The difference between prescription and over-the-counter drugs:
The main difference between the two is whether drugs can only be used with a doctor's prescription, or whether they can be bought and used in pharmacies without a doctor's prescription. The main differences are as follows:
1, prescription drugs
You need a doctor's prescription to use it. If there is no doctor's prescription, you can't buy and use it yourself. Relatively speaking, when using prescription drugs in clinic, the risk of drug use may be relatively large, and there are many matters needing attention. For example, when using antibacterial drugs, there must be clear indications of bacterial infection, and pay attention to its dosage and course of treatment to avoid abuse of antibacterial drugs.

Class A OTC drugs are marked with red characters on a red background. Class B OTC drugs are green OTC signs, that is, white characters on a green background.
There are also differences between Class A OTC drugs and Class B OTC drugs in management. For example, Class B OTC drugs can be sold in places such as pharmacies, hotels and supermarkets.
