Asker: Thank you Nick - yes, I was thinking 'over-the-counter'

Asker: Thank you Spiro - also a good answer

2 hrs confidence:

peer agreement (net): +2

commercial drug

Explanation:
I don't think we can say over-the-counter drug/medication as this implies a drug without a prescriction. The Greek phrase implies a drug in general (with/without prescription, so I'd go with commercial drug. Good luck!
