Abstract(s)

Self-medication allows individuals to treat minor health issues without a medical prescription, facilitated by the availability of over-the-counter (OTC) medicines (May, L., Schaefer, M., & Tamburro, C., 2023). This practice requires healthcare professionals, particularly pharmacists, to play a key role in ensuring the safe and rational use of medicines (Pacha et al., 2023). Objectives: This study aimed to understand the motivations behind self-medication in Portugal and to promote informed and responsible behaviour among the population.
