Leading firms in the over-the-counter (OTC) analgesics market have begun to create educational pilots aimed at boosting consumer awareness regarding correct usage, dosage, as well as possible side effects. This approach enhances safe habits for self-medication and minimizes the chances of misuse. Through these educational pilots, consumers receive specific information and instruction about correct usage, dosage, and potential hazards of these medications, promoting safety and efficacy, strengthening consumer trust, and facilitating well-informed choices in pain management. In 2022, the US-based Consumer Healthcare Products Association (CHPA) Educational Foundation released an initiative to assist consumers in selecting suitable OTC pain relievers like Advil, Tylenol, and DG health items. This pilot uses digital tools, such as QR code tags on Dollar General shelves, to link to an interactive quiz, elevating consumer education. This effort plays a critical role in the OTC analgesics market as it addresses health literacy gaps, advises on informed pain relief decisions, eventually enhancing consumer decision-making, and increasing engagement with the product.
