Abstract

In the current context, the media, such as the internet, disseminate information on studies of experimental treatments for COVID-19, triggering self-medication. The objective was to present the influence of social media against self-measurement during the COVID-19 pandemic. This is a literature review, carried out in the databases: SciELO and PubMed, using the descriptors: Fake News, Self-medicine, COVID-19, Social media and Risk, combined by the Boolean operator “AND”. Publications between January and June 2020 were selected in English. It was found that social media is configured as a source of information information during the pandemic. The population obtains knowledge about therapies, from digital media, favoring self-medication. Measures such as monitoring information shared on the networks and greater caution by professionals when disseminating findings are essential to minimize the risks caused by self-medication.
