FAQ's For Over the Counters

   

Commonly used OTC drugs include painkillers (acetaminophen, ibuprofen, naproxen, and aspirin), antihistamines (cetirizine, diphenhydramine, and loratadine), and family planning drugs like Plan B.

OTC drug formulations are mild and can be used without the supervision of a doctor. A regulatory body approves the drug based on safety, tolerance, and abuse potential. An exhaustive list of OTC drugs available in the US has been provided in the article.

Anyone of age can purchase OTC drugs sans prescription from a pharmacist.

Rules and regulations for selling OTC drugs vary from country to country. In general, countries will only allow drugs that are safe or well-tolerated and do not require a healthcare professional’s direct supervision to be taken. They must also have low abuse potential.

Anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs or non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs) like aspirin, ibuprofen, and naproxen are all available over the counter.

 
OTC drugs or over-the-counter drugs are any kind of medication that can be availed directly from a pharmacy without a doctor’s prescription. All over-the-counter medicines are carefully selected by a regulatory body to ensure that they contain ingredients that will not cause any harm to the user even when taken in the absence of a physician’s watch. Rules and regulations for selling OTC drugs vary from country to country. Some common American OTC products include:
Anti-fungal and anti-bacterial treatments: Miconazole, clotrimazole, bacitracin
OTC pain-relievers: Acetaminophen, and OTC anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) like aspirin, ibuprofen, and naproxen
Nicotine
Vitamin and mineral supplements: Compounds of calcium, iron, magnesium, niacin, thiamine, etc
Laxatives: Psyllium, docusate, glycerin, etc
Anti-ulcer drugs: Cimetidine, famotidine, nizatidine, and ranitidine
PPIs (Proton Pump Inhibitors): Omeprazole
Digestion drugs: Antacid liquid, calcium antacid, simethicone drops, etc
Family Planning Drugs: Plan B and Next Choice
Eye care: Artificial tears, sodium chloride solution, etc
Antihistamines: Cetirizine, diphenhydramine, and loratadine
Cold/Cough/Allergy drugs: Nasal spray, pseudoephedrine, tussin, brompheniramine-pseudoephedrine elixir, etc
Diabetic Supplies: Glucometers, test strips, syringes, lancets, etc
Asthma Supplies: Peak flow meters and spacers

In general, countries will only allow drugs that are safe or well-tolerated and do not require a healthcare professional’s direct supervision to be taken. They must also have low abuse potential. Painkillers like hydrocodone, oxycodone, morphine, and fentanyl are incredibly strong and hence can not be made available over the counter. Over time, usually a period of 3-6 years, some previously deemed prescription medications can be switched to OTC as over time they prove themselves to be safe for the public to use. An example of this is Benadryl, an antihistamine which once required a prescription but is now freely available almost everywhere over the counter.

HerbsDaily offers a wide range of OTC supplements effective in maintaining daily health and wellness.
