Was having a conversation about OTC insulin with my preceptor and our general view was that insulin is too dangerous to be OTC. Which got me thinking: if patient safety were the only criterion, which current prescription drugs could be made OTC? My contribution: ondansetron and dicyclomine. Not rena

Since my diagnosis I have experimented a great deal with drug combinations (unde

My constipation is extreme and chronic not mild at all and it seriously affects my ability to function. Right now, I’m on prucalopride and Linzess (linaclotide), whic
