The increasing trend of administering nonprescribed medicines in children is a significant public health issue.
The aim of the present study was to assess the use of medication without a prescription (MWP), including both nonprescribed medication (NPM) and prescription-only medication (POM), and identify associated factors, among preschoolers in Athens, Greece.
A predesigned questionnaire was distributed to parents from May through June 2011.
Multivariable binary logistic regression analysis models were used to assess associations of interest.
Results showed that 95.1% of parents reported administering at least one MWP, during the previous 12 months.
Antipyretics (91%) were the most commonly NPM and bronchodilators (24.8%) and antibiotics (16.4%) the most common POM dispensed.
Child’s increased age group, lack of parental information, higher paternal education, and mother’s foreign nationality were associated with increased antipyretic use (p<0.05), while father’s foreign nationality and parental age were positive predictors of antibiotic administration (p<0.05).
The likelihood of consuming antipyretics and antibiotics significantly increased when information was provided by a pharmacist (p=0.017 and p=0.054, resp.).
Conclusively, most parents have administered at least one MWP, including antibiotics, to address symptoms of common childhood diseases, highlighting the need of information campaigns concerning the consequences of their improper use.
