Before you buy

Composition matters more than brand here, since the same molecule is sold under many names and at several strengths. Combination products contain more than one active ingredient, which makes accidental double-dosing easy if you also take a single-ingredient product. Some items require a prescription. Ask a pharmacist or registered doctor before use if you have stomach, kidney, liver or heart conditions, are pregnant, or are buying for a child.
