What is the difference between over the counter drugs and prescription medicines?

There is a huge difference between prescription drugs and over-the-counter drugs. Prescription drugs are as follows: *Prescribed by a doctor *Bought at a pharmacy *Prescribed for and designated to be used by one person *Regulated by the FDA (Food and Drug Administration) through the NDA (New Drug Application) process. This is the official step that a drug sponsor takes to ask that the FDA consider approving a new drug for marketing in the United States.

You can visit the following link for more info on the NDA process: http://www.fda.gov/Drugs/ResourcesForYou/Consumers/ucm143534.htm Over-the-Counter drugs are as follows: *Drugs that do not require a doctor’s prescription *Purchased off the shelf in stores *Regulated by the FDA through OTC (Over-the-Counter) Drug monographs. OTC drug monographs are a kind of rule book that covers what is acceptable as far as ingredients, doses, formulations, and labeling.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
