INTRODUCTION
Self-medication practice among future prescribers can cause a serious threat to the health care profession. There has been an increasing trend among medical and dental students for self-medication. The objective of our study was to find the prevalence and practice of self-medication among dental undergraduates in Kantipur Dental College and Teaching Hospital.
METHODS
A descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted among all the dental undergraduate students of Kantipur Dental College, Kathmandu, from July to September 2018. Ethical clearance was obtained from the institutional review board. A convenience sampling method was used. A prevalidated questionnaire was handed to the students in their classroom to collect the data. The data were analyzed using Statistical Package for the Social Sciences version 16 and Microsoft Excel 2010 and presented as frequency and percentage.
RESULTS
The prevalence of self-medication among dental undergraduates was found to be in 150 (83.3%) out of a total of 180 students who participated in the study.
CONCLUSIONS
Self-medication was commonly practiced by dental students. Self-medication should be considered as a serious threat, especially among the students with inadequate knowledge of drug, dose, and duration of treatment.
