OTC

Drugs available over-the-counter (OTC) are ones that you can buy without a doctor’s prescription. When taken as prescribed, these medications are typically regarded as safe and effective treatments for a variety of common health issues. OTC medications are usually labeled with dosage guidelines, possible adverse effects, and usage directions.

If you have any questions or concerns about the use of over-the-counter drugs, speak with a healthcare provider. It’s imperative to adhere to the directions and dosages listed on the labels. Certain over-the-counter medications may not be appropriate for certain medical problems or may conflict with other prescriptions you are taking. It’s best to consult a doctor if your symptoms intensify or continue. Additionally, be careful when giving children OTC medications and make sure they are suitable for their age and weight.
