One hundred seventy two (43.1%) 95% CI= (38.6, 48.1) of the participants had used non prescribed Antibiotics. Being male [AOR = 2.21 95%CI 1.276,3.835], residing in rural area [AOR = 3.659, 95%CI 1.479, 9.054], holding Diploma[AOR = 0.120, 95% CI 0.025, 0.591], and hold BSC Degree [AOR = 0.050, 95% CI 0.007, 0.378], and being farmer [AOR = 0.034, 95% CI 0.004, 0.285] showed significant association with the non prescription use of Antibiotics.
