Abstract
Abstract:- This study explores the phenomenon of self-medication among undergraduate pharmacy students, aiming to assess their perceptions and the extent of this practice. A comprehensive investigation was conducted to understand the factors influencing self-medication behaviours within this unique demographic. The research employed a mixed-methods approach, combining surveys and qualitative interviews to gather in- depth insights. Findings indicate varying perceptions among pharmacy students regarding self-medication, shedding light on the prevalence and reasons behind such practices. Additionally, the study examines the impact of academic knowledge and awareness of potential risks on the self-medication trends within this cohort. The outcomes contribute to a nuanced understanding of self-medication patterns among pharmacy students, emphasizing the need for targeted educational interventions and healthcare policies tailored to this specific group. The fundamentals of medication management encompass the storage, ordering, dispensing, and administration of medications, with each step being crucial for maximizing the benefits of the medicines. Nevertheless, global prevalence of self-medication often undermines these principles. Self-administration of medication involves individuals using a medicine or drug to address symptoms or diagnosed disorders. It is an Individual’s initiative to take medicines without consulting a doctor and commonly used to gain personal independence and autonomy to treat minor illness. Its prevalence in developing countries is significantly high and ranges from 12.7% to 95%. This review examines self-medication practices among students of various health-care course
