Yıl 2021, Cilt: 3 Sayı: 2, 27 - 31, 15.12.2021

Introduction: Lack of existence of traditional medicine based on the academic sciences and lack of a study on the knowledge of the community about the indication and contraindications and drug interactions with herbal remedies, we decided to investigate the attitudes and knowledge of people with medical education.

Methods and materials: In this cross-sectional study, people from medical, nursing and pharmacy groups were selected randomly. Implicit consent was obtained from individuals. The questionnaire consisted of demographic characteristics and four parts of the questions were as following, the first part consisting of people's attitude, the second part containing questions related to indication, the third part of questions related to contraindication and the last part was about drug interactions.

Results: In this study, 388 participants were enrolled. The mean age of the participants was 29.66 ± 8.37 years .180 were female (46.4%). Most patients (66%)rarely or occasionally recommend herbal remedies. Most participants (68%) occasionally or rarely recommend herbal medicines as an alternative for common medicine. 256 participants (66%) believe that the use of herbal remedies has increased and 112 (28.9%) declare unawareness and 20 (5.2%) believe that Consumption has not increased. The reason for increased use is often that people think these drugs are natural.

Conclusion: Most participants do not have enough information about herbal remedies and medications and often claim that because herbal remedies are natural, cheaper and less risky, the tendency to herbal remedies and medicines has increased but the participants themselves often do not recommend replacing prescription medicine with them.
