May 2022
Article Synopsis
- * A literature review identified nine studies showing that self-treatment prevalence with antibiotics ranged from 20.8% to 45.8%, driven by factors like cost-saving, fear of COVID-19, quarantine, and easy access.
- * Findings indicate that while self-treatment increased during the pandemic, it was reportedly less common than before; the study suggests implementing stricter regulations on antibiotic dispensing and boosting public awareness on the issue.
