There are three broad categories of medicines - prescription medicines, over-the-counter medicines and complementary medicines. * Prescription Medicines
You can only purchase a prescription medicine if you have a prescription for it from your doctor. Examples of prescription medicines include contraceptive pills, antibiotics and strong painkillers.
* Over the Counter (OTC) Medicines
Over-the-counter products include cough/cold products, mouthwash and sunscreen. You don't need a prescription to obtain OTC products. Some OTC medicines can only be purchased from a pharmacy (chemist), and many are also available from supermarkets and health food shops.
* Complementary Medicines
Complementary medicines (also known as 'traditional' or 'alternative' medicines) include vitamin, mineral, herbal, aromatherapy and homoeopathic products. Like OTC products, these products are available without a prescription.
