    NSAID is a Non Steroidal Anti Inflammatory Drug. examples are aspirin, ibuprofen, acetaminophen, naproxin.

    There are OTC (over the counter) versions of Ibuprofen and Naproxin and there are prescription versions with a higher dosage.

    You can find out the other information by looking them up.

    See this good article on wikipedia for NSAIDS

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Non-steroidal_anti-in...

    OCT just means any drugs that you can receive without prescription so it covers a lot more different classes of medication that may have different action, absorption, distribution ect than NSAIDS. You have to chekc for each OCT.
