Many over the counter drugs (OTCs) are just lower-dosage versions of prescription drugs. For instance, the OTC motion sickness treatment, Bonine, is identical to the prescription drug, Antivert. If you have a symptom that has responded well to a prescription drug in the past, ask the pharmacist if perhaps it exists in OTC form. Depending on your health insurance coverage, you'll save lots of money by not paying the prescription price.
