What Is Prescription-Only Medication?
Prescription drugs are medications prescribed by a physician. They are only intended to be used by the patient to whom they are prescribed. These drugs are only available for purchase with a valid prescription, as they are often more powerful than OTC drugs.
Over-the-counter medications, on the other hand, are available without a prescription and a visit to a doctor is generally not required. While OTC drugs are not intended for a specific person, some medicines (like eye drops and nasal sprays) should be used by one individual only.
