Drugs for self-medication in the future: their source and the social, political, and regulatory climate
Drug Information Journal 1985; 19:(2):195-199

Abstract:

The question of where new drugs are going to come from, and how we are going to assure that they will be sold over the counter and not on prescription is addressed. The issue is whether industry, government, and consumers will be able to make the evaluation of OTC drugs proceed as it should to expand the number and kind of OTC drugs available.
