Drug Facts help you understand how to choose and use your medicines safely

  1. Keep your cartons. Why?

    • The Drug Facts label on OTC medicine cartons, or the pull-out label on some bottles, contains complete warnings and product information

  2. Read and follow the entire Drug Facts label. Why?

    • The Drug Facts label contains more than directions. It includes other important information that could matter to your health

  3. What else you can do

    • If provided, use only the dosing device that comes with your medicine

    • Take ONLY 1 medicine that contains the same kind of active ingredient at a time. Why?

      • If you take more than 1 medicine with the same kind of active ingredient, it can increase your chance of harmful side effects
