Latter are also known as Over the Counter Drugs abbreviated famously as OTC Drugs.
After covering all the important details, their basis of being called so and wonderful examples to quote, I will be shifting the focus of discussions towards detailed categorisation of drugs , this time basis being a little different, something like capability of a drug of being abused, misused or involving illegal purpose. On these aspects, I will be explaining four categories all in all, much in detail which you all will appreciate and like as it is in its own kinda a novel type of information. I will explain some new schedules introduced in Drug Cosmetic Act also which will be of great help to all of you regarding latest updates!!
Lastly with a word of caution about overuse or excessive use of even OTC drugs causing harm to the body and a beautiful advise to observe delicately the thin line between optimum and excessive use and harm and benefit, I will only say, "Excess of everything is bad", even safe drugs should be used in safe limit!! With this, I promise not to drive y'all impatient and overtime ridden, I would simply seal the discussion here and now...
