tratamiento y la prevención de la enfermedad. En consecuencia, algunos medicamentos fueron reutilizados. Así, el presente estudio tuvo como objetivo realizar una revisión de los fármacos cloroquina, hidroxicloroquina e ivermectina, destacando los mecanismos de acción, los estudios que demuestran -o no- su eficacia va al SARS-CoV-2 y los principales efectos adversos relacionados con el uso irracional, entendiendo si se debe aconsejar o no el uso de estos fármacos. La revisión de la literatura se basó en artículos científicos indexados en las bases de datos Pubmed y Portal of Capes Journals publicados en los últimos 3 años, utilizando los descriptores "Uso de medicamentos"; "COVID-19"; "Automedicación" y "Uso racional de". A partir del análisis de 27 artículos, se encontró que se realizaron muchos estudios in vitro y clínicos, sin embargo, son controvertidos. Así, el uso de estos fármacos de forma irracional, como ha estado ocurriendo, conlleva riesgos para la salud. Es necesario contar con estudios clínicos más complejos y serios en caso de que se tome como referencia un resultado no conflictivo.
