Journal Title: IOSR Journal of Pharmacy and Biological Sciences (IOSR-JPBS) - Year 2019, Vol 14, Issue 1
Abstract
Self-medication of antibiotics is becoming a common type of self-care behavior among the population of many countries. Unwanted use and vague use of antibiotics have led to a bigger problem, which is drug resistance. A large scale study in the students of this kind has never been carried out in the students at Bengaluru. Our study aims to learn the self-medication patterns with antibiotics in students and create awareness about the darker side of its misuse which leads to the rise of superbugs.This prospective observational study was conducted in students of various education backgrounds. Thisstudy also points out the various reasons and causes of self-medication among the students. Hence forth the above study showed that self-medication is very prevalent among the students and is practiced as it is more convenient than meeting a health care practitioner.
