Abstract This study aimed to describe health education actions and analyze the pharmacotherapeutic profile of students from youth and adult education. This is a study that analyzes the contributions of educative health actions focused on a class Cycle I, consisting of 24 students, aged 21 to 62 years, enrolled in an educational public institution in the city of João Pessoa, Paraíba, Brazil. In characterizing the pharmacological profile, five drug interactions were identified among the drugs used by them, especially those with no prescription, indicating the occurrence of self-medication. The classes of drugs most used by the group were: anti-hypertensive, benzodiazepines, analgesics, non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs and proton pump inhibitors. The activities performed in health education actions were centralized on self-care, focusing the impact on the quality of life of these students.
