Medication misuse is a major concern in India, especially for various Over-the-counter (OTC) medications that are easily available to the patients. Ideally, even the OTC drugs need to be consumed only for a prescribed dose.
However, patients do not approach the doctor to understand the right dosage and related precautions. Here, Doctors as well as Pharma play a major role in educating the patients about the do’s and don’ts of OTC drugs.
