over-the-counter medications

Explanation:

Over-the-counter (OTC) medications are accessible medications in the pharmacy that you can buy even without a doctor's prescription. Most people buy OTC meds for common ailments or symptoms like fever, cough and cold. Due to its accessibility, there's a tendency for people to take the medication more than the prescribed dosage or more frequently; thus, it can lead to potentially dangerous addiction.

OTCs cannot be taken on a daily basis unlike vitamins or mineral supplements. Herbal remedies are therapeutic in nature and can be taken daily just like green tea or ginger tea.
