India has one of the highest rates of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) worldwide. Despite being prescription drugs, antibiotics are commonly available over-the-counter (OTC) at retail pharmacies. We aimed to gain insight into the OTC sale of antibiotics at retail pharmacies and to elucidate its underlying drivers. We conducted face-to-face, in-depth interviews using convenience sampling with 22 pharmacists and 14 informal dispensers from 36 retail pharmacies across two Indian states (Haryana and Telangana). Thematic analysis revealed that antibiotics were often dispensed OTC for conditions e.g.,

The off-label use of human over-the-counter (OTC) medications in veterinary medicine is a common but potentially hazardous practice, particularly in regions where access to veterinary-approved drugs is limited. While some OTC agents, such as diphenhydramine or melatonin, may offer therapeutic benefits under veterinary supervision, many others pose significant risks due to species-specific differences in drug metabolism, narrow safety margins, and the presence of toxic excipients such as xylitol, pseudoephedrine, or acetaminophen. This literature review examines the rationale behind such practi

This review undertakes a thorough examination of the pivotal role that pharmacists play in Nigeria in the critical activity of monitoring self-medication and self-care practices. This monitoring specifically focuses on the utilization of over-the-counter (OTC) nutritional supplements and herbal remedies. The practice of self-medication in Nigeria is a widespread phenomenon, often fueled by a complex and diverse set of underlying factors. One significant driver of self-medication is the limited availability and accessibility of essential prescription medications for a considerable portion of th

Over-the-counter (OTC) analgesics are commonly used for the initial management of dental pain due to their accessibility and fast-acting relief. In dentistry, medications such as ibuprofen, paracetamol, and aspirin are frequently recommended for conditions ranging from toothache to postoperative discomfort and minor oral infections. These drugs are favored for their proven pharmacokinetics, including rapid onset and high oral bioavailability, making them valuable tools for both clinicians and patients.

By the age of 16, nearly all adolescents have taken medicine independently for minor illnesses and become more involved with managing chronic conditions. Taking medications without a doctor's prescription, even if the ailment is minor, can have serious repercussions. A large number of potent drugs such as pain relievers, cough remedies, anti-allergies, laxatives, antibiotics, antacids and vitamins are sold over-the-counter (OTC).
