Exogenous intoxication is one of the main mechanisms used in suicide attempts in Brazil, making it a condition of weekly, compulsory notification. The aim of this study is to analyze the prevalence of suicide attempts induced by medication in the city of Salvador, Bahia from 2015 to 2019. This is an ecological study following a time-trend analysis. People who used pharmacological drugs that led to exogenous intoxication for the purpose of committing suicide were included and cases in which the attempt was successful were excluded. The data search was made on DATASUS and SUVISA, and the following data were collected race, sex, suicide attempt, detailed age, occupation, medication and city. 1418 victims of suicide attempts due to exogenous drug intoxication were reported in the years 2015 to 2019. Of this total, the prevalent demographic characteristics for victims of suicide attempt due to exogenous pharmacological intoxication were the female sex, brown race, age group from 20 to 34 years old, complete high school education, and students. With these findings, the present study aims to emphasize this condition of compulsory notification, since the reversal of these growing data requires the implementation of public policies and health programs that provide a greater awareness of the topic and access to trained professionals, in addition to the dissemination of information.(AU)
