Abstract:

Self-medication can be defined as obtaining and consuming one (or more) drug(s) without the advice of a physician either for diagnosis, prescription or surveillance of treatment. The use of over the counter medicines are increasing day by day. Low cost and easy availability make these medicines to reach the hands of community quickly. The present study was intended to assess the knowledge and practices regarding over the counter medicines among adults and determine the association between knowledge and socio demographic variables.

Abstract:

BACKGROUND: In the UK, medicines are being reclassified from prescription-only drugs to allow supply without prescription. This allows faster and easier access to medicines to treat minor ailments and allows patients to take greater responsibility for their health. However, over-the-counter (OTC) drugs may pose risks to patients; thus, it is important to understand patients' OTC medicine use. OBJECTIVE: To assess use of OTC drugs prior to and during hospital stay of inpatients of all ages and specialties. METHODS: Data were collected for 186 randomly selected patients. Patients were interviewe

Abstract Most medicines are white bitter powders that are formulated as tablets and capsules but cough medicines are an exception where the taste and appearance of the medicine are more important to the patient than the pharmacology of the active ingredient. Excipients are generally defined as any ingredient in a medicine other than the active ingredient. In most medicines excipients play a supportive role in delivering the medicine, but in the case of cough medicines, excipients have more important and complex roles and they can also be the main active ingredient of the cough medicine as ment

Abstract:

Over-The-Counter (OTC) drugs constitute a large category found in pharmacies. They are intended to be applied among adult patients and infants as well. They are also used for prophylaxis. The number of OTC drugs containing biologically active substances (BAS) of plant origin which are intended to be applied among children is insignificant. The changes in the list of OTC medicines which are applied among children mainly affect products influencing cold and flu symptoms. These medicines often contain decongestants which are considered to be the main reason for the emergence of a number of unwant

Abstract:

Over-the-counter (OTC) medicine is defined as safe and effective for the general public to use, without seeking therapy from a health professional. As primary social media and internet users, university and college students are more likely to be exposed to unverified sources of health information. This study aims to assess the knowledge, attitudes, and behaviour of students at institutions of higher learning in Brunei with regard to the safe use of OTC medicines.

AbstractThe previous chapters have analysed the difficulties a patient may face in purchasing a medicine, even though supported by the prescription and the information he or she may receive, in written or verbal form, from the doctor during the examination and from the pharmacist during dispensing of the medicine.

In these cases, even more so than in the case of medicines dispensed on prescription, it is necessary for the information accompanying the medicine to be comprehensiv

Abstract Cough is subject to large placebo effects. What are the implications for clinical trials on cough and the development of new medicines? Placebo treatments can reduce cough by 40% in trials, and this large placebo effect confounds the outcome of these clinical trials. Over-the-counter (OTC) cough medicines are viscous sweet syrups, and the sweet taste may have antitussive effects by causing release of endogenous opioids. There is some doubt about the pharmacological efficacy of OTC cough medicines, but these medicines provide benefit by a powerful placebo effect. OTC cough medicines co

Gastric acid is essential to digest protein and emulsify fats. It breaks down food so it can go on to the small intestine where nutrients are absorbed.

It is important then that we carefully consider what packaging features can motivate consumers to more thoughtfully consider the use of the OTC med

With an emphasis on industrial hemp as the source of naturally-occurring cannabinoid compounds, a niche market for cannabidiol (CBD)-containing products was quickly established in pharmacies and grocery stores. Although the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has retained oversight of all cannabis-based products, labelling of hemp-derived products for retail markets remains largely unregul
