The answer depends entirely on what the prescription drug is and what symptoms you want to treat with a flu medication. Your best approach to determine this is to talk to your pharmacist. Tell them what prescription drugs are taken, tell them the flu symptoms you want to treat and ask them to recommend over the counter medicines that will help with your symptoms and are compatible with your prescription drugs. We often forget the great resource we have in our local pharmacists, they are better able to answer this type of question than anyone.

That depends on the following conditions: If the painkillers are over the counter such as ibuprofen or acetaminophen, then there is no problem with taking over the counter medication regardless of your profession. If you have a prescription from a physician for your painkillers, then there is no problem with taking your prescribed medication in the dosage assigned by your physician regardless of your profession. If you are required to take a drug examination, simply release your physician's prescription records to your employer for comparison against the drug panel. If you are taking controlled substances without a prescription from a recognized physician, that is a problem in all professions.
