   Question: How are Medicines in Singapore grouped?

Answer: Licensed medicines in Singapore are grouped into three Categories:

  1. OTC (Over the Counter) or GSL (General Sales List).  These medicines may be bought without the supervision of a pharmacist or doctor. Example: paracetamol/asprin
  2. "Pharmacy Only" medicines can only be dispensed by a pharmacist. Example: mild steroid creams
  3. "Prescription Only" medicines can be bought only with a prescription.  Example: angina pills, and medicines for hypertension/diabetes and cholesterol
