- W3136373194 abstract "Introduction: Since the discovery of penicillin by Alexander Fleming in 1928, antibiotics have been used widely and successfully in the treatment of various infectious diseases. However, in recent years, it is in-creasingly common for bacteria to become resistant to one or more pharmaceutical substances and on multiple occasions, there have been numerous reports for multidrug resistant strains. Some of the explanations for this fact include over-prescription of antibiotics by general practitioners, poor compliance by patients, as well as self-medication. Aim: To collect information for the treatment habits of the Bulgarian city population, including evaluation of the level of their compliance and willingness to self-medicate. Materials and Methods: A specially designed online questionnaire was applied as well as face-to-face interviews with an identical paper-based questionnaire. The data were processed statistically. Results: A medium percent of the interviewed population reported use of an antibiotic agent in the last 12 months, and about 20 percent of those reported self-medication. In general, patients who had consulted a doctor and had acquired a prescription showed a high level of compliance. Medication was obtained mainly through a community pharmacy, and information on therapeutic effects and dosage regimen was provided primarily by a physician, followed by pharmacists, patient information leaflets and the Internet. Conclusions: The reported high compliance level suggests a good probability for positive therapeutic outcome, while self-medication can lead to side effects, poor therapeutic outcome, as well as development of resistant microorganisms. A larger and more comprehensive survey will provide deeper insight into patients’ treatment habits and can investigate the influence of various socio-economic factors in patients’ decision for self-medication." @default.
