Abstract
Pharmacy shelves are stocked with plenty of over-the-counter medications that promise to treat asthma and allergies—but do they really work?
Some of them are quite effective, but others may not be.
In fact, some of them may be harmful if used improperly.
Here is what you should know before you take your next trip down the pharmacy aisle.
