When taken as directed, OTCs are safe and effective, but like prescription medicines, they must be taken with care.

In fact, many of the OTC medicines sold today were once available only by prescription. Having these medicines available without needing to see a doctor for a prescription is a plus for everyone.

However, taking advantage of the many OTCs now available also means learning how to be medwise by following these simple steps:

Read the label—every time you buy or use a nonprescription medicine pay special attention to the ingredients, and directions for use and warnings.

Take only the recommended dose as stated on the label.

Talk to your pharmacist or doctor before combining an OTC medicine with a prescription medicine or before taking more than one OTC remedy at the same time.

Keep a record of all the OTC medicines, prescription medicines, dietary supplements and herbal remedies you take. Share this record with your health care providers at each visit.

Many OTC products contain the same active ingredient. Therefore, if you were to take two OTC medicines at the same time with the same active ingredient, you would be taking twice the recommended amount and that could lead to health problems. Prescription medicines can also contain the same active ingredient as OTC medicines, so be medwise and always tell your pharmacist or doctor about the prescription medicines you are taking before combining them with an OTC medicine.
