Is the patented drug an over-the-counter drug?
No, patented drugs refer to the drugs that were first applied for and obtained patent protection in the world, which is the general name of all drugs. Over-the-counter drugs refer to drugs that consumers can buy directly from pharmacies or hospital pharmacies without a doctor's prescription, and are part of drugs. Because all drugs have prescription drugs and over-the-counter drugs, it means that not all drugs are over-the-counter drugs.
