ABSTRACT
The consumption of prescription and non-prescription medication among ambulatory patients in a Quebec Family Medicine Unit was investigated during five working days. With the exception of antibiotics, duration of consumption exceeded 6 months for over 50% of the drugs reported. Understanding the prevalence and patterns of drug use may help us to prevent some drug-induced illnesses.
