The use of unprescribed medicine in Warsaw during the years 1970-1980

OJ Szyllejko

The author discusses the results of surveys conducted in Warsaw, concerning the extent of use of unprescribed medicine from 1970-1980. Drug use did not increase over the decade studied, and most respondents took the medication to treat particular complaints. No correlation was found between self-medication and social or occupational status. Respondents often began using unprescribed drugs on the recommendation of a doctor; self-medication, while widespread, does not imply a negative attitude toward health professionals or the existing system of medical care.
