Self-medication is the practice of using medications to treat symptoms or illnesses that have been self-diagnosed without consulting a doctor.
despite its contribution to lessening the demand for medical services, it carries a number of health concerns for individuals who use it.
research on this subject revealed that students in the health sciences continued to self-medicate and advocate for it in public.
accordingly, the aim of this study was to estimate the prevalence of self-medication and investigate factors associated with it.
a cross-sectional, questionnaire-based study was carried out to identify self-medication among undergraduate students at the college of medical technology, derna, libya.
the data were collected and analyzed for counts and percentages.
the study revealed that 64.72% of students reported self-medication practices in the preceding year.
moreover, self-medication practice was found more frequently in female students as compared to male students.
headache was the most frequently reported illness; commonly used drugs were antipyretics and analgesics; and the reason quoted was the disease's ease of prevention and cure.
this study shows that self-medication is widely practiced among college students.
there is a dire need to make students aware of the pros and cons of self-medication in order to ensure safe usage of medicines.
