Use of Antibiotics in Children in Saudi Arabia

In many countries around the world, the distribution of antibiotics is not adequately regulated, where antibiotics can be purchased over-the-counter without a doctor’s prescription. In Saudi Arabia, the law states that antibiotics need doctors’ prescription to be dispensed to patients. However, studies have revealed that pharmacies often do not follow these regulations and a huge amount of antibiotics are dispensed without prescriptions. Furthermore, antibiotics are frequently inappropriately dispensed by the pharmacists for viral infections, with and without the patient/parent’s request.
