Can anyone tell me what is the best OTC guide for a new retail pharmacist? Thanks!

Anyway here are the answers to 99.9% of OTC questions will encounter as a pharmacist: Motrin, Tylenol, Robitussin-DM, hydrocortisone cream, Orajel, Lotrimin, your kids are too young for otc cough syrups, Thera-Flu is currently unavailable, and go see your doctor.

Thanks! Do you recommend any text book? I understand there is a short version of APHA OTC drug manual recently published. Is that a good one?

Honestly that pharmacy times link is really all you need for OTC recommendations. Just pick a favorite in each category and recommend that every time. As long as you appear confident in your recommendation the patient will listen to whatever you say.

You forgot a laxative.
