Product Details

Learn to analyze and identify over-the-counter (OTC) drugs including popular pain relievers, such as aspirin, acetaminophen, ibuprofen, Bufferin® and Excedrin® and common antacids. Students test a variety of physical and chemical properties of actual OTC drug samples, then use their test results to analyze unknown pain reliever and antacid samples. Teacher Notes and reproducible student handouts included. Over-the-counter drug samples—pain relievers and antacids—and specialized equipment are provided in the kit. Fifteen 24-well reaction plates are required and available separately.

Complete for 30 students working in pairs.
