Over The Counter Drugs
Best Over-the-Counter (OTC) Drug Addiction Rehab
Over-the-counter (OTC) medications are readily available for public use without the need for a prescription. When taken as directed, they are generally safe and effective for treating a variety of everyday health issues. However, many of these medications are commonly misused for their mind-altering (psychoactive) effects. Substances often abused include cough suppressants (DXM), pain relievers like acetaminophen and ibuprofen, nasal decongestants (pseudoephedrine), motion sickness and allergy medications (dimenhydrinate, diphenhydramine), anabolic steroids, diet pills (ephedra), caffeine pills, and laxatives.
