Abstract
Objective: To carry out an integrative review of the literature on the use of drugs in the management of COVID-19 caused by the new coronavirus. Methods: A systematic literature review of publications on COVID-19 and associated treatment in the Scientific Electronic Library Online (SciElo) and Publication of Medicine (PubMed) databases was performed, using inclusion criteria for the collection of articles and descriptors “COVID” and “Medicament”. Results: Six articles were found in SciElo, after the criterion of time cut none was excluded, however, after thematic criterion, only one (1) article was chosen for analysis. Already analyzing PubMed, 5,225 results were found and among these, 2,200 were found after the time cut criterion, 1,173 after full text criterion at no cost to the authors of these, 76 continued in the selection process after going through the subject and thematic criterion and, finally, 18 were found with a higher level of relevance within PubMed. Final considerations: Several studies have been found that attempt to associate medications with cure rates, however it was not possible to find conclusive research that associated a drug related to the cure of COVID-19.
