Choosing a nonprescription medication: it’s not always as easy as it sounds…
The next time you go to your local pharmacy to buy an over-the-counter medication, you should know the answers to the following questions before you purchase the product:
. Are you sure it’s the right medication for your particular taking?
. Can it be taken safely with other medications you are taking?
. Are you aware of the potential side effects this drug may cause, by itself or in a combination with other medications?
Why today, more than ever, you need to be an informed consumer.
Every year dozens of over-the-counter medications are introduced into the marketplace. While this gives you ever wider choice of products to choose from, it can also be confusing. One way to avoid confusion is to be informed. Let’s begin defining some key terms.
What does “over-the- counter” mean?
The term “over-the-counter”, often referred to as “OTC”, is used to describe a medication that does not require a doctor’s prescription. This means it is suitable for self-treatment and, if taken as directed, is unlikely to produce adverse reactions. If you’re under a doctor’s care, taking other prescription medication, it is important that you seek your doctor’s or pharmacist’s guidance. After all, medication is a serious issue and shouldn’t be treated lightly, but taken seriously. To help you to get the most out of the over-the-counter medications you take, there are certain guidelines that you should keep in mind.
Ex. 2 Переведите текст, пользуясь следующими словами:
Counter – прилавок;
purchase – покупатель;
to be aware of – беспокоиться;
consumer – покупатель;
confusing – озадачивающий;
to seek guidance – искать совета;
issue– предмет, вопрос;
totreat– относиться.

5.Yes, this medication is used for self-treatment if taken as directed.
