OTC Medications Are Integral Part of Healthcare System

Author(s) Dr. Nirlepkumar Patel
Country United States
Abstract Over the counter (OTC) drugs have emerged as a fundamental component of contemporary healthcare, offering accessible, effective, and economical remedies for prevalent health issues. These drugs are obtainable over the counter, enabling patients to autonomously manage symptoms of conditions such as headaches, colds, gastrointestinal disturbances, and minor accidents. OTC medications would allow patients to manage their health, decrease healthcare expenses, and alleviate the strain on healthcare systems by minimizing superfluous medical consultations. The extensive accessibility of over-the-counter pharmaceuticals prompts apprehensions about misuse, drug interactions, and self-diagnosis. This study investigates the role of OTC pharmaceuticals in modern healthcare, analyzing their advantages, problems, and the regulatory structures that guarantee their safety and effectiveness. The growing dependence on OTC products underscores the necessity for patient education, appropriate regulation, and ongoing research to enhance their utilization and reduce potential hazards.
