Nonprescription drugs and self-medication of diarrhoea and constipation

Publication |
2011

Abstract

At a time when the WHO puts an emphasis on every individual's responsibility for their health, self-medication can be considered a positive part of an individual's health behaviour. Diarrhoea and constipation are common symptoms for which the patients visit a pharmacy during self-medication.

The pharmacist and pharmaceutical assistant should be the ones to guarantee safe and effective self-medication.
