They don't though.
They do. I've gotten a prescription before for 800mg pills of ibuprofen. OTC is generally 200mg pills.
They do, it just depends on the drugs. Sometimes you might even need a prescription for a heavier dose than what OTC might offer.
That makes it not otc...
No, it makes it OTC up until a fixed dosage. Naproxen for example is basically Aleve, an OTC pain killer. However you can only get 500mg+ tablets of Naproxen through prescriptions because they're reserved for people with real pain problems.
... which makes it not otc, you literally just described exactly what I'm saying and are telling me it's the opposite.
But I can't buy 500mg tablets over the counter
Which makes it not OTC.
Forget it, I'm just going to block and move on.
I think his whole point is that it's still over the counter like Aleve. Just at a lower dosage, but you're still getting it over the counter. Take 2 Aleves for the same 500mg effect.
