The COVID-19 pandemic and the circulation of fake news, called fake news in digital media, intensified the practice of self-medication. In this scenario, the project Imuno Teach of the Federal University of Ceará works in high school and professional schools in Fortaleza-CE, developing education and health promotion activities. Objective: To report the experience of an activity carried out remotely at the Presidente Roosevelt high school and professional school, located in Fortaleza – CE. Methodology: The activity took place on April 7, 2021 using the Google Meet digital platform. In the educational action, the following themes were discussed: risks of self-medication, self-medication in the context of the pandemic and fake news involving the use of medication. At the end, a satisfaction form prepared using the Google Forms tool was made available, to assess the topics discussed and the degree of student satisfaction with the activity. Results: A total of 26 first, second and third year high school students completed the satisfaction form. The platform used in the remote activity was rated as satisfactory by 100% of the students. Thematic, clarity in the approach and the ability to contextualize the subject with daily life: excellent (85%) and good (15%); ability to innovate in the topic addressed: excellent (89%) and good (11%); interest in following the project' s social networks: excellent (54%), good (38%) and regular (8%).
