“…[1][2][3] This practice is becoming more frequent and is considered a severe public health problem, not only in developed countries but also in developing countries, as the ease of purchase increases the problem, combined with the lack of the habit of self-care. 1,4 The use of a drug should be safe and effective, for which the consumer should identify the symptoms, therapeutic objectives, dosage and temporality of use of the drug, as well as be clear about the contraindications, comorbidities and adverse effects. The omission of this information leads to irrational and incorrect use of drugs, resulting in late or wrong diagnosis, wrong choice of treatment, inadequate dosage or administration, poor drug interaction, adverse reactions, drug resistance, development of comorbidities and, in severe cases, death.…”

“…The omission of this information leads to irrational and incorrect use of drugs, resulting in late or wrong diagnosis, wrong choice of treatment, inadequate dosage or administration, poor drug interaction, adverse reactions, drug resistance, development of comorbidities and, in severe cases, death. 1,2,[4][5][6] Currently, concepts have been established to differentiate between responsible self-medication and inappropriate selfmedication, the former refers to the consumption of over-thecounter drugs according to the instructions for use indicated on the package or the correct use of drugs approved by a medical professional, in order to involve the patient in their treatment. While inappropriate self-medication refers to the consumption of a medication that was not recommended by a health professional, that was used for a different purpose, sharing medication with a family member or friend or using medication with expired expiration date.…”

“…Específicamente el consumo de antibióticos sin prescripción médica genera resistencia bacteriana (18) La automedicación responsable y con conocimiento, podría ser ventajosa para el primer nivel de atención en salud; esto si la población fuese apropiadamente conocedora de las indicaciones, contraindicaciones y riesgos de la automedicación. Un estudio en la población de San Cristóbal de las Casas, Chiapas, México demostró que las personas no están debidamente informadas y un alto porcentaje no lee las instrucciones especificadas en los medicamentos que consumen (19). Aunque a veces se ven obligados a recurrir u optar a la práctica de automedicación por causas diversas como son: bajos recursos económico, desempleo o carencias del sector salud (20).…”
