to analyze the practice of self-medication and the associated factors in the riverside population of the Middle Solimões river region - Amazon rainforest.

the prevalence of self-medication among the riverside population was 76.3%. Analgesics and antibacterials were the main therapeutic classes used in self-medication. Self-medication proved to be associated with the male gender, young people, not having sought the health service in the last month, longer commuting from the community to the urban area and the habit of consuming allopathic medicines on their own.
