How Is It Taken?
Over-the-counter medicines are usually taken by mouth. They are available in pills, capsules, chewable tablets, liquids, powders to be mixed with water or juice, and lozenges (such as cough drops). Other over-the-counter drugs include nasal sprays, throat sprays, and creams and lotions that can be applied directly to the skin.
