Abstract
Objective: This study aims to evaluate how medical students perceive and use self-medication. We also intend to find how the prevalence varies between the pre-clinical (MBBS Year 1and 2) and clinical (MBBS Year 3,4 and 5) students. Material and Method: The study was carried out in Nishtar Medical University from Aug 2022 to Oct 2022. A total of 400 students, 200 preclinical and 200 clinical, were chosen through non probability convenient sampling and were asked to fill a pre designed questionnaire form to complete this cross-sectional study. Results: Comparison of the prevalence of self-medication in clinical and preclinical students exhibited a p value of 0.026, with 84.2 % clinical and 74.7% pre-clinical students practicing self-medications. Conclusion: It has been observed that medical students frequently perform self-medication in both their preclinical and clinical groups.
