ResumoResponsible self-medication (SM) can save time, money, reduce the number of visits to the doctor, and alleviate pressure on health services. However, while there are clear benefits, SM also carries significant risks, such as increased drug side effects, inappropriate use of prescription drugs, drug interactions, misdiagnosis, drug dependence, masking of medical conditions, and antibiotic resistance.
