Free guide · The Medicine Cabinet Report Card

We graded 15 drugstore staples by the evidence.

Three earned an A. Five fell short.

• A grade for each, from cold pills and sleep aids to pain relievers and heartburn tablets
• What the trials found for each, and the caution where one applies
• A page to check the cabinet at home, with questions for the pharmacist
