Prescription and Synthetic Drug Abuse Information
A prescription drug (or POM Prescription Only Medicine, in UK) is a licensed medicine that is regulated by legislation to require a prescription before it can be obtained. The term is used to distinguish it from over the counter drugs which can be obtained without a prescription. Different jurisdictions have different definitions of what constitutes a prescription drug. As a general rule, over the counter drugs are used to treat conditions not necessarily requiring a doctor's care and will have been proven to meet higher safety standards for self-medication by patients. Often a lower dosage of a drug will be approved for OTC use, while higher dosages will remain the province of a doctor's prescription; a notable case is ibuprofen, which has been widely available as an OTC pain killer since the mid-1980s but is still available in doses up to four times the OTC dose for use in cases of severe orthopedic pain.

message is don’t even think about it.

The American culture holds fast to a certain perception regarding
prescription medication - because it is prescribed by a doctor,
purchased at a pharmacy and contained within official looking
plastic bottles, these medications are safe when taken by anyone at
any time. This isn’t necessarily true, which has led to widespread
abuse of
