Abstract: Schistosomiasis is a neglected waterborne disease caused by worms of the genus Schistosoma and is transmitted by snails of the genus Biomphalaria. Man is the definitive host and treatment is carried out with the drugs oxamniquine and praziquantel, exclusive to the Unified Health System (SUS). Some patients do not receive proper treatment due to failures in the health system such as underreporting, lack of health professionals or even negligence on the part of patients in seeking treatment. It is important, and it is up to health professionals such as pharmacists, to clarify the severity of the disease, raise awareness about the importance of prevention and seeking treatment offered by the SUS. With the aim of studying the use of schistomicides for the treatment of schistosomiasis, evaluating the risk factors that are associated with the disease and the role of the pharmacist in combating and treating reported cases, the systematic bibliographical research study method was adopted, with the exploratory technique and qualitative approach. Although the literature proves that treatment with the first-choice medication, praziquantel, is effective, there is a portion of the population that does not receive the correct treatment due to a failure to compromise surveillance and public power. Praziquantel, as the only treatment drug, has disadvantages as it is not effective in all cases of the disease and has no influence on cases of relapse/reinfection. Of the 29 articles selected, 62.06% are related to consultations in databases in combat programs such as DATASUS, 6.8% to surveys made using SANAR data, 13.79% to risk factors, 10, 34% to studies involving oxamniquine derivatives, 3.44% to new diagnostic methods and 3.44% to new therapies in the pre-clinical and clinical phase.
