How bad is it really to take so many over-the-counter pills?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes!: Just because they are sold over the counter does not mean that they are safe. The highest incidence of accidental death and poisoning is from otc medications not prescription ones. They do interact frequently with each other and prescription aids. So if you are taking something everyday (and especially if you take more than one thing everyday), talk to your doctor about it.
