In nasal preparations for adult use and in ophthalmic products, what is their schedule?

Nasal preparations for adult use and ophthalmic products generally fall under the classification of unscheduled products, meaning they can be sold without a prescription and are accessible for consumer purchase in various settings, including retail pharmacies and stores.

This classification is often due to their low potential for misuse and their low risk when used as directed for common conditions, such as allergies or eye irritation. As there are no significant restrictions on their sale, these products allow consumers to self-manage certain health issues effectively.

In contrast, Schedule 1, Schedule 2, and Schedule 3 products typically involve more stringent regulations, requiring a pharmacist's intervention or prescription due to considerations like safety, potential for dependency, or the need for professional guidance in their use.
