1 How do people obtain antibiotics in European countries: an overview Dominique L. Monnet, Programme Coordinator Senior Expert, Scientific Advice Unit & the National Antimicrobial Resistance Focal Points ecdc.europa.eu

2 Determinants of Self-Medication With Antibiotics in Europe Self-medication with antibiotics in Europe is the result of: poor awareness about the indications and risks of using antibiotics (predisposing factors) availability of antibiotics without having to consult a physician, either directly at a pharmacy or from rests of previous prescriptions (enabling factors) Source: SAR, SANCO SPC333; Grigoryan et al. J Antimicrob Chemother 8;61:

6 ECDC Survey, September 8 questionnaire 9 National Antimicrobial Resistance Focal Points (may have delegated their reply - or part of - to a competent person/national institution) Questions: According to your knowledge, how frequently are packages of systemic antibiotics sold without a prescription at pharmacies in your country (this includes situations where a prescription is provided after the dispensation) current situation in 8? What is the legal status for dispensation of packages of systemic antibiotics at pharmacies in your country (national legislation)? Copies of national scientific publications Copies of national legislation 6

12 Prescription Only Medicine Status to Pharmacy Status, United Kingdom From October 8, it is possible for UK patients who are asymptomatic but who have a diagnosed genital infection with Chlamydia to obtain from pharmacists (without a prescription) a single dose of azithromycin, representing a complete treatment course.

16 Conclusion Despite being illegal, over-the-counter dispensation of systemic antibiotics still occurs in several EU Member States. The extent to which this occurs should be further assessed in all 7 Member States and EEA/EFTA countries, as well as candidate countries by, e.g. performing a new Eurobarometer survey. Countries that did not participate in the SAR study as well as those countries that have taken action since should consider a national study based on the SAR protocol. 16
