Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Prescription drugs are usually more specific to a certain condition or illness, and the frequency of the drug can be controlled by the physician. OTC drugs, on the other hand, are easily obtainable by the consumer and do not require a physician's prescription. Option A is incorrect as prescription drugs may also be obtained by other healthcare providers such as nurse practitioners, physician assistants, and dentists. Option B is incorrect because OTC drugs are easily obtainable, not prescription drugs.
