Non-prescription OTC medicines

Non-prescription medicines, also known as over-the-counter (OTC) medicines, are drugs that can be purchased without a prescription from a healthcare provider. These medicines are used to treat minor ailments and symptoms, such as pain, fever, allergies, cough, and cold.

 

OTC medicines are typically available in drug stores, supermarkets, and convenience stores, and are labeled with specific instructions for use and dosage. Some examples of OTC medicines include pain relievers, such as aspirin and ibuprofen, antihistamines for allergies, cough and cold medicines, and topical creams for skin conditions.

 

OTC medicines are regulated by government agencies, such as the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), to ensure their safety and effectiveness. They are generally considered safe when used as directed but can cause side effects or interact with other medications if not used properly.

 

It is important to read and follow the instructions on the label of OTC medicines and to consult with a healthcare provider before using them if you have any medical conditions, are taking other medications, or are pregnant or breastfeeding.
