Even though vitamins, pain relievers and allergy pills are widely available, there's a limit to how much you should take on your own.

Say you’re taking an over-the-counter NSAID ― a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug ― for pain relief, and you don’t disclose this to your doctor. If you go to your doctor’s office with pain that they diagnose as arthritis or some other inflammation, they may give you an NSAID or equivalent prescription to take.
Plus, the persistent symptoms you’re masking with OTC medications could be a sign of an underlying condition that your doctor can help you nail down and treat.
