      They do. I’ve gotten a prescription before for 800mg pills of ibuprofen. OTC is generally 200mg pills.

      They do, it just depends on the drugs. Sometimes you might even need a prescription for a heavier dose than what OTC might offer.

          No, it makes it OTC up until a fixed dosage. Naproxen for example is basically Aleve, an OTC pain killer. However you can only get 500mg+ tablets of Naproxen through prescriptions because they’re reserved for people with real pain problems.

            … which makes it not otc, you literally just described exactly what I’m saying and are telling me it’s the opposite.

                  I think his whole point is that it’s still over the counter like Aleve. Just at a lower dosage, but you’re still getting it over the counter. Take 2 Aleves for the same 500mg effect.
