Laboratory analysis of OTC Drugs
What is an OTC Drug?
OTC Drugs – or Over The Counter drugs – are products freely sold in pharmacies without the need for a prescription from a medical professional to be purchased.
In the United States, certain cosmetic products are considered OTC Drugs by the FDA (Food and Drug Administration) such as anti-cavity or anti-acne treatments, hair growth stimulants, sun screens… Due to the fact that they are considered as OTC Drugs, these cosmetic products are subject to the same regulations as conventional medicines.
OTC Drugs undergo quality control testing before going to market and at various points throughout their life cycle.
