Abstract: Resumo: O consumo do metilfenidato vem atingindo níveis elevados no Brasil. Além do aumento significativo do diagnóstico de TDAH, transtorno cujo tratamento é realizado com metilfenidato, há indícios que este incremento se deu pela automedicação. Sabe-se que informações da internet, mais especificamente do Facebook, exercem forte influência em padrões de uso, apontando importantes desdobramentos do processo de farmaceuticalização da sociedade.

“…On the other hand, as recent studies have shown, there has also been an expressive increase in the use of methylphenidate in Brazil unrelated to the diagnosis of ADHD.

There is still not enough data to understand the extent and impact of methylphenidate pharmaceuticalization in the country, but several scholars insist that it is a social and ethical problem that requires further investigation and action by the regulatory agencies of drug dispensation (Coutinho et al, 2017;Esher and Coutinho, 2017;Lima et al, 2019;Castro, 2020). Both phenomena, medicalization of ADHD and off-label use of methylphenidate, highlight the challenges imposed by the globalization of ADHD and the importance of ethically informed and ecologically sensitive clinical practices (Singh et al, 2013).…”
