E-DRUG: Over the Counter Drugs

EDRUG: Over-The-Counter (OTC) Drugs (2)
---------------------------------------

There were a series of articles in the British Medical Journal (BMJ)
by C Bradley and A. Blenkinsopp about OTC drugs - largely from a
sociological rather than a pharmacological persective, published
around May 1996.
