Facts and Fiction: Debunking OTC Medication Myths

Browsing the wide range of over-the-counter (OTC) medications can feel overwhelming. Despite being easily accessible, OTC products are not always simple to choose or use. Many people believe these medications are completely safe, but that’s not always true. Misconceptions can lead to improper use, side effects, or ineffective treatment. Understanding the facts behind common myths is key to making safe and informed choices.

About the speaker: Dr. Rusty Ryan retired as an Emeritus Clinical Professor of Family Medicine and Gerontology, Faculty Member of the UMKC School of Medicine from 1974 until 2007. He also worked as a Consultant to KC Metro Long Term Care and Assisted Living Facilities from 1983 until 2014.
