A medication that can be bought over the counter is generally at a weaker dosage than if it was prescribed by a doctor. So a non prescription strength might be a pill of 10mg strength, whereas if it was via a prescription, the strength may be at 100mg.

No. It is only OSHA recordable if the Over the Counter (OTC) recommended doseage is exceeded. If the OTC doseage is not exceeded, it is considered first aid.
