otc medicine :: Article Creator Free The Meds: 5 Drugs You Should Be Able To Buy Over The Counter The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approves not only which drugs can go to market but also whether they require a prescription from a doctor. The agency gets this power from the Durham-Humphrey Amendment of 1951. Meant to protect patients, the law has turned into a license to make life difficult. Here are five low-risk drugs that the FDA could make available over the counter today. (Illustration: Wikimedia) Albuterol: Research shows that albuterol is vastly superior at relieving asthma symptoms compared to other inhalers, which is why it's offered over the counter in Singapore, Australia, Slovenia, and South Africa.
