Many prescription medications are now over-the-counter (OTC) medications, which can be purchased
without a prescription with a pharmacist's guidance for self-medication [1, 2]. Terbinafine hydrochloride,
an antifungal medication, and vidarabine, an antiviral medication, are switch over-the-counter medications
for external medicine, while famotidine, an inhibitor of gastric acid secretion, and indomethacin, an anti-
inflammatory medication, are switch over-the-counter medications for internal medicine. For certain
medications, pharmacotherapy is necessary for patient care, either through counter service or a pharmacist's
advice to undergo a medical evaluation [3]. Depending on the patient's needs, generic medications may
also be prescribed as prescription medications [4].
