ABSTRACT
This study examined factors influencing practice of self medication among undergraduates of University of Lagos, Akoka. The sample studied consisted of 291 undergraduates from four faculties of University of Lagos, Akoka. The research instrument used in carrying out this study is a self developed questionnaire of 20 items. The data gathered was analysed using simple percentage table. Results from the findings show that peer, attitude of school clinic staff, over the counter sale of medicines and the nature of illness have significant influence on the practice of self medication among undergraduates. The study recommended that the Federal Ministry of Education and relevant government agencies create more awareness on the dangers of self medication and also ensure that street medicine vendors and other unauthorized agencies are totally prevented from selling medicines.
