Non-perscription medicines

Non-prescription medicines can be purchased by anyone without a prescription from a doctor, as they do not usually cause a threat to a person’s health, if used properly.

If used properly, the pharmacological properties and possible adverse reaction caused by them do not usually cause a direct or indirect threat to a person’s health. 

Non-prescription medicines can be purchased at a pharmacy. Your doctor will usually consult with you before the purchase. When you are buying non-prescription medicines, the pharmacist should advise you on the proper use of the medicine as well as provide information on the equivalent medicines and offer the cheapest equivalent option. [example] Pain killers, medicine against cold and flu, medicine for digestion, food supplements and homeopathic medicines are all examples of non-prescription medicine.
