About OTC

The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) decides whether a medicine is safe enough to sell OTC. Taking OTC medicines still has some health risks. Some interact with other medicines, supplements, foods or drinks. Others cause problems for people with certain medical conditions. If you are pregnant, you need to talk to your health care provider before taking any medicines.

It is important to take medicines correctly. More medicine does not necessarily mean better. You should never take OTC medicines longer or in higher doses than the label recommends. If your symptoms don't go away, it’s a clear signal that it's time to see your physician.
