About Drug Facts


In the United States, the term "Drug Facts" refers to the standardized labeling found on over-the-counter (OTC) medications. This labeling is required by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to provide consumers with clear and consistent information about the medicine. The "Drug Facts" label typically includes the following key sections:

Active Ingredients

Lists the active components of the medicine and their purpose.

Uses

Describes the symptoms or conditions the medicine is intended to treat.

Warnings

Provides important safety information, including potential side effects, conditions under which the medicine should not be used, and interactions with other drugs or medical conditions.

Directions

Offers specific instructions on how to use the medicine, including dosage, frequency, and duration.

Other Information

May include additional details such as storage instructions or information about inactive ingredients.

Inactive Ingredients

Lists components that do not have a therapeutic effect but are part of the formulation.

This standardized format helps consumers make informed decisions about using OTC medications safely and effectively.
