Four out of five Nigerian adults commonly take over-the-counter medications, most often to treat ailments like aches and pains, coughs and colds, fever, allergies, skin disorders, and heartburn and other digestive problems. The reasons are easy to understand. O.T.C.s are convenient, readily available in groceries and big box stores as well as pharmacies, and they are less expensive than going to the doctor and perhaps paying for a costly prescription.

In addition to saving consumers time and money, O.T.C.s give many people a sense of self-control over their health and well-being. That’s all to the good if OTC drugs are used appropriately, for an indicated condition in the proper dosage and for no longer than the recommended time. However, one in five adults who self-medicate admit to taking more than the recommended dose or using the medication more frequently than the label indicates.
