The prescription strength of such medications is determined by the measured quantity of the therapeutic agent to be taken at one time, i.e., a single dose. The single dosages that are considered prescription strength for four common over-the-counter drugs are:
- Ibuprofen (such as Advil™) – greater than 467 mg
- Diphenhydramine (such as Benadryl™) – greater than 50 mg
- Naproxen Sodium (such as Aleve™) – greater than 220 mg
- Ketoprofen (such as Orudus KT™) – greater than 25mg
To determine the prescription-strength dosages for other drugs that are available in prescription and non-prescription formulations, the employer should contact OSHA, the United States Food and Drug Administration, their local pharmacist or their physician.
