Getting good drugs mostly comes from prescribed ones, I feel over-the counter painkillers are for minor sickness which are not life threatening. If someone is having pain, over-the-counter drugs can be used . But if it's serious it is important to get proper prescriptions from a physician.

Why people get drugs over the counter is because of the nearness to people and fewer protocols, a times it's relatively affordable compared to prescribed drugs

I can't condemn over-the-counter drugs because I'm guilty of using it that does not mean I can take prescribed medicine when need arise, the only over the counter drugs that I'm against is the one gotten from quacks, that's from those who are not knowledgeable about medicine.
