Abstract
A substantial amount of literature has identified that people have increasingly used social
media as an easier source to seek health-related information, offering positive benefits for
managing their healthcare. However, this increasing trend has also led to the rise of self medication practices, which can have serious harmful effects, especially in a country like
Pakistan, where healthcare services are inadequate.
