Patients have right to know all adverse effects of the drugs prescribed to them, over-the counter drugs and some common drug-interactions. The aim of this research is to survey the knowledge, attitude and practices on medication use and safety among Nigerian postgraduate-students in Malaysia. A cross sectional questionnaire-based study was conducted using adopted, modified and validated instrument. The questionnaire was distributed to 100 Nigerian postgraduate-students residing in Gonk-Badak campus. The response was analysed using SPSS version 20. The response rate obtained was 85%. Among 85 respondents, majority were males 95.3%. The age range was 20-40 years. The respondents, 71.8% stated that antibiotics should be prescription only medicine. Nearly 90.6% said traditional medicine and over-the counter also possess adverse effects. Similarly, study population 72.9% strongly agreed that pharmacist is a reliable source of drug information.
