Dar es Salaam. Tanzanians have been urged to stop self-medicating, complete prescribed doses and avoid sharing medicines with others, as pharmacists warn that improper use of drugs is contributing to growing resistance to treatment.
Speaking during Pharmacy Week celebrations in Dar es Salaam, Pharmacy Council Eastern Zone Coordinator Mr Tumaini Makole said misuse of medicines remains a major public health concern, with many people taking drugs without first establishing the cause of their illness.
He said patients should seek professional medical advice, undergo the necessary tests and use medicines strictly as prescribed.
