👉 Non-prescribed medications are drugs that a patient is not required to take and can be taken on their own. These may include over-the-counter (OTC) medications, supplements, herbal remedies, or dietary supplements. Non-prescription medications are often used for short-term relief of symptoms such as pain, fever, nausea, vomiting, or cough. However, they should only be taken under the guidance of a healthcare provider and not to self-medicate without proper medical advice.
