Over the Counter Drugs
Best Over the Counter Drug Addiction Rehab
Over the counter (OTC) drugs are medications that can be purchased without a prescription from a healthcare provider. When used as intended with proper doses, these drugs have been deemed safe and effective for use by the public to treat a range of conditions. Many of these medications are misused due to their psychoactive, or mind-altering properties. These medications include cough and cold medicines (dextromethorphan/ DXM), pain relievers (acetaminophen and ibuprofen), nasal decongestants (pseudoephedrine), motion sickness pills, anabolic steroids, (dimenhydrinate and diphenhydramine), caffeine pills, laxatives, and diet pills (ephedra).
