In recent years, the number of healthcare research studies with a focus on pharmaceutical care has increased in Arabic countries, emphasized in Saudi Arabia.[1-4] Furthermore, regulations and guidelines for conducting human scientific research have been developed in the healthcare system, as have types of research reporting or scientific publications.[5-17] The standards for conducting research place a greater emphasis on humanitarian, such as protecting human welfare, improving patient safety from any potential hazards, and improving clinical trial outcomes in healthcare systems. Therefore, patient protection was standardized, while the system also encouraged researchers to investigate healthcare services by categorizing research into different categories. The exempted ground is that; any study that does not harm patients, such as healthcare research, education surveys, native reviews, systemic reviews, and metaanalysis research, is exempted from the ethical committee{\textquoteright}s review and approval.[18,19].\  Read more....

About half of the responders were in the age group of 18{\textendash}29 years (393 (58.31\%)) with a significantly dominant female population as compared to males (p\<0.05). The most frequently stored medications were related to headache (462 (65.25\%)) and pain (445 (62.85\%)). Most of the responders stored their medications in the refrigerator (467 (65.96\%)) or in their bedroom (324 (45.76\%)). A total of 633 medications were found to be stored at homes during this survey. The top 20 most frequently stored medications were paracetamol (266 (42.02\%)) and ibuprofen (42 (6.64\%)).
