ABOUT THIS SESSION

Over-the-counter medicines may seem harmless, but are they always safe? From painkillers and cold remedies to acidity and allergy tablets, self-medication is becoming increasingly common — often without understanding the risks, side effects, or dangerous drug interactions. In this insightful conversation with IJCP, Dr. RM Chhabra unpacks the facts every patient must know before reaching for an OTC medicine. Learn when these drugs help, when they harm, and why “easily available” does not always mean “completely safe.” A must-watch discussion for smarter, safer, and more responsible medication use.
