OTC products - OTC is the abbreviation for "Over the Counter". OTC products are non-prescription drugs such as B. cough syrup, pain relievers and laxatives, which are sold "over the counter" by pharmacies and drugstores and recently also by hypermarkets and discounters.
As a result of the competition between the new distribution channels, the retail prices of OTC products or the trading margin are falling and there is a risk of drug abuse because consumers are not given expert advice.
