About this course

New OTC status drugs are often not extensively advertised or covered in continuing education. With patients able to buy these products without a prescription, pharmacists and technicians need to be knowledgeable about their role in therapy, potential adverse reactions, and interactions with current medications.This CE will discuss both novel drug approvals designated as OTC status and drugs which have been re-categorized from prescription to OTC status over the past 5 years. We will discuss each drug's contraindications, side effects, counseling points, and role in self-care therapy. This will aid community and outpatient pharmacists and technicians in selecting the best self-care products for their patients.

Dawn O.Nutritionist

I am always interested in continuing education in the areas of health, wellness, nutrition and mental health. Your course was well written, well organized and helpful in meeting state licensure requirements.

Priya M.Occupational Therapist

Very well written, easy to digest, time efficient, and straight to the point. Thank you!

Cristina GRegistered Nurse

I appreciate the convenience of the course being online and accessible through my phone and that it directly reports to CEBroker to support mandated education requirements.

Allison B.Nurse Practitioner

I really loved this information. I was hospitalized last year for almost a month and I noticed multiple medical errors (not being hooked up to my IV multiple times, given wrong medication which caused my sodium to be very low, etc.) which lengthened my stay. I can now define those exact errors and better understand what happened to me. I hate that these medical errors are so common and I appreciate how well laid out your breakdown and categorization of them was.

Ronald H.Dentist
