This new edition of Non-prescription Medicines has undergone a comprehensive revision and update to align with the amendments in the legal category status of numerous products. These changes have resulted in the transition of certain medicines from prescription-only (POM) to pharmacy sale (P) status, allowing them to be purchased over the counter (OTC) without a prescription.

The UK currently offers a wide range of over-the-counter (OTC) medicines, which are reviewed in alphabetically arranged chapters. Each chapter focuses on a specific condition and provides detailed information on the available products. This includes an introduction to the condition, a comprehensive description of the available products, their mode of action, potential side effects, precautions, and contraindications. Additionally, the chapter explores interactions and dosage recommendations, as well as product selection points and product recommendations.

Non-prescription Medicines stands as the sole publication in the UK dedicated to providing a comprehensive and in-depth exploration of available OTC medicines. This invaluable resource empowers pharmacists, GPs, nurses, and other healthcare professionals to make informed recommendations and provide sound advice to their patients. By offering a comprehensive overview of these medicines, Non-prescription Medicines ensures that healthcare practitioners have the necessary knowledge to assist their patients in making informed decisions regarding their healthcare needs.
