Top OTC Drugs Ones That Kinda Work

Oh, boy, do I love the slow summer months. CBS 3’s Stephanie Stahl yesterday reported on the top over-the-counter medications, riffing off a report from the American Pharmacists Association.

What are the best over-the-counter medicines, you might ask? Well, CBS 3 studied the report and let its viewers know just what the best OTC meds are: The ones you already have in your medicine cabinet!

The best for relieving itchy skin irritations is Cortizone-10, according to a new survey from the American Pharmacists Association of five thousand pharmacists. [...] And pharmacists recommend Sudafed to clear up a stuffy nose. [...] Some other best selections from the pharmacists include Midol for menstrual pain and Unisom for a better nights sleep.

What is this new “Cortizone-10″ they speak of? I can assume the group also recommends aspirin for pain — no more sucking on the bark of a willow tree! (Also, I’ve been telling everyone I know that “Sudafed PE” crap doesn’t work. Suck it up and get put on the government’s list of potential meth cooks and get the good shit from behind the counter.)
