“…In the study conducted by Naves et al (2011), most of participants perceived the pharmacists as ordinary employees seeking only to increase profits and self-medication was identified as the dominant method of medication among the participants which was encouraged by their dissatisfaction with the quality of public health services; their participants also talked about the inadequate guidance on drug use provided by pharmacists which necessitates the provision of enough and correct training to patients for correct and effective manner of drug use (30). Patients' partial knowledge of drugs can affect its efficiency or even cause side-effects jeopardizing patients' health as well as that of the society (29).…”

“…In a study, lack of enough time was mentioned as the reason for not visiting a doctor and using OTC drugs (28), and self-medication was identified more affordable in terms of money and time and also a cost-effective method by the participants in Wen et al's study (2011) (33). Arbitrary drug use was a common method among participants in the study conducted by Naves et al (2010) which was accounted for by participants' dissatisfaction with the necessity to wait for long hours in doctors' offices (30).…”

Background: Arbitrary drug use is considered as one of the major problems in all countries. Several studies indicate that selfmedication is more prevalent in women. In addition to the side-effects of drugs on women's health, their health behavior can affect their families, as well. Qualitative research provides insight into participants' internal world as well as the chance to specify and interpret the data and their experience at a deeper level. Objectives: The present qualitative study aimed to explore women's perception of OTC drugs. Methods:The present study is a conventional qualitative content analysis conducted on women's community in the Guilan province, the North of Iran. The study population was selected through purposive sampling, and the data were gathered through semi-structured interviews, which continued up to data saturation point. Data analysis was performed as per the stages recommended by Graneheim and Lundman. Research strength and its scientific accuracy were evaluated as per the criteria proposed by Guba and Lincoln. Results: Data analysis identified three main themes and 9 subthemes as follows: "fragmented interaction in health system (poor relationship between patients and therapists, government's poor economic support, inadequate supervision); "false self-confidence" (belief in the non-riskiness/efficiency of self-medication, self-esteem in understanding one's health status, good memories of healing); "perceived personal stonewalling" (limitations in time, huge costs of treatment, and poor understanding of nuisances). Conclusions: Participants' experience highlighted the necessity of awareness about adverse side effects of OTC drug use; such awareness can be achieved through various methods such as information dissemination and proper culture of drug use promoted by healthcare professionals to resolve the mentioned issues and improve, consolidate, and promote society's level of knowledge and health.

IntroduçãoO envelhecimento populacional tem gerado novas demandas sociais, econômicas, sanitárias e, diante da importância crescente deste segmento, estudos envolvendo a população idosa constituem um tema emergente nas diversas áreas de conhecimento 1,2,3 .A morbidade apresentada pela população idosa caracteriza-se pela preponderância de doenças crônicas e múltiplas de longa duração, exigindo acompanhamento, cuidados permanentes e exames periódicos. O idoso utiliza mais serviços de saúde, as internações hospitalares são mais frequentes do que entre adultos e o tempo de ocupação do leito é maior quando comparado a outras faixas etárias 3,4 . Ainda, o aumento da prevalência de doenças crônicas com a idade, demanda um maior consumo dos medicamentos, que constituem um dos itens mais importantes da atenção à saúde do idoso 4,5,6,7 , e requer, cada vez mais, a racionalidade da terapia medicamentosa 5,8,9 .São inegáveis os benefícios terapêuticos conseguidos com o uso correto dos medicamentos, no entanto, seu elevado consumo entre os idosos pode acarretar riscos à saúde. Os idosos fazem uso, em média, de dois a cinco medicamentos diariamente 10,11 e são particularmente mais sensíveis aos efeitos adversos, interações medicamentosas e toxicidade 9,12,13 .
