Abstract

La automedicación es un tipo de conducta que implica tomar medicamentos según la propia iniciativa del paciente, por consejo de un familiar, técnico sanitario o de cualquier persona no médica. Son muchos los factores que influyen en este tipo de conducta, destacando los factores sociales como la presión de grupo o de nuestros propios familiares que nos ofrecen una alternativa para la solución de nuestros problemas de salud basados en su propia experiencia. También influye el bajo nivel de instrucción de personas especialmente de los padres de familia, los cuales ignoran por completo el riesgo que implica la automedicación .Dentro de los factores económicos que influyen en la automedicación destacan el desempleo, las malas condiciones de trabajo y de vida de la mayoría de la población y sobre todo el bajo ingreso económico familiar que no les permite acceder a los servicios de salud lo cual se traduce en la falta de prescripción por un profesional capacitado .Dentro de los factores culturales influyen la falta de acceso y escasa disponibilidad de información lo que permite a las empresas farmacéuticas difundir información sesgada que incita a la población al consumo de fármacos supuestamente muy seguros, esto además se aúna a la deficiente educación sanitaria con la que contamos y aspecto social-familiar que permita mejorar los conocimientos sobre el uso racional del medicamento .
