Self-medication is the major trend observed globally. Inadvertent consequences of self-medication include adverse drug reactions, incorrect dosage, and drug dependence to cite a few. A few of the common explanations fostering selfmedication are formal education, family, availability of drugs and exposure to medical websites that provide information on diseases and health conditions. Patient prescriptions of friends and family are other sources utilized for obtaining over the table medicines. This short study is focused on the awareness of self-medication among patients and its potential adverse reactions.
