Over the counter medicine is also popularly known as OTC or no prescription meds. It basically refers to medicines that you are allowed to buy without a doctor’s prescription. These medicines do not require the supervision of a health care professional like doctors. They are safe to consume, if you follow the directions given on the label or as prescribed by a doctor. These days, there are numerous online pharmacies that deliver Over-the-Counter drugs to consumers to their doorstep. The OTC medicines are offered along with details and self-care information. Many mail order pharmacies have “frequently asked questions” segment on their websites to help you in the best possible way. They also keep a licensed pharmacist to answer your queries. Ordering OTC medicines have become extremely popular among people around the world. It is a great way to saving time and money. And what’s better, it’s super convenient. However, there are risks of misusing or using the no prescription meds incorrectly. Read the label carefully or consult a physician to ensure that you are taking the right dosage.

While most OTC drugs may not require a prescription, some do require a valid prescription by a certified doctor. In that case, customers are required to fax or e-mail a scanned copy of their original prescription to the pharmacy in order to make a purchase. An OTC drug label lists all the ingredients that have been used in that particular medicine, the diseases or conditions it can treat, the right dosage and instructions to consume. Over-the-Counter drugs do not require a prescription and can be shipped as soon as the order has been placed. They are delivered faster than the prescribed drugs. Just like prescribed drugs, it is suggested that you buy OTC drugs from licensed pharmacies. Most online pharmacies have a wide range of collection and offer a reasonable price. It is advised that consumers verify these medicines to ensure that they got the right one. If they find any discrepancy, they must return it immediately.
