What is in the Alternatives section of Epocrates OTC monographs?
The Alternatives section of Epocrates OTC monographs includes various links to similar products to allow for easy and fast alternative product selection. First, other OTC products with the same active ingredients, but which may be available in other formulations that are more appropriate for a given patient, are listed, if available. Below that are links to search for other products (Rx and OTC) in the same subclass and in related subclasses. The related subclass links often allow you to quickly exclude an ingredient that is inappropriate, unsafe, or otherwise undesired for a given patient, or to add another ingredient that he or she needs.
