over-the-counter drug label
An over-the-counter (OTC) drug label provides essential information to help consumers use the medication safely and effectively. It includes the drug's name, purpose, active ingredients, directions for use, dosage, warnings, side effects, storage instructions, and manufacturer details. The label is designed to ensure proper use without a healthcare provider’s direct supervision, highlighting precautions for specific populations like children or pregnant women. Clear labeling helps consumers understand what the medication is for, how to take it correctly, and when to seek medical advice, promoting safe, responsible self-care.
