Over the counter: This means you do not need a physician's prescription to purchase. However, this does not mean that they are harmless. Discuss any questions with the pharmacist.

Over the counter: Otc- stands for over the counter and simply means that it is available without a prescription. Some otc medications are restricted to pharmacist only, meaning that you may only purchase from a pharmacist, in order to get proper counselling and supervision on proper use.
