OTC Medicine

Over-the-counter medicines are those that can be bought without a prescription. This section lists the everyday pharmacy items most households keep on hand, ordered online and delivered rather than collected from a counter.

Before you buy

Each product page states the composition, pack size and the directions supplied by the manufacturer. Read them before ordering, particularly the age suitability and any stated cautions. Over-the-counter does not mean a medicine suits everyone — if you take regular medication, are pregnant or breastfeeding, or are buying for a child, a pharmacist or registered doctor can confirm whether a product is appropriate.
