Self-medication in medical students in urban India: Exploring the extent of this dangerous practice.

This is in keeping with the data found in the pan-India study conducted in New Delhi.[ 11 ] However, studies in Mangalore[ 6 ] and Sasaram[ 14 ] concluded that there was a preponderance of male medical students practising self-medication over female medical students, while in coastal South India, females were found to be practising self-medication at a significantly larger scale than males.[ 3 ] It can be concluded here that the practice of self-medication in medical students does not follow an established trend when it comes to gender and that it is a uniformly widespread practice.
