Prescription medicine is better than over the counter medicine, I think
There is an incredibly large industry based around non-prescription medicine and the problem for tyhue public is knowing which ones are effective. Many countries have little control over medicines and so the market is often open to exploitation by unscrupulous individuals.
"I don'thave time to get a prescription so I must ask for an over the counter renmedy."
驚くくらい沢山の"non-prescription medicine"（非処方薬、市販の薬）が産業ベースで多く出回ています。
一般に問題なのはこれらの薬は効果があるという事です。
多くの国では薬品に関しての管理があまりできていない事で、市場は搾取が心無い人々にオープンな事です。
【例】
"I don't have time to get a prescription so I must ask for an over the counter renmedy."
（処方箋んをもらう時間がなかったので処方箋なしの薬をお願いしなきゃいけません）
When talking about medicine that we don't need to see a doctor for that we don't need a prescription for we can use the term, "over the counter," as we can just buy this in a particular store or pharmacy.
