Abstract
The drug load that children receive is often superfluous and unreasonable. A typical example is the appointment of antibacterial drugs and immunomodulators in acute respiratory infections (ARI). In this work, there were analyzed 714 appeals to primary care physicians due to ARI in children under five years of age. The morbidity structure and frequency of use of drugs of various groups in this age period are presented. Unjustified use of antibacterial drugs has been noted in 59 % of cases. The average total number of drugs received by a child due to ARIs in his first five years of life was 44, some of which did not have proven effectiveness and safety.
