What About Over-the-Counter (OTC) Cold & Flu Medicines?
You might search for the best flu medicine for adults over the counter, or try cold and flu medication from the pharmacy. And while these OTC options (like ibuprofen or decongestants) can help with mild symptoms…
- Prescription antiviral medications like Tamiflu are more effective and only available from a licensed provider— especially when started within the first 48 hours of symptoms.
We help you choose the best treatment plan based on your symptoms — whether that’s guidance for OTC cold remedies or sending a prescription directly to your pharmacy.
