Monitoring self-medication
Expert Opin Drug Saf.
2003 Jan.
Abstract
Self-medication, using non-prescription drugs, is beneficial to patients, healthcare professionals, the pharmaceutical industry and governments. Although many non-prescription medications are effective, misuse and abuse of these products can arise. Monitoring of specific populations and products, in addition to data recording and educating and informing patients, may go some way towards promoting safe and effective self-medication.
