- **Expectorants:** Aid in clearing mucus from the respiratory tract (e.g., guaifenesin).
3. **Allergy Medications:**
- **Antihistamines:** Used to relieve allergy symptoms such as itching, sneezing, and runny nose.
4. **Digestive Health:**
- **Antacids:** Provide relief from heartburn and indigestion.
- **H2 Blockers:** Reduce stomach acid production (e.g., ranitidine).
- **Laxatives:** Help relieve constipation.
5. **Topical Products:**

Patient counseling involves providing medication information orally or in writing to patients regarding proper use, side effects, storage, and lifestyle changes. The objectives are to improve understanding and compliance, and ensure patients are informed participants in their treatment. Counseling has three stages - introduction, discussing the medication's purpose and usage, and conclusion verifying comprehension. Counseling should address barriers like language or health literacy. For some drugs, counselors should emphasize not taking with dairy for tetracyclines, taking aspirin with food, avoiding alcohol with benzodiazepines, tapering corticosteroids, and lifestyle changes for hypertension medications.
OTC drugs are medicines that can be purchased without a prescription. They make up a large portion of the drug market, with over 100,000 products containing around 800 active ingredients across 80 categories. While convenient for self-treatment, they can also be misused or abused, especially by adolescents. Common OTC drugs that are misused include dextromethorphan (DXM) in cough medicines and stimulants like ephedrine. Clinicians can help prevent misuse by educating patients, reviewing all medications, and encouraging guidance from medical professionals when treating with OTC drugs.
Medication errors are among the top 10 killers worldwide. They occur commonly at different stages such as prescribing, dispensing, storage, and use. Simple measures can help reduce errors, such as using clear handwriting, reading back prescriptions, understanding dosage instructions, checking for drug interactions, and maintaining a medication list.

Cell Therapy Expansion and Challenges in Autoimmune DiseaseHealth Advances
There is increasing confidence that cell therapies will soon play a role in the treatment of autoimmune disorders, but the extent of this impact remains to be seen. Early readouts on autologous CAR-Ts in lupus are encouraging, but manufacturing and cost limitations are likely to restrict access to highly refractory patients. Allogeneic CAR-Ts have the potential to broaden access to earlier lines of treatment due to their inherent cost benefits, however they will need to demonstrate comparable or improved efficacy to established modalities.
In addition to infrastructure and capacity constraints, CAR-Ts face a very different risk-benefit dynamic in autoimmune compared to oncology, highlighting the need for tolerable therapies with low adverse event risk. CAR-NK and Treg-based therapies are also being developed in certain autoimmune disorders and may demonstrate favorable safety profiles. Several novel non-cell therapies such as bispecific antibodies, nanobodies, and RNAi drugs, may also offer future alternative competitive solutions with variable value propositions.
Widespread adoption of cell therapies will not only require strong efficacy and safety data, but also adapted pricing and access strategies. At oncology-based price points, CAR-Ts are unlikely to achieve broad market access in autoimmune disorders, with eligible patient populations that are potentially orders of magnitude greater than the number of currently addressable cancer patients. Developers have made strides towards reducing cell therapy COGS while improving manufacturing efficiency, but payors will inevitably restrict access until more sustainable pricing is achieved.
Despite these headwinds, industry leaders and investors remain confident that cell therapies are poised to address significant unmet need in patients suffering from autoimmune disorders. However, the extent of this impact on the treatment landscape remains to be seen, as the industry rapidly approaches an inflection point.
