OTC Medications

Over-the-counter (OTC) medications are drugs that can be purchased without a prescription from a healthcare provider. They are used to treat a variety of common ailments, such as headaches, colds, allergies, and digestive issues. OTC medications include pain relievers like ibuprofen, cold and flu remedies, and antacids. While generally safe when used as directed, it’s important to read labels for proper dosages and potential side effects. Individuals should consult a healthcare professional if they have questions or are taking other medications to avoid harmful interactions.
