All medicines in the U.S. must meet standards set by the FDA.
Drug manufacturers must complete 3 clinical trials, including human volunteers.
They monitor the drug’s effects and identify any harmful side effects.
The FDA does not regulate herbal and dietary supplements.

5. Prescription vs. over-the-counter
Prescription Medicines: are medicines that are dispensed only with the written approval of a licensed physician or nurse practitioner.
A prescription medicine should be taken ONLY by the person whose name is on the label.
Over-the-Counter: medicines you can buy without a doctor’s prescription.
Some O.T.C.’s are kept behind the counter depending on their active ingredients. These may be abused to get a high or to make illegal drugs

6. Medicine Label
When the FDA approves a medicine, it is considered safe when used as directed.
The FDA requires that all prescription and OTC medicine labels contain information telling consumers how to use the medicine safely and effectively.
