Additionally, some drugs that are available over the counter in other countries may require a prescription in Israel. Overall, OTC drugs can be a convenient and affordable way to treat minor health issues in Israel.

One factor that can affect the affordability of OTC drugs in Israel is the country's healthcare system. Israel has a national healthcare system that provides coverage for many medical services and treatments, but OTC drugs are generally not covered. This means that patients are responsible for paying for these medications out of pocket. Thus, availability of the over-the-counter drugs in the retail pharmacies and drug stores cuts the extra expense of visiting a physician. However, there are some programs in some places in Israel to help make healthcare more affordable for Israeli residents. For example, some health insurance plans may cover the cost of certain OTC medications or offer discounts on these drugs. Additionally, there are government subsidies available for people with certain chronic health conditions that require ongoing medication. The affordability of OTC drugs in Israel can vary depending on several factors. While these medications are generally less expensive than prescription drugs, it's still important to compare prices and consider different options to ensure getting the best value as the over-the-counter drugs in Israel are comparatively high in price than those available in the other countries.

There are many reasons of why people are getting more inclined towards practicing self-medication. One of the primary reasons is convenience, as over-the-counter medications are readily available and can be purchased without a prescription. In some cases, people are hesitant to seek medical advice or treatment, either due to cost concerns, time constraints, or a belief that their symptoms are not serious enough to require medical attention. To address this growing trend of self-medication, healthcare providers, and regulatory bodies in Israel and around the world are emphasizing the importance of responsible medication use and seeking medical advice when needed. By encouraging responsible medication use and increasing access to medical advice and treatment, it is hoped that the trend of self-medication can be safely and effectively managed.

E-pharmacies have become increasingly popular in recent years, and they play an important role in the sale and distribution of over the counter (OTC) drugs. One of the primary benefits of e-pharmacies for the sale of OTC drugs is convenience. Customers can easily browse and purchase medications online, often with the option of home delivery. This can be particularly helpful for individuals who may have mobility issues, live in remote areas, or have busy schedules that make it difficult to visit a physical pharmacy. In addition to convenience, e-pharmacies may offer a wider selection of OTC drugs than traditional pharmacies, including international brands and specialty products that may not be available in local drugstores. E-pharmacies may offer discounts and promotions, which can make OTC medications more affordable for customers.

Isrameds is the only international pharmacy with an Israel based that has formally announced its "Lowest Price Guarantee policy" and offers its Over-the-Counter drug sales online to customers worldwide, including those in America.
