Abstract

Self-medication refers to self-prescription which includes diagnosing and treating one's own illness and prescribing for one's self. Though appropriate self-medication relieves acute symptoms, is time saving and economical, it should not be advocated because of more risks than benefits. Self-medication practices were found to vary in medical students of Nepal and India. This study was aimed to determine the prevalence of self-medication among medical students.
