Abstract

The patient can get the drugs by three ways: by prescriptions, self-medication or pharmaceutical statement. Usually with the prescription purchase or acquire any medication, but will pass through the hands of the pharmacist who will advise you on the medication correctly without risk, which is the best way to get the medicine. Self-medication happens when there is no counseling by a health professional, pharmaceutical indication occurs when the pharmacist advises right medication, not subject to prescription before complaints and pains. Thus, the aim of this study was to understand the importance of pharmaceutical guidance on self-medication and the correct use of over the counter drugs (MIPs) for the welfare of the individual.
