You can buy many medicines without needing to see you doctor. These are often called 'over-the-counter' medicines. They are safe and effective as long as you follow the directions that come with them. Many medicines, that at one time you could only get with a doctor's prescription, you can now buy from your pharmacy, where a pharmacist is always on hand to give advice on how to use medicines properly. You can also buy some over-the-counter medicines in supermarkets and local shops.

MedicineChestOnline.com is a directory of medicines and food supplements that are available 'over the counter' (OTC) from your pharmacist. PAGB produce this advice as a printed reference available only to the industry and this site bridges the gap allowing the general public to find products that might help treat or relieve symptoms and to give advice on self-medicating safely and health maintenance and other elements of self-care.
