Over-the-counter (OTC) drugs are medications that are available for purchase without a prescription from a healthcare professional. These drugs are typically used to treat common ailments and minor health issues, such as headaches, colds, allergies, and minor aches and pains. OTC drugs can be obtained directly from pharmacies, grocery stores, and other retail outlets, and are regulated by government agencies, such as the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in the United States, to ensure their safety and efficacy for consumer use.
Additionally, manufacturers of OTC drugs must adhere to strict guidelines regarding their ingredients, labeling, and marketing to ensure that consumers can use them safely and effectively without the guidance of a healthcare provider. Some commonly known OTC drugs include pain relievers such as acetaminophen and ibuprofen, antihistamines for allergies, cough, and cold medications, antacids for heartburn and indigestion, and topical treatments for skin conditions including acne and minor cuts and burns. Nowadays, OTC drugs are convenient for managing minor health issues without a doctor’s visit.

Additionally, with the increasing awareness about common ailments and the convenience of accessing OTC medications without a prescription, consumers are opting for these products for quick relief from symptoms.
Moreover, the growing middle-class population with higher disposable incomes is escalating the demand for OTC drugs as they seek affordable and accessible healthcare solutions.
