Over the Counter (OTC) Medicines

Over-The-Counter (OTC) medicines (also known as “non-prescription drugs”) are products which are available to patients without the need for a prescription.

Generally they are medicines where:

• their benefits outweigh their risks
• the potential for misuse and abuse is low
• the patient can use them for self-diagnosed ailments
• they can be adequately labelled, and
• doctors are not needed for the safe and effective use of the medicine.

The regulations surrounding OTC medicines are changing and, as a result, the regulatory process should be simplified for the benefit of all.
