NEW YORK, Oct. 19, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Zion Market Research has published a new report titled "Over-the-Counter Drugs Market by Product (Cough & Flu Products, Analgesics, Cold, Weight Loss Products, Mineral and Vitamin Supplements, Gastrointestinal Products, Ophthalmic Products, Skin Products, and Others): Global Industry Perspective, Comprehensive Analysis and Forecast, 2020 – 2026" According to this research report, global demand for over-the-counter drugs market was valued at approximately USD 142.4 Billion in 2019, and is expected to generate revenue of around USD 223.5 Billion by end of 2026, growing at a CAGR of around 6.8% between 2020 and 2026.

The medicines which can be bought without a doctor's prescription as referred as over the counter drugs. Some of the over the counter medicines help in relieving itches, pains, and aches whereas some of these medicines help in the prevention or cure of diseases. Prescription medicines, on the other hand, can be sold only after displaying a verified prescription. In majority of the countries, over the counter drugs are designated by a governing agency to ensure that the drugs contain ingredients which are effective and safe when adopted without a doctor's care. Over the counter drugs are frequently regulated with respect to their active pharmaceutical ingredient (API) instead of final products. By monitoring APIs in place of precise drug formulations, administrations allow producers the freedom to develop components, or mixtures of components, into exclusive mixtures.
