Knowledge, Attitude and Practice of Self-Medication among Medical Students
Self-medication is a common practice worldwide and the irrational use of the drugs is a major
cause of concern. Self-medication is an issue with serious global implication. The current study aimed to
determine the Knowledge, Attitude and Behavior of self-medication by medical students. A descriptive crosssectional
study was conducted among medical students currently studying first year to assess knowledge,
attitude and practice regarding self-medication in Chitwan Medical College, Bharatpur, Nepal. Seventy five
students studying in first year were selected for the study using stratified random sampling technique and data
was collected using a semi-structured self-administered questionnaire. The study finding revealed, the mean age
of 75 enrolled students was 20 years, 65.3% were in the age group of 17-20 years. Most of them were female
(72%). Seventy three point three percent belong to urban area. Prevalence rate of self-medication of one year
period seems high i.e. 84% and 68.25% in were females. The most common sources of information used by the
respondent were pharmacist (60.31%) and text book (46.03%). More than half of the respondent found to have
a good knowledge about self-medication regarding definition, adverse effect and different types of drug. The
attitude was positive towards self-medication and favored self-medication saying that it was acceptable. The
principal morbidities for seeking self-medication include cold and cough as reported by 85.7% followed by pain
76.2%, fever 73%, diarrhea 47.6% and dysmenorrheal 46%. Drugs / drugs group commonly used for selfmedication
included analgesics 75.8%, and anta-acids 53.2% and antipyretic 46.3%. Among reasons for
seeking self-medication, 79.2% felt that their illness was minor while 61.9% preferred as it is due to previous
experience. This study shows that self-medication is widely practiced among first year students of this medical
institution. There is dire need to make them aware about the pros and cons of self-medication in order to ensure
safe usage of drugs.

To study self medication habits among people in nagpur part of central india
According to study conducted internationally, self-medication has been reported as being on the rise [1]. Self-medication is defined as the use or intake of any medication by a Patient on his own initiative or on the advice of a Pharmacist or a lay person instead of consulting a medical practitioner [1]. Study said that in India 3.5 billion health problems treated annually, 27% were treated with a non-prescription drug. Major problems related to self-medication is wastage of resources, increased resistance of Pathogens, and serious health hazards such as adverse reaction and prolonged suffering from disease. Antimicrobial resistance is a big problem worldwide particularly in developing countries where antibiotics are often available without a prescription [1]. Self-medication with drugs is an economical choice of treatment for common self-limiting illnesses [1]. Responsible self-medication can help, prevent and treat ailments that do not require medical consultation and reduce the pressure on medical services for the relief of minor ailments. [1]. Self-medication is the treatment of common health problems with medicines especially designed and labelled for use without medical supervision and approved as safe and effective for such use [1] Medicines for self-medication are often called ‘non-prescription’ or ‘Over The Counter’ (OTC) and are available without a doctor’s prescription through pharmacies.

This document discusses the issue of polypharmacy in older adults. Polypharmacy is defined as the concurrent use of multiple medications, which increases the risks of morbidity and mortality in older adults. Specifically, 30% of older adults see two or more physicians, 50% are prescribed five or more medications, and 41% of those aged 65+ are admitted to the hospital due to polypharmacy. Physiological effects in older adults include nonspecific complaints caused by drug interactions and toxicity that lead to increased morbidity and mortality. The Beers Criteria is presented as a clinical tool for nurses to evaluate inappropriate medications, excess dosages, and drug-disease interactions to avoid in older adults in order to reduce the risks of polypharmacy
Rational use of Otc medications
OTC drugs are medications that can be purchased without a prescription. They include pain relievers like acetaminophen and ibuprofen, cough and cold medicines, antacids, and allergy medications. OTC drugs are widely used in India, accounting for 55% of drugs consumed. While convenient and cheaper than prescription drugs, OTC medications still carry risks if not taken as directed or if combining multiple products with the same active ingredients. Proper use of OTC drugs requires carefully reading and following all label instructions.

Self-Medication: a Major Problem Worldwide that Could be Prevented_Crimson Pu...CrimsonPublishersDCMP
The use of medications without medical consultation is
referred as self-medication. These medications are often called
‘nonprescription’ or ‘over the counter’ (OTC) and are available
without a doctor’s prescription through pharmacies or are also
available in supermarkets and other outlets. So, self-medication is
an increasingly frequent phenomenon worldwide that is considered
a public health problem [1]. The indiscriminate consumption of
drugs entails disadvantages including decreasing clinical efficacy,
an increase in treatment durations and prolongation of recovery.
The patient self-medicates not only with OTC medications but also
with those medications sold under prescription. This behavior
induces the irrational use of medications. In the case of drugs that
require a prescription, it is very common for self-medication to be
reused after a previous prescription or purchased directly from
a pharmacy [2]. This reality is far from being a completely safe
practice, because self-medication can produce a series of health
risks that in many cases are unknown by population: toxicity (side
effects, adverse reactions and in some cases intoxication), lack
of effectiveness because they are used in situations where they
are not indicated, dependency or addiction, masking of serious
clinical processes, delay in diagnosis and interactions with other
medications or foods [3].Polypharmacy
Polypharmacy, defined as the use of 5 or more medications, is common in elderly patients due to multiple comorbidities. It can lead to negative outcomes like increased adverse drug reactions, costs, and non-adherence. Physicians should regularly review patients' medication profiles and deprescribe unnecessary medications. Pharmacists and patients also play a role in managing polypharmacy through medication reconciliation, education, and adherence support. Guidelines like the Beers Criteria provide guidance on potentially inappropriate medications in older adults. Controlling polypharmacy requires coordination between healthcare providers and patients.
Adverse Drug Reactions - Identifying, Causality & Reporting
This document discusses adverse drug reactions, including definitions, classifications, monitoring, documentation, and reporting. It defines an adverse drug reaction as an unintended response to a drug that occurs at normal doses. Adverse events are classified as serious if they result in death, hospitalization, disability, or required intervention. Adverse reactions are categorized as Type A or Type B. Monitoring involves identifying reactions, assessing causality using methods like the Naranjo algorithm, documenting in forms, and reporting serious reactions to authorities.
Adverse drug reactions
This document provides definitions and classifications of adverse drug reactions (ADRs). It defines key terms like adverse event, adverse drug reaction, and adverse drug event. It then discusses various classification schemes for ADRs based on factors like onset, type of reaction, severity, and more. Different types of ADRs are explained like Type A, B, C reactions as well as side effects, drug dependence, withdrawal reactions and more, along with examples. Overall, the document provides a comprehensive overview of definitions and classifications related to ADRs.
Polypharmacy
This document discusses polypharmacy, which is defined as the administration of many drugs simultaneously or an excessive number of drugs. Polypharmacy is common in elderly patients with multiple chronic conditions. It can be appropriate if all drugs achieve therapeutic objectives and minimize adverse effects, but is often inappropriate if drugs are unnecessary or cause harm. Tools like Beers Criteria, STOPP, and START can help identify inappropriate polypharmacy and guide deprescribing. The document outlines factors contributing to polypharmacy and consequences like adverse drug reactions, providing strategies to assess medication benefit-harm and safely discontinue unnecessary drugs.
OTC medication
This document discusses over-the-counter (OTC) medications. It defines OTC medications as medicines approved by regulatory authorities as being safe for self-medication of minor ailments without requiring a prescription. Some advantages of OTC medications are that they do not require a medical consultation, can save on consultation costs, and allow pharmacists to dispense them without a prescription. The document provides examples of common minor ailments and their associated OTC medications. It also outlines the procedure for switching a prescription medication to OTC status and criteria considered in this process. Finally, it discusses the role of community pharmacists in counseling patients on proper OTC medication use and antibiotic resistance.
Polypharmacy full guidance v2
This document provides guidance on reviewing polypharmacy, which is the use of multiple medications. It is important to review polypharmacy because many elderly patients are on multiple drugs but around half may not be taken as prescribed and adverse drug reactions are common, especially with more comorbidities rather than age. The guidance aims to help practitioners review medications and potentially deprescribe those where risks outweigh benefits by providing tools and considerations. Key points are identifying high-risk patients for review, focusing on certain drug classes, and balancing multiple treatment guidelines for individual patient circumstances through comprehensive medication reviews.

Polypharmacy
This document summarizes a study on polypharmacy among patients in South India. The study defined polypharmacy as using 2-4 drugs as minor polypharmacy and 5 or more drugs as major polypharmacy. It found that 59.82% of patients had major polypharmacy, occurring most in cardiovascular diseases. Polypharmacy was more prevalent in males and in ages 19-60 years. Hospital stays were longer for major polypharmacy. The study suggests simplifying treatment regimens by eliminating unnecessary drugs and dosages to reduce problems from polypharmacy.
Self medication -diapos
This document discusses self-medication and how it can lead to addiction. It notes that self-medication involves taking medications without a prescription and defines it as medicating oneself without a doctor's guidance. Certain drugs used for self-medication, like opioids, can cause dependence with long-term use and abuse. The document then presents a case study of a man who started using cocaine to treat his migraine headaches but became addicted, eventually spending $1000 every two weeks on the drug. His treatment involved therapy and prescribing alternative medications to manage his headaches.
The dangers of Self-Medication
Self-Medication is dangerous. Self-Medication may lead to Misdiagnosis of an illness, Drug interactions, Insufficient dosage, Habituation, Allergic reactions, etc. Patients should should not Self-Medicate and consult a doctor to avoid these hazards.

The patient self-medicates not only with OTC medications but also
with those medications sold under prescription. This behavior
induces the irrational use of medications. In the case of drugs that
require a prescription, it is very common for self-medication to be
reused after a previous prescription or purchased directly from
a pharmacy [2]. This reality is far from being a completely safe
practice, because self-medication can produce a series of health
risks that in many cases are unknown by population: toxicity (side
effects, adverse reactions and in some cases intoxication), lack
of effectiveness because they are used in situations where they
are not indicated, dependency or addiction, masking of serious
clinical processes, delay in diagnosis and interactions with other
medications or foods [3].Polypharmacy
Polypharmacy, defined as the use of 5 or more medications, is common in elderly patients due to multiple comorbidities. It can lead to negative outcomes like increased adverse drug reactions, costs, and non-adherence. Physicians should regularly review patients' medication profiles and deprescribe unnecessary medications. Pharmacists and patients also play a role in managing polypharmacy through medication reconciliation, education, and adherence support. Guidelines like the Beers Criteria provide guidance on potentially inappropriate medications in older adults. Controlling polypharmacy requires coordination between healthcare providers and patients.
Adverse Drug Reactions - Identifying, Causality & Reporting
This document discusses adverse drug reactions, including definitions, classifications, monitoring, documentation, and reporting. It defines an adverse drug reaction as an unintended response to a drug that occurs at normal doses. Adverse events are classified as serious if they result in death, hospitalization, disability, or required intervention. Adverse reactions are categorized as Type A or Type B. Monitoring involves identifying reactions, assessing causality using methods like the Naranjo algorithm, documenting in forms, and reporting serious reactions to authorities.
Adverse drug reactions
This document provides definitions and classifications of adverse drug reactions (ADRs). It defines key terms like adverse event, adverse drug reaction, and adverse drug event. It then discusses various classification schemes for ADRs based on factors like onset, type of reaction, severity, and more. Different types of ADRs are explained like Type A, B, C reactions as well as side effects, drug dependence, withdrawal reactions and more, along with examples. Overall, the document provides a comprehensive overview of definitions and classifications related to ADRs.
Polypharmacy
This document discusses polypharmacy, which is defined as the administration of many drugs simultaneously or an excessive number of drugs. Polypharmacy is common in elderly patients with multiple chronic conditions. It can be appropriate if all drugs achieve therapeutic objectives and minimize adverse effects, but is often inappropriate if drugs are unnecessary or cause harm. Tools like Beers Criteria, STOPP, and START can help identify inappropriate polypharmacy and guide deprescribing. The document outlines factors contributing to polypharmacy and consequences like adverse drug reactions, providing strategies to assess medication benefit-harm and safely discontinue unnecessary drugs.
OTC medication
This document discusses over-the-counter (OTC) medications. It defines OTC medications as medicines approved by regulatory authorities as being safe for self-medication of minor ailments without requiring a prescription. Some advantages of OTC medications are that they do not require a medical consultation, can save on consultation costs, and allow pharmacists to dispense them without a prescription. The document provides examples of common minor ailments and their associated OTC medications. It also outlines the procedure for switching a prescription medication to OTC status and criteria considered in this process. Finally, it discusses the role of community pharmacists in counseling patients on proper OTC medication use and antibiotic resistance.
Polypharmacy full guidance v2
This document provides guidance on reviewing polypharmacy, which is the use of multiple medications. It is important to review polypharmacy because many elderly patients are on multiple drugs but around half may not be taken as prescribed and adverse drug reactions are common, especially with more comorbidities rather than age. The guidance aims to help practitioners review medications and potentially deprescribe those where risks outweigh benefits by providing tools and considerations. Key points are identifying high-risk patients for review, focusing on certain drug classes, and balancing multiple treatment guidelines for individual patient circumstances through comprehensive medication reviews.

Polypharmacy
This document summarizes a study on polypharmacy among patients in South India. The study defined polypharmacy as using 2-4 drugs as minor polypharmacy and 5 or more drugs as major polypharmacy. It found that 59.82% of patients had major polypharmacy, occurring most in cardiovascular diseases. Polypharmacy was more prevalent in males and in ages 19-60 years. Hospital stays were longer for major polypharmacy. The study suggests simplifying treatment regimens by eliminating unnecessary drugs and dosages to reduce problems from polypharmacy.

Diabetes Self Management
The secret to managing Diabetes doesn't come in a pill. In most cases, simple lifestyle changes including diet and exercise will do the trick.
Treating, or managing, diabetes is a process of finding a balance. The root causes of the disease — insulin resistance and low insulin production — are slightly different in each person. The role each plays in the development of diabetes is different for each person.
So what works to control glucose levels in one person may not work in another. For one person, managing the disease may be as simple as changing diet and becoming more physically active. Whereas, another patient may need to take medication, a combination of medications, or even insulin to control their blood glucose levels. Finding the right balance is a process.
After diagnosing diabetes, a doctor will usually recommend a patient begin exercising and lose weight. These should continue for life. Metformin, an oral medication, will usually be given to the patient soon after diagnosis.
If after three months a patient’s blood-sugar level has not stabilized, a doctor may prescribe a second or different medication.
Self Medication In Students’ Population
Self Medication In Students’ PopulationMedical Schools University Maribor and University Ljubljana, Nursing Science University Primorska
This survey of 1294 students found that over 90% practice self-medication. The most common reasons for self-medicating included having mild problems and not needing a doctor. Herbal tea, vitamins, minerals and non-prescription drugs were the most used treatments. Students reported self-treating common symptoms like headaches, coughs, fatigue without medical guidance. While students had some understanding of appropriate self-medication lengths, over 25% would self-treat all symptoms, which is a concern. The results provide insight despite limitations in response rates and access.Diabetes Self-Management Education
Diabetes self-management education (DSME) aims to provide patients with the tools to control their disease, but does not always result in long-term self-management or blood sugar control. This document reviews evidence on comprehensive and multi-disciplinary DSME approaches. Studies show elements like proactive coping skills, goal setting, and peer support can improve outcomes more than traditional education. The author proposes developing a DSME program including these elements, training nurses, and evaluating its ability to help patients better manage their diabetes through self-care behaviors and metabolic control.

Community pharmacists can play an important role in improving public health by providing evidence-based advice and services. This includes promoting healthy behaviors, preventing disease, identifying health issues, and supporting those with long-term conditions. The evidence shows pharmacists are well-positioned for this work given their accessibility and the frequent contact the public has with pharmacies. However, pharmacists need more support to take a holistic, proactive approach to public health rather than just reacting to issues related to medicines. Priority areas for pharmacists to provide brief lifestyle advice include physical activity, weight management, diet, nutrition, smoking, and alcohol.

【业务选择办理准则】
一、工作未确定，回国需先给父母、亲戚朋友看下文凭的情况，办理一份就读学校的毕业证【微信：A575476】文凭即可
二、回国进私企、外企、自己做生意的情况，这些单位是不查询毕业证真伪的，而且国内没有渠道去查询国外文凭的真假，也不需要提供真实教育部认证。鉴于此，办理一份毕业证【微信：A575476】即可
三、进国企，银行，事业单位，考公务员等等，这些单位是必需要提供真实教育部认证的，办理教育部认证所需资料众多且烦琐，所有材料您都必须提供原件，我们凭借丰富的经验，快捷的绿色通道帮您快速整合材料，让您少走弯路。
留信网认证的作用:
1:该专业认证可证明留学生真实身份
2:同时对留学生所学专业登记给予评定
3:国家专业人才认证中心颁发入库证书
4:这个认证书并且可以归档倒地方
5:凡事获得留信网入网的信息将会逐步更新到个人身份内，将在公安局网内查询个人身份证信息后，同步读取人才网入库信息
6:个人职称评审加20分
7:个人信誉贷款加10分
8:在国家人才网主办的国家网络招聘大会中纳入资料，供国家高端企业选择人才
→ 【关于价格问题（保证一手价格）
我们所定的价格是非常合理的，而且我们现在做得单子大多数都是代理和回头客户介绍的所以一般现在有新的单子 我给客户的都是第一手的代理价格，因为我想坦诚对待大家 不想跟大家在价格方面浪费时间
对于老客户或者被老客户介绍过来的朋友，我们都会适当给一些优惠。
选择实体注册公司办理，更放心，更安全！我们的承诺：可来公司面谈，可签订合同，会陪同客户一起到教育部认证窗口递交认证材料，客户在教育部官方认证查询网站查询到认证通过结果后付款，不成功不收费！
