In this study the most prevalent reasons for requesting drugs without prescriptions were determined. Methods: This study was performed by a descriptive profile complete for 300 people from the pharmacies in Kerman province. Findings: The answer to the first question of profile “Why do you want a drug without prescription?”, are: I have used this drug before, it was effective, I have the same disease now and I want to buy the same drug in 51% of cases, “I can’t afford the doctor’s visit” in 20.6%, I know what the doctor will prescribe me and I don’t want to pay the doctor in 8.3%, I am a doctor for me in 4.7%, the stence of open markets for drugs in 3.6%, “The doctor will prescribe and drug I ask him to”, in 2.3%, “I am very sick, and I can’t go to the doctor” in 2%, “I am a traveler” in 2%, “Without prescription is easier” in 1.7%, “The pharmacies do not dispense all the prescribed drug by the physician” in 1.7%, “I haven’t brought the prescription” in 0.7% and “What ever the doctor prescribes, the pharmacies give the similar one”, in 0.7% of cases. The frequency of answers to the second question “Why don’t you consult with a doctor are”: “I can’t afford the prescription fees” in 32.4% of cases, “I don’t have time to go to a doctor” in 23.7%, “I know what the doctor prescribes me and so I don’t want to pay the doctor” in 15.7%, “My family doctor has gone on trip” in 6.7%, “It is difficult to consult good doctor because they are busy” in 6.7%, “I am ill in bed and I can’t a doctor” in 5%, “I am a doctor for me” in 4%, “The doctor will prescribe me whatever I ask” in 3%, “I have taken this drug before, it was effective I have the same illness” in 1.6%, “It is more comfortable and easier without prescription” in 1.3% and “Whatever the doctor prescribes the pharmacies give the similar ones” in 0.6% of cases. Conclusion: Based on these results, it is necessary to pay more attention to the various reasons of requesting drug without prescription.MR HeidariM Karami NejadM Rezaei FarE Rezaei DastjerdiBabol University of Medical Sciencesarticledrug without prescriptionpharmacymedicineMedicineRMedicine (General)R5-920ENFAMajallah-i Dānishgāh-i ̒Ulūm-i Pizishkī-i Bābul, Vol 1, Iss 4, Pp 32-37 (1999) |
