Hi Reddit! This is Shanley Chien, senior editor of health at U.S. News & World Report.
Last month, we released our fourth annual edition of the Best OTC Medicine & Health Products rankings of 128 over-the-counter categories – including 11 new product categories like creatine, menopause supplements, collagen peptides, and digestive enzymes.
With thousands of options available on pharmacy shelves, choosing the right product can be a daunting task. These rankings aim to simplify that process and provide clarity for your everyday health decisions by highlighting the brands that health care professionals actually recommend.
In partnership with global market research firm The Harris Poll, we surveyed 357 pharmacists and 129 dermatologists practicing in the United States to find out which brands they trust most. This year, brands like Nature Made, CeraVe, and La Roche-Posay led the pack with the most No. 1 products across specialized supplements, skincare, and everyday remedies.
You can read more about U.S. News’ methodology here and explore the full rankings here.
Whether you're wondering which brands topped specific categories or looking for tips on navigating the pharmacy aisle, I'm here to help. Ask me anything!
