Self-Prescribed Beta-Blocker Use and Health Implications Among Undergraduate Medical Students at Umm Al-Qura University
This study identified a notable incidence of self-prescribed beta blocker use among medical students at UQU. The findings highlight the need for educational programs to encourage responsible medication practices. Future research should focus on the broader social dynamics influencing this behavior and the development of targeted interventions to mitigate the risks associated with self-prescription.
