Self‐medication with antibiotics in the Republic of Srpska community pharmacies: pharmacy staff behavior
Self‐medication with antibiotics adds to the global risk of increased spread of bacterial resistance. Attitudes and behavior of health professionals also may reinforce self‐medication with antibiotics. The aim of this study was to determine whether self‐medication with antibiotics is possible in our community pharmacies and to what extent, and to evaluate the behavior and service of pharmacy health professionals regarding non‐prescription antibiotic dispensation.
