Question

Help ? Explain two differences between prescription drugs and over-the-counter (OTC) drugs. Also, explain how the FDA regulates OTC drugs.

Answer 1

Answer:

Otc meds are not specifically for one person. Anyone can buy them as they are considered safe by the fda. Prescription meds are only used under a doctor's care to treat a specific person's needs.

The FDA regulates OTC drugs by using monographs.....its like a drug recipe book that shows the safe dosage and ingredients.
