Abstract
(1) Simultaneous recording of doctor/patient contacts and chemists' sales were made during a period of two weeks in a small self-contained community.(2) The conclusion of previous studies, using different methods, that non-prescribed medicines are taken twice as often as those prescribed by doctors, is confirmed.(3) The possibility that self-medication may conceal the onset of serious disease is discussed.Entities:
