The majority stated that: pain interferes with the performance of daily activities (77.3%); they recognize that analgesics can harm health (76.3%); they consumed analgesics on their own (58.8%). Still, 47.4% indicated medicines to third parties and 93.8% reported that they stocked medicines in their homes.
