Knowing a fairly small number of ingredient names can help consumers identify the active ingredients in the OTC product and compare it with other products for the same purpose. This can assist in making an informed decision about which product to choose.

Asking advice from friends who have taken OTC products may also not be reliable or relevant to an individual's own health needs.
