Task prompt

I’m helping a family member understand the commonly available medicines for managing occasional pain and fever in the United States. Research the major over-the-counter options, compare how they work, when they are commonly used, important safety considerations, interactions, and U.S. labeling, and create a clear evidence-based guide. Also cover the FDA regulatory context, including any recalls or safety communications that are current when the research is done, and record typical retail cost and availability for representative products at major U.S. pharmacies as observed at the time of research. Do not make a personalized treatment recommendation; the goal is to give us reliable information to discuss with a pharmacist or healthcare professional.
