According to the results of a sociological survey, it was found that the vast majority of applicants of higher medical education at the pre- and postgraduate stage independently prescribed treatment to themselves. The reasons to buy medicines due to acute and chronic diseases were often the prescription of a doctor and the personal experience of the interviewees. A third of those questioned arbitrarily increased the dose of the drugs. Every 2nd respondent admitted that he replaced the prescribed medicines for cheaper analogues. Every 2nd respondent believed that the oral hormonal contraceptives and antibiotics should be sold without the prescription.Conclusions. The results of the conducted sociological research, which were obtained and analyzed, confirmed that the vast majority of questionnaires (91.50±1.39 %) stated that they treated themselves. According to their self-assessment, 64.5 % of them did not achieve the therapeutic effect of medicines. Most respondents (64.00±2.40 %) acknowledged that they usually took more than 1 drug at a time. The most respondents read the instruction for the medical use of the medicines before taking the drug. In our opinion, the obtained results should become the basis for a comprehensive model of the program of prevention of negative consequences of self-medication, especially among young people.
