    Abstract: Self-medication is the administration of medications without a medical prescription to manage self-diagnosed health problems or symptoms. Self-medication with antibiotics is a global phenomenon, and it is more common in developing countries due to poor regulatory controls. The aim of this study was to evaluate the prevalence of self-medication with antibiotics in Erbil city, Iraq. This was an observational cross-sectional study involving a total of 100 people from the public population in Erbil City, Iraq. A self-administered questionnaire was used to collect data from the participants. Among 100 participants, 90% of them were self-medicated with antibiotics. Amoxicillin was the most commonly used antibiotic for self-medication. For successful treatment, 77% of the participants were satisfied by self-medication with the antibiotic. The primary source for the antibiotic was from a community pharmacy with 38%. The study showed that there is a significant association between self-medication with antibiotics and the occupational status of the participants. Self-medication with antibiotics was found to be prevalent among the public population of Erbil City. As a recommendation regulatory control should be implemented to prevent dispensing antibiotics without a medical prescription.

    Abstract: The purpose of this review was to select a promising drug delivery system for colon diseases. This review covers the development of Colon Targeted Drug Delivery System (CTDDS) using 36 y (1986-2022) data from various research and review articles. All fig. designed using by BioRender website. vThe colon-targeted drug delivery systems developed for the specific site drug delivery which applied for both local and systemic actions of the drug; since the drug targeted to be release within the colon, the unwanted systemic side effects are reduced along with it. Systemic side effects include organ damage, respiratory diseases and, cardiovascular damage and other illnesses. Colon-targeted drug delivery system used in the treatment of diseases in the colon, including ulcerative colitis, irritable bowel syndrome and colorectal cancer. The benefit of colon-targeted drug delivery besides the reduction of side effects also include protection from premature drug release or burst in the stomach or small intestine before reaching the colon. For the development of drugs with such benefits and advantages, drug delivery systems and approaches have used for Colon targeted drug delivery systems, varying from conventional colon-targeting drug delivery systems to novel approaches for Colon-targeted drug delivery systems. Conventional drug delivery includes the use of prodrugs, pH-dependent, time-dependent, matrix-based systems, polysaccharides-derived systems, and bio-adhesive system while novel approaches include types such as port system, pulsincap system, pressure-controlled system, osmotic controlled system, CODES, and the newest approach wish is the use of nanotechnology in colon targeted drug delivery. In this research both techniques reviewed, and their types discussed as well. The limitation of their uses and the advantage of each system discussed with a breakdown of the different mechanisms used to formulate such systems. A successful colon targeting delivery can release the drug to a specific segment in colon due to presence of different colonic enzymes formed by microorganisms that metabolize drug carrier linkage. Use of combined approaches i.e., conventional systems and newer approaches may be the best way to cure colon diseases using an optimized colon drug delivery system.
