Abstract

The high availability of medicines, polypharmacy and self-medication contribute to medicines being the main agents causing toxicological accidents. The objective of this research was to characterize the epidemiological profile of notifications of drug and plant poisoning in Maringá-Paraná between 2012 and 2022. This is an epidemiological study prepared based on data from the Department of Informatics of the Unified Health System and the System of Notifications Information. Illnesses. A total of 5,605 cases of exogenous drug poisoning and 138 cases of plant poisoning were reported in different age groups, with drug poisoning being the most prevalent, of which the largest number occurred between 20 and 39 years old (68%). There was a predominance of females (71%) and whites (49%). Suicide attempts were the most common cause among the circumstances analyzed (72.3%) and the majority of cases were cured without sequelae (96.8%). The characterization of the epidemiological profile of poisonings in Maringá showed a predominance of cases of white women, with average education and who intentionally caused the toxicological accident (suicide attempt). These findings point to the need for greater attention from health authorities and the implementation of public policies, especially mental health policies, capable of mitigating the risks associated with this important disease.
