Ingredient Lists
The updated lists ("Legal classification status of selected ingredients worldwide," "Legal classification status of selected ingredients in the new-EU and non EU European countries," and "Legal classification status of selected ingredients in the European Union of 15") are available via the AESGP and WSMI websites at http://www.aesgp.be/publications/otcIngredientTables.asp  and http://www.wsmi.org/otc.htm.

AESGP-WSMI updated ingredient lists point to increasing switch activity
Cataloguing which ingredients are being approved by regulatory authorities for use without a medical prescription is one of the ways of measuring the development of self-medication around the world.
The recently updated ingredients lists reflect changes in 2006, and includes the legal status of over 200 ingredients widely used in self-medication around the world. Statistics show that these lists are among the top items looked at on the AESGP web site.

The grouping of ingredients by use or action follows the Anatomical Therapeutic Chemical (ATC) classification system established by the World Health Organization (WHO) – see http://www.whocc.no/atcddd/ – and does not necessarily reflect an ingredient's OTC indication in a given country.
