ABSTRACT
This study is aimed at finding out the factors responsible for self-medication among the indigenes of Ekosodin community in Benin City.
The review of related literature was done using known works in the area of self-medication and self care.
A 20-item questionnaire was administered to find out the various factors influencing their choice to practice self-medication. The data obtained was analysed using frequency and percentages.
The findings of the study showed that lack of accessibility to health services and facilities, poor implementation and enforcement of drug laws and policies and unavailability and ineffective dissemination of drug information to members of the community were the major factors responsible for the practice of self medication among members of the community.
