What does 'Stop and ask a doctor if...' usually indicate on OTC drug labels?

  1. Side effects and substances to avoid

  2. Contraindications

  3. Drug-drug interactions

  4. Signs of toxicity

The correct answer is: Signs of toxicity

"Stop and ask a doctor if..." on OTC drug labels usually indicates that certain symptoms or signs of toxicity may arise while taking the medication, and it is important to consult a doctor if any of these symptoms occur. This option is typically listed as a precautionary measure to ensure the safety of the consumer. The other options, while important to consider when taking any medication, are not necessarily the main focus of this warning. Side effects and substances to avoid may be listed separately on the label, while contraindications and drug-drug interactions can also be found under their own sections. However, signs of toxicity are often more severe and may require immediate medical attention, making it important to stop and consult a doctor if these symptoms arise.
