Over the counter (OTC) medications are those drugs that can be bought from the pharmacy without the aid of a prescription. In India almost all drugs can be bought over the counter without prescriptions. This leads to misuse of drugs especially antibiotics and other potent drugs. OTC drugs enable people to relieve many annoying symptoms and to cure some diseases simply and without the cost of seeing a doctor. Therefore the research investigators thought that this type of research study may be more helpful for elderly patients suffering from chronic disorders and it can also recognise the role of community pharmacist creating a more awareness to the general public with regarding to over the counter medications in chronic disorders.
