In the last one decade patient understanding of self-medication develop many fold result in high sales volume of OTC.

Recently I saw a poster outside the chamber patient misuse of medicine and highlighting dangerous of self-medication. Due to different social and economic compulsion a large number of patient with a little knowledge of medicine practising self-medication. Self-medication growing trend is a dangerous trend can affect the treatment process in a different way. First, it is the indirect dishonour of the Doctor who sacrifices their life in developing the best available medicine combination for the patient. Second high usage of antibiotics developing resistance and can be limiting the future option of treatment. Despite many times assurance by the government no action is taken to stop over the counter sale of the important drug.
