FAQ / OTC & First Aid

Frequently asked.

Answers to the questions clinical buyers and care teams ask most about this product category.

Are these FSA/HSA eligible?

Yes — the CARES Act permanently reinstated OTC medications as FSA/HSA eligible without a prescription. Feminine hygiene products are also eligible. Confirm specific items with your plan administrator.

Do I need a prescription for these?

No — all products in this category are available over the counter without a prescription. However, some are kept behind the pharmacy counter (e.g., pseudoephedrine) and require ID.

What goes in an OSHA-compliant first-aid kit?

ANSI Z308.1-2015 specifies contents for Class A (general office) and Class B (higher-risk workplaces): bandages, antiseptics, burn treatment, eye wash, gloves, CPR barrier, and more. Review your facility's risk classification.

How should I store OTC medications in a clinical setting?

Store at controlled room temperature (68–77°F), away from direct sunlight and humidity. Check expiration dates during routine inventory audits. Keep controlled-access items in locked cabinets per facility policy.
