hi,

as given in UW world, for foot pain case, can we advise the patient to

to take ibuprofen which is available as over the counter drug , along with footrest.

I am confused,because STEP2 cs TUTORIALS SAY U CANNOT PRESCRIBE ANY MEDICATIONS.
BUT AS IBUPROFEN IS AVAILALE AS OVER THE COUNTER ADVISING THAT WOULD NOT BE SAME AS PRESCRIBING.
CAN SOMEBODY PLEASE CLEAR THE DOUBT.

I read that senario too in the UW but i dont think its a good idea to advice patient to take advil without careful instructions. We have something else to say!!!!
