Objective: To know the prevalence, medications used, and main reasons behind self-medication among nursing students at a higher education institution. Methods: Descriptive cross-sectional study, with a quantitative approach and a sample of 126 students enrolled in the nursing undergraduate course of a public institution. Data were collected by applying a structured questionnaire made available on a cell phone app and analyzed using descriptive statistics. Results: The students were between 18 and 25 years old (85.7%), women (92.9%), and lived with their relatives (86.5%). A high self-medication rate (99.2%) was found, and the prevailing drug class was pain killers (28.7%), used to obtain quick pain relief (88.1%) and taken according to the students’ own knowledge (73.8%). Conclusion: The high prevalence of self-medication places these students’ health at risk and stresses the need to implement public policies to raise awareness of the rational use of medications.
