Medicines for self-medication (over-the-counter, OTC) are available through pharmacies, in some countries they are also available in supermarkets and other outlets. The use of OTC in European Union countries shows some differences at national level, in pharmacies and in patients preference. This study aimed to completing the lists of marketed OTC in Czech Republic and Greece. Next topics are: finding out the real range of OTC products offered by pharmacies, finding and evaluating number of packages sold in pharmacies in 20 particular common OTC in 2016, and indentification of factors influencing the sales. Web pages of national drug authorities (Czech Republic, Greece) were searched to complete lists of marketed OTC in each country. Data on range of OTC drugs and sales of them were extracted from computer systems (Czech Republic) and other types of documents (Greece) kept in pharmacies. The percentage of the real range of OTC products in pharmacies was calculated as the ratio to the number of OTC in national lists. Numbers of sold packages were compared among pharmacies. Classification system ATC (anatomical/therapeutical/chemical) was employed to present findings in all parts of the research. The Czech list contained 1,160 of marketed OTC in 10 ATC (1st level), with the maximum in ATC R (243 drugs). The Greek list contained 1,254 OTC in 13 ATC (1st level), with the maximum in ATC D (272 drugs). In lists of both countries, there were detected 86 drugs identical in 9 ATC (1st level). At least one OTC in each of 10 listed ATC was found in Czech pharmacies as a part of range of products, the range of OTC in Greek pharmacies comprised 11 ATC. The highest sales (year 2016) were found in ATC R (drug ACC long tbl eff) in CR and in ATC A (drug: Imodium cps) in Greece. The differences in the range of OTC drugs and in their sales were found between Czech Republic and Greece, and between types of pharmacies inside each country. Factors influencing them were detected: ownership of the pharmacy, locality (number of inhabitants). OTC drugs pharmacy Czech Republic Greece.
用于自我药疗（非处方药，OTC）的药品可通过药店购得，在一些国家，它们也可在超市及其他销售点买到。在欧盟国家，非处方药的使用在国家层面、药店以及患者偏好方面存在一些差异。本研究旨在完善捷克共和国和希腊已上市非处方药的清单。接下来的主题包括：查明药店提供的非处方药的实际范围，查找并评估2016年20种常见非处方药在药店的销售包装数量，以及确定影响销售的因素。搜索了国家药品管理部门（捷克共和国、希腊）的网页，以完善每个国家已上市非处方药的清单。从药店保存的计算机系统（捷克共和国）和其他类型文件（希腊）中提取了非处方药范围及其销售的数据。药店中非处方药实际范围的百分比计算为与国家清单中非处方药数量的比率。比较了各药店的销售包装数量。采用解剖学/治疗学/化学分类系统（ATC）来呈现研究各部分的结果。捷克清单在10个ATC（第一级）中有1160种已上市非处方药，其中ATC R中的数量最多（243种药品）。希腊清单在13个ATC（第一级）中有1254种非处方药，其中ATC D中的数量最多（272种药品）。在两国清单中，在9个ATC（第一级）中检测到86种相同的药品。在捷克药店中发现，所列10个ATC中的每一个至少有一种非处方药作为产品范围的一部分，希腊药店中的非处方药范围包括11个ATC。2016年销售额最高的是捷克共和国ATC R（药品ACC long tbl eff）和希腊ATC A（药品：易蒙停胶囊）。在捷克共和国和希腊之间以及每个国家内不同类型的药店之间，发现了非处方药范围及其销售方面的差异。检测到了影响它们的因素：药店所有权、地点（居民数量）。非处方药 药店 捷克共和国 希腊
