The most of us already know what OTC drugs are and what they supposed to be. Basically, in comparison to prescription drugs, over-the-counter drugs have to be used primarily for treatment of conditions which don’t need direct medical expert supervision. During last two decades, some prescription drugs switched to over-the-counter, since these have been used safely for years, such as Aspirin, Benadryl or Ibuprofen. However, a few OTC drugs have been withdrawn from market because of ingredients which caused serious allergic reactions, such as phenylpropanolamine (PPA) used in some cold and cough remedies. A while ago, FDA switched PPA back to prescription drugs, but in Europe the drug was completely withdrawn from the market.

The procedure of regulation to put OTC drugs on market is very expensive and regulated by FDA. The labeling is regulated by FDA but the advertising of OTC products is regulated by Federal Trade Commission (FTC). From the other side, the advertising of prescription drugs is strictly regulated only by FDA, which is the main difference.

Browsing around the web I found an interesting FDA document which explains actual OTC regulation procedure. According to David Hilfiker, one of FDA’s Project Managers, and his Power Point presentation, the average American has to use over-the-counter drugs on daily basis?! Well, at least they HOPE we use them daily (screenshot below). What does it suppose to mean? OTC drugs for healthy living?
