What Are Some Examples Of Over The Counter Drugs
Over the counter drugs are medications sold directly to the consumer without a need for a doctor's prescription, unlike prescription drugs, which can only be provided to patients possessing a valid medical prescription from a licensed health care provider. Over the counter medicines are usually accessible over the counter, without a doctor's prescription, for a variety of medical conditions and symptoms. Most over the counter drugs can also be purchased over the counter, without a doctor's prescription, for various non-medical purposes. These include over the counter drugs for cholesterol, asthma, depression, constipation, epilepsy, fatigue, heartburn, high blood pressure, insomnia, pain management, oral conditions, over the counter medication for diabetes, kidney problems, pimples, skin infections, stomach disorders and sex hormones. There are many over the counter drugs that are classified by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) as generally recognized as safe (GRAS) or safe without first receiving FDA approval for safety, quality or strength.
