A growing number of individuals worldwide select medicines themselves for the prevention or treatment of common ailments, as well as nutritional supplements to support a healthy diet. Many of them place their trust in tried-and-true nonprescription products from Bayer HealthCare's Consumer Care Division. One example is Aspirin, a more than 110-year-old brand that enjoys an unsurpassed level of global familiarity.
The Consumer Care Division specializes in medicines available without a prescription, also known as over-the-counter (OTC) products.
