ONE in three Americans take over-the-counter pain medication every single day, new research suggests.
In a poll of 2,000 adults, 20% reported taking OTC pain medications once a day and 12% take it “a few times a day.”
Even so, respondents seemed more interested in avoiding pain altogether; 57% prefer a preventative approach, compared to 15% who tend to react to pain after it’s already started.
Over-the-counter medication proved to be the most popular form of primary preventative action (42% of respondents), followed closely by myofascial release tools like foam rollers and back wheels (39%).
