| Abstract | Results: Of the 464 respondents, 151 (32.6%) were female and 313 (67.4%) were male. Overall, 389 (84%) participants consumed OTC medications. The commonly consumed OTC drugs were supplements and vitamins followed by painkillers, flu/ cough remedies and sore throat products. The OTC medications were most frequently bought from pharmacies. Easy access, convenience and time saving were the most frequent reasons for selfmedication. Of the study participants, 74 were on regular prescription medications and half of them were unsure or disagreed that OTC drugs could interfere with the regular prescription drugs. |
