  • Primary reasons for self-medication include convenience, cost-effectiveness, and reliance on previous experiences with medications.
  • A structured questionnaire was used to gather data from 200 randomly selected MBBS students at Multan Medical and Dental College.
  • The findings suggest a pressing need for policy measures and awareness campaigns to educate students on the risks of self-medication.
