title: Over-the-counter analgesics.
abstract: The increasing availability of analgesic drugs from a variety of outlets may be seen as a welcome development by manufacturers and consumers, but there are poorly acknowledged dangers associated with injudicious usage. Maggie Clarence outlines the properties of the most common products on the market, and emphasises the need for sound patient education from suitably trained personnel.
