Journal Title: Journal of General Internal Medicine - Year 2003, Vol 18, Issue 4

Little is known about how the public uses formerly prescription medications that are available over-the-counter (OTC). This study examines whether consumers inappropriately use and substitute a recently widely distributed OTC urinary analgesic, phenazopyridine, for provider care.
