💊 Know Your Medication: Over-the-Counter vs. Prescription

Not all medications are the same—and knowing the difference can help you make informed choices about your health.

🟢 Over-the-counter (OTC) medications don’t require a prescription and are commonly used for minor ailments, such as pain, colds, flu, and allergies.

🔵 Prescription medications require a prescription and are used under the guidance and monitoring of a healthcare professional.

❓Not sure which option is right for you? Ask our pharmacy team! We’re here to answer your questions and help you understand your medications.
