Self-medication with antibiotics in a Swedish general population.

Emma Svensson1, Flora M Haaijer-Ruskamp, Cecilia Stålsby Lundborg.   

Abstract

To assess the extent of antibiotic self-medication in a Swedish population, a postal questionnaire was distributed to 1000 randomly selected subjects. The antibiotics used were in all but 3 cases reported to have been obtained with a prescription. Thus, prescribers are the primary target for interventions to optimize antibiotic use.
