Resumo: Health care can be offered in many ways, historically it has moved from an unscientific model, linked to magic and spirituality, to a healing, scientific and biomedical model. This model was accompanied by the increase in the consumption of medicines, procedures and interventions, which were considered necessary for health care to be considered good and we started to medicalize some processes that can be considered natural in life. Medicalization is the process in which human problems are defined and treated as medical, in a reductionist, individualistic and technological way. This study aims to understand the medicalization of childhood health care through the analysis of recordings of pediatric medical consultations of a public primary care service. The health demands were divided into: routine consultation of healthy children, child care, demand for medicines and laboratory tests (check ups) and demand for behavioral drugs, which were analyzed from the point of view of quaternary prevention, commodification of health, expropriation of health, pharmaceutical industry and medicalization of life
