Please note:

  1. The acronym OTC in the results means that at least one dosage or form of the ingredient has "non-prescription status" in the country concerned. This is totally independent from the reimbursement or advertising status of a product containing the ingredient or combination of ingredients in question.
  2. Wherever possible, additional information for products is provided. The absence of additional information does not mean that there are no particular restrictions in relation to the non-prescription use of the ingredient. 
  3. The classification of ingredients follows the Anatomical Therapeutic Chemical (ATC) classification system established by the World Health Organization (WHO). For ease of reference, ingredients are listed only in the ATC class where non-prescription use is most likely to occur.  This does not exclude use of the ingredient in other organ systems/disease areas. The application of the classification system should not be interpreted as a recommendation from AESGP or WSMI on the use of ingredients
