AB  - Over-the-counter  analgesics,  such  as  salicylates  (ASA)  and  acetaminophen  (APAP),  can  result  in  fatal  overdose,  but  early  identification  of  toxicity  and  initiation  of  appropriate  treatment  can  significantly  reduce  mortality  from  these  exposures.  Nonsteroidal  anti-inflammatory  drug  (NSAID)  overdoses  are  rarely  fatal  and  typically  require  only  supportive  care.  The  widespread  availability  of  these  medications  in  over-the-counter  preparations,  and  in  other  products  (e.g.,  ASA  in  oil  of  wintergreen,  APAP  in  cough  and  cold  preparations),  can  lead  to  both  intentional  and  accidental  toxicity.
