Our Take
The Chicago Tribune recently posed an interesting question – "Will FDA warnings prompt innovation in over-the-counter painkillers?"
Their argument is that there has not been many new initiatives when it comes to this area.
"Not much new has happened in the realm of over-the-counter painkillers in recent decades," the newspaper wrote. "Aleve, or naproxen, hit the OTC market in 1994. Tylenol, which contains acetaminophen, was approved for OTC sales in 1959. Aspirin has been around for more than a century."
