 abstract = {Objective: To characterize the profile of drug poisoning reported in a Toxicological Information Center of Piauí in the period from 2007 to 2012. Method: Data were collected through questionnaires of the National Poisoning Information System, through the analysis of the records of drug intoxication reported in the period 2007-2012 by the Toxicological Information Center of Piauí and were analyzed using the programs Microsoft Excel 2007 and GraphPad Prism 5. Results: There were 503 drug poisonings, which were more frequent in females, children and young adults in urban areas. Individual accidents and suicide attempts were the mains causes and benzodiazepines were the most common drugs. Conclusion: The data found in this study are consistent with results from other Brazilian studies onthe subject.},
