OTC Medications: A Key Health Care Strategy
Over-the-Counter (OTC) medications play an important role in your healthcare. OTC medications have long been figured into the treatment of many medical conditions, but they must be used with respect!
Even though OTC medications do not require a provider’s prescription, they may contain powerful ingredients. Label instructions must be followed, and precautions must be taken. OTC medications can interact with other medications, be contraindicated for other health conditions, or cause an allergic response.
