  7. We came out from this questionnaire with the following results :

  8. The percentage of patient who are prescribing without seeking medical advice was 82% , and 18% were not.

  9. The common symptoms that they don’t seek medical advice for it are: • Headache 30% • Common cold 22% • Infections 19% • Cough 18% • Menstrual cramps4% • Allergy 4% • Toothache 3

  10. The common medications used without prescription are: • Analgesics 73% • Antibiotic 14% • Cough syrup 13% • Herbals 3%
