Over-the-Counter Medications Overview

At Hattiesburg Clinic, pharmacy services are an integral part of the comprehensive care we provide, offering a local, patient-centered experience that sets us apart from chain pharmacies. We are here not only to dispense medications but also to guide you through selecting the appropriate over-the-counter (OTC) products, ensuring you receive the highest level of care and expertise.

What are over-the-counter medications?

Over-the-counter medications are non-prescription drugs that you can purchase to treat everyday health concerns such as colds, headaches or minor digestive issues. While they are easily accessible, using them correctly is crucial. Our pharmacists are here to help you navigate the wide variety of OTC options and ensure you are selecting the best product for your needs.

How do I choose the right OTC medication?

Choosing the appropriate OTC medication is more than just picking something off the shelf. Each patient’s health condition, current medications and even lifestyle can affect which OTC product is most effective. Our pharmacists are available to assist you in choosing a safe and effective OTC medication based on your specific situation. Whether it is an allergy remedy or pain relief, we help to ensure your choice aligns with your overall health plan.

Can over-the-counter medications interact with my prescription medications?

Yes, it is possible for OTC medications to interact with prescription drugs, which could reduce the effectiveness of your treatment or result in unwanted side effects. Even though OTC products are readily available, it is important to consult with your care team before taking any new medication.

What are the common side effects of OTC medications?

Even non-prescription medications can cause side effects. These may include drowsiness, upset stomach or allergic reactions. If you notice any unusual symptoms, it is important to stop taking the medication and consult with a health care provider. We are here to help you manage any side effects and recommend alternative treatments if necessary.

How should I store over-the-counter medications?

Storing medications properly ensures their effectiveness and safety. Most OTC products should be kept in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and moisture. It is also important to regularly check expiration dates and dispose of expired medications properly. If you have any questions about how to store your OTC medications, our pharmacy team is available to provide guidance.
