Over-the-counter (OTC) medications pose a significant risk of drug interactions and medication errors that may lead to harm, especially in pediatric and elderly patients. What reasonable action can a pharmacy take to decrease these potential dangers? Redesign OTC aisles to facilitate better interaction with older adults or parents of young children regarding OTC purchase. Place the most dangerous drugs on the bottom shelves so they are less visible. Remove access to ibuprofen, aspirin, acetaminophen, and diphenhydramine because they are the four most frequently used drugs. Make the OTC ingredients less visible, as they only confuse patients.
