<p><strong>Relevance</strong>. According to the definition of the World Health Organization (WHO), self-medication is the use of drugs by a consumer to treat disorders and symptoms recognized by itself. Every year, there is an increasing trend towards self-medication in the world, which is associated with an increase in the level of education of the population in the field of health care, lack of time, as well as the mass prevalence of various types of advertising.</p>
<p><strong>Research objective.</strong> Perform a comparative analysis of the prevalence and features of the use of medicines without the appointment of a doctor by medical students of junior and senior courses of study of the Medical Academy named after S. I. Georgievsky.</p>
<p><strong>Materials and methods. </strong>The study was conducted using the online questionnaire method, which was attended by 360 respondents who are students of senior and junior courses of study of the Medical Academy named after S. I. Georgievsky. A survey of students using multiple response options made it possible to assess the frequency of drug use for self-treatment, as well as the level of awareness of respondents about the possible risks of self-use of drugs.</p>
<p><strong>Conclusion. </strong>Self-medication is common among medical students in both junior and senior courses. However, among students of different age categories, there are a number of features in treatment approaches. At the same time, respondents demonstrate a responsible attitude to health, understanding all the risks associated with the independent use of medicines.</p>
