In-home drug storage and utilization habits: a Sudanese study
1Faculty of Pharmacy, University of Gezira, Wad Medani, Sudan.
Abstract:
Community drug-use habits were studied in 469 household units in different areas of Sudan. About 97.7% of the investigated families had at least one drug product stored at home. The study revealed a high rate of self-medication (46.9%), repeated use of unfinished stored drugs (55.0%), a high rate of drug exchange among families (59.3%) and poor compliance (71.2%). In Sudan there is still a great need to educate and to motivate the general public regarding the principles of rational drug use in order to safeguard health and avoid economic losses.
