ABSTRACT
With the pandemic emergence of the SARS-COV-2 in 2019, many doubts and uncertainties arose about the COVID-19 disease, many of them due to the thousands of fake-News, lack of information, little scientific research to prove the unfolding of what actually it would happen, from the symptoms, the forms of contagion, how each organism would react to the virus, about the effectiveness of masks and social isolation, but mainly about the treatments against the new coronavirus. With all these doubts, some measures were taken to try to alleviate and resolve the situation;the so-called "Kit-Covid" (containing medicines, among them antibiotics) and currently not recommended by the Ministry of Health, was one of the controversial measures that took place in Brazil. The recommendation to use drugs without scientifically proven efficacy against the symptoms of COVID-19 caused sales of antimicrobial drugs to double in different parts of the country, including the city of Nanuque, MG, as demonstrated in this study. This increase in the use of antibiotics is worrying, as it increases the probability of cases of microbial resistance, transforming common bacteria into possible superbugs, making it necessary to use increasingly potent antibiotics.
