Abstrakt		Number of doctor-issued prescriptions is rising both in Slovenia and worldwide. According to the Institute of health 12.8 million prescriptions have been issued in 2001 reaching the amount of 68.1 billion tolars. Leading drugs are for the treatment of cardiovascular diseases, followed by the drugs for nervous and infectious diseases (antibiotics). There is a number of new drugs as well as more alternatives for better treahnent of diseases, that have not been treated with success in the past. Yet, efficient drugs do have side effects that could potentially influence patients' everyday functioning. One of the main principles of drug treatment remains patient's benefit from the drug over hann, because of the drug. This rule applies drastically for drugs that could harm memory functions. Hann to memory does not endanger patient's life directly. Even though it affects one of the most important cognitive functions that enable an individual to relate with him or her self and the environment. In this paper, drugs that influence (both positively and negatively) especially memory, among other cognitive functions, are presented. Hannful effect of drugs on memory remains less understood area that should gain sufficient interest in the future to improve quality and safety of patients' lives.
