Each day, millions of people rely on over-the-counter (OTC) medicines to treat a wide range of symptoms, such as allergies, headache, and upset stomach. With more than 100,000 OTC products available, consumers have numerous options for treating these conditions conveniently and economically.

With so many OTC therapies, there are a lot of choices when it comes to your family’s health. To help families safely and effectively use OTC medicines, the leading makers of OTC medicines have created the resources here at OTCsafety.org.

OTCsafety.org is made for consumers and offers practical information and tips. For example, there is a section devoted to helping families understand how to safely use pain relievers and fever reducers, like those including acetaminophen. You can also learn more about our Treat with Care campaign which offers you tips on safely giving and storing children’s cough and cold medicines.
