IV. Costs of Misdiagnosis, Adverse Events,

To date, relatively little analysis has been conducted
regarding the costs of misdiagnosis, adverse drug reactions

The reason these areas remain unexplored is

information on these areas is not suffi ciently
detailed to attribute these instances to OTC drug use.
