Depends: Many over the counter meds are sold in half their prescription only strength once they are released for OTC use. Their safety profile is generally well tolerated by anyone from age 12 on. Many prescription meds/antibiotics/etc require modification for body size, and this is well known to issuing prescriber. Any product sold as a medication (not a supplement) will have appropriate warning labels.
