Legal Aspect Of Self Medication

Abstract

In recent times, there have been expressions of public
concern about the rising incidence of drug abuse in
the country. The topic for this symposium which is
"$elf Medication" is therefore very appropriate as
most of the points to be raised will go a long way in
throwing some light on this growing social menace.
Before tackling the subject, l would like to thank the
organizers of this symposium for the honour done me
by inviting me to speak on this very delicate subject
which is of great interest to members of the Health
Teams—the Physicians, Pharmacists, Nurses, Chemists,
other para-medicals, Pharmaceutical Industries, Hospital
Administrators and the public in general. I would also
like to stress that I am speaking neither for the Federal
Ministry of Health nor for the Pharmaceutical Society
of Nigeria. All l will say are my personal views as a
Pharmacist.
