The simultaneous polydrug use is a topic that diversifies and increase complexity in the drug phenomenon in our contemporary society. We conducted a quantitative cross-sectional study, in order to describe patterns of simultaneous polydrug use of psychoactive substances, within a sample of 975 undergraduate students in health sciences, at one university in Cundinamarca, Colombia. We observed a high rate of report in simultaneous poly drug use, especially the combination of alcohol-tobacco. We identified different behaviors related to starting age, occasion for consumption, academic year, substances used, and the transition from single to poly drug use. We recommended the inclusion of this topic in training of health care human resources and in further research.
