Abstract:
In South-East Asia the main public health issues are infectious diseases and
communicable disease where morbidity and mortality due to non-communicable
diseases (NCDs) has increased over the last few decades. Therefore, the objective of
our study is to understand the medicine consumption scenario among different age
groups in Bangladesh and to ensure whether patients are aware about safe use of
medicine. We conducted our study over 70 people in Homna, Cumilla. From the
above study conducted over 70 people we can say that highest number of people was
found in the age group of 10-20 years whose body weight ranged in 51-60 kg. It also
demonstrated that most of the people in our study were literate where the highest
number of people passed at least JSC. Among different types of occupation the
highest percentage was found in the category of other occupation.(figure 3) Figure
4 clearly should that 48% people in our study don’t earn any money. It is a good sign
that most of the people in our study did not have any eye disease and result was
almost same in case of hearing problem. It was a positive sign people took different
medicine when doctor prescribed the medicine. Addiction to smoking and tobacco
was a bad sign that can harm to the people by its severe side effects.( Figure 5)
