  • Descrição: Objective: To analyze the self-reported knowledge and behavior on the disposal of medicines. Method: A cross-sectional study with data collected through a questionnaire in May 2017, in the city of Picos-PI, with a sample of 153 residences. Results: Regarding the self-reported knowledge, 139 (90.8%) stated that they had knowledge about environmental risk, 144 (94.1%) reported having no knowledge of the appropriate disposal site. 104 (68.0%) admit that the way they dispose of medicines in the environment poses some individual risk and 118 (77.1%) perceive the existence of a collective risk. Regarding the behavior, 107 (69.9%) stated that they had discarded medication due to the fact that the expiration date had expired, and the majority stated that they disposed of 124 (81.0%) in the original packaging and household waste.
