Over-the-counter remedies are medications that can be purchased without a prescription from a healthcare provider. They are commonly used to treat minor health issues such as headaches, colds, allergies, and digestive problems. These remedies come in various forms, including tablets, liquids, and creams, and are available at pharmacies, grocery stores, and online. While over-the-counter remedies are generally safe for most people, it is important to read labels and follow dosage instructions carefully. Some products may interact with other medications or have side effects. Always consult a healthcare professional if you have questions or if symptoms persist.
