Historically, RWE studies have been the domain of prescription drugs, driven by the fact that clinical data on patients are routinely captured in medical records, claims databases, registries, etc. However, RWE reports of nonprescription drugs and supplements are relatively sparse due to methodological gaps in this area. The objective of this narrative review is to identify which RWE methodologies have been used to study nonprescription products. A total of 49 articles were included based on literature searches. Label comprehension studies, used to support prescription-to-nonprescription switches, are useful in determining how nonprescription products will be used; however, they provide no actual clinical data. The most common RWE studies of nonprescription products were cross-sectional surveys, which investigated a broad range of indications and were conducted in an array of settings, including online, by phone, point-of-sale (pharmacy), outpatient clinics, and shopping malls. However, while this type of study is effective for identifying use patterns and attitudes in the general population, recall bias limits the ability to collect safety and effectiveness data. Studies of electronic medical records and claims databases are hampered by incomplete or absent capturing of data on nonprescription products. As a result, most RWE studies to date have provided limited useful information. Although case reports and expert opinion should not be discounted, in the absence of other information they provide few actual data. Novel approaches using smartphone apps and artificial intelligence may provide new opportunities to collect RWE for nonprescription products, but these areas of research are in their infancy. Overall, there is a need to develop standards for execution of RWE studies of nonprescription products in terms of endpoints, study design, and study quality.</p>","PeriodicalId":20399,"journal":{"name":"Pragmatic and Observational Research","volume":"16 ","pages":"7-18"},"PeriodicalIF":2.3,"publicationDate":"2025-01-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11771160/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143053317","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
