Pharmacists pick top OTC medications

The pharmacists' survey responses to show how different brands stack up in 168 over-the-counter product categories.

U.S. News & World Report and Pharmacy Times teamed up with a diverse group of pharmacists to come up with a list of over-the-counter products they recommend.

Their report, Top Recommended Health Products, includes everything from cough, cold and allergy products to oral care, and is available on their U.S. News & World Report's website.

"We see Top Recommended Health Products as a natural extension of our continuous commitment to helping Americans make important health decisions, whether it's choosing a hospital, doctor, dietor medication," they wrote on their website. "U.S. News and Pharmacy Times have combed through pharmacists' survey responses to show how different brands stack up in 168 over-the-counter product categories, from cough suppressants and headache relief, to sleep aids and antacids."
