以下は典型的なOTC相談の会話例(4つ)です。
トーンや流れの参考にしてください。

OTC Medicine Consultation 1
■ Scene Setting (Basic Information)
Location: Drugstore near Ritsumeikan University
Pharmacist: Naoko Kariya
Patient: Ema
Chief Complaint (Symptom): Headache
Duration of Symptoms: About two days
Current Medications: None
Allergies: Sesame allergy
Patient Profile: International student, 26 years old
Overview of the Conversation: The patient visits the drugstore to buy a painkiller because she has been experiencing a headache.
 ■ Script
Pharmacist: Hello. Thank you for waiting. How can I help you today?
Patient: Hi. I have a headache, so I’m looking for something for the pain.
Pharmacist: Okay. When did it start?
Patient: Hmm, let’s see… about two days ago.
Pharmacist: Is it there all day, or does it come and go?
Patient: Yes, it’s there most of the day.
Pharmacist: Have you ever had this kind of headache before?
Patient: Yes. When it happens, I usually take a painkiller, but I just ran out of it.
Pharmacist: Right. Do you have any other symptoms, like nausea, dizziness, or sensitivity to light?
Patient: No, not really.
Pharmacist: Okay. Before I make any recommendation, I’d like to ask you a few questions. Do you have any allergies?
Patient: Yes, I’m allergic to sesame.
Pharmacist: I see. Have you ever felt unwell after taking any medication?
Patient: No, I haven’t.
Pharmacist: Okay. Are you pregnant or breastfeeding?
Patient: No, I’m not.
Pharmacist: Do you smoke?
Patient: No, I don’t.
Pharmacist: Do you drink alcohol?
Patient: No, I don’t.
Pharmacist: Thank you. Well, in that case, I recommend “Head Sutto.” You’ll take two tablets at a time, and it’s best not to take it on an empty stomach. Try to have it with food or a snack, or at least a full glass of water. You can take it up to three times a day if you need it, but make sure you wait at least four hours between doses. This medicine has ibuprofen in it, and it’s made to dissolve quickly, so it should start working fairly fast. Just keep in mind that you shouldn’t use it if you have heart disease, kidney problems, or a history of stomach ulcers or bleeding, so if any of that applies to you, please check with a pharmacist or doctor before taking it.
Patient: I understand. I’ll take that one, then.
Pharmacist: If your headache doesn’t improve, please see a doctor. Take care.
  
OTC Medicine Consultation 2
■ Scene Setting (Basic Information)
Location: Drugstore in a tourist area
Pharmacist: Sakura
Patient: Emily
Chief Complaint (Symptoms): Sore throat and runny nose
Duration of Symptoms: Since yesterday
Current Medications: None
Allergies: None
Patient Profile:
- Tourist from overseas, short-term stay
- Speaks little Japanese; communicates in English
- Has cold-like symptoms and wants to buy an OTC cold medicine
- First visit to this pharmacy
Overview of the Conversation: As this is the patient’s first visit, the pharmacist briefly checks her health condition, medication history, and allergies, then recommends a combination cold medicine “Nodohana Ease.”
■ Script
Pharmacist: Hello. How can I help you today?
Patient: Hello. I’m visiting Japan, and since yesterday I’ve had a sore throat and a runny nose. So, I’m looking for something over the counter.
Pharmacist: I’m sorry you’re feeling sick. I can help. Before I recommend anything, can I ask a few quick questions?
Patient: Sure.
Pharmacist: Do you have a fever, shortness of breath, chest pain, or trouble swallowing?
Patient: No, none of those.
Pharmacist: Any ongoing health conditions—like asthma, high blood pressure, diabetes—or are you pregnant?

Patient: No.
Pharmacist: Are you taking any prescription medications, vitamins, or other cold/flu products? And do you have any allergies to medicines?
Patient: No medications and no allergies.
Pharmacist: Great. For a sore throat and runny nose, I recommend “Nodohana Ease.”
It helps relieve symptoms such as sore throat, runny nose, and cough.
Patient: Thank you. How should I take it?
Pharmacist: Please take one packet three times a day after meals, with water.
If your symptoms do not improve after a few days, please see a doctor.
Patient: Are there any side effects?
Pharmacist: Some ingredients can cause drowsiness, dizziness, or dry mouth, so avoid driving if it makes you sleepy. If it upsets your stomach, take it with food.
Patient: Got it. Thank you.
Pharmacist: You’re welcome! If you have any questions while taking it, feel free to come back or call the pharmacy. Take care.
Patient: Thank you very much.

 
OTC Medicine Consultation 3
■ Scene Setting (Basic Information)
Location: Drugstore in Osaka
Pharmacist: Kurumi Aihara
Patient: John
Chief Complaint (Symptom): Stomach discomfort / heartburn
Duration of Symptoms: Since last night
Current Medications: None
Allergies: None
Patient Profile: Tourist from Canada
Overview of the Conversation: The pharmacist assesses the symptoms and patient background, then recommends “Isan Guard” and explains how to use it.
 ■ Script
Pharmacist: Hello. My name is Kurumi Aihara, and I’m a pharmacist here. How can I help you today?
Patient: Hi. I have stomach pain and heartburn. I’d like something over the counter.
Pharmacist: I’m sorry you’re feeling unwell. I can help. I’ll ask a few quick questions to make sure we pick the safest option. Where exactly is the discomfort, and when did it start?
Patient: It’s around the upper stomach area. It started last night, so about half a day ago.
Pharmacist: Thank you. How would you describe the pain?
Is it sharp and strong, or more of a heavy or burning feeling?
Patient: It feels heavy, and there’s also a slight burning sensation. It started after I ate a lot last night.

Pharmacist: That sounds consistent with acid reflux or indigestion. Just to be safe: have you had any vomiting, fever, trouble swallowing, chest pain, shortness of breath, or dark stools?
Patient: No.
Pharmacist: Great, have you taken anything for it today?
Patient: No, I haven’t taken anything yet.
Pharmacist: Do you have any medication allergies, or have you ever had a bad reaction to stomach medicines?
Patient: No.
Pharmacist: Do you take any prescription medicines regularly, like anti-inflammatories, blood thinners, or anything for diabetes or blood pressure?
Patient: No.
Pharmacist: Do you use any supplements or health products?
Patient: Oh, I take vitamins.
Pharmacist: Do you drink alcohol or smoke?
Patient: No.
Pharmacist: Thank you for the information. In that case, I recommend this medicine called “Isan Guard.”
It is a relatively new OTC medicine that blocks excess stomach acid and is especially effective for heartburn and pain in the upper stomach.
Patient: Is it a strong medicine? I’m a tourist from Canada, and maybe Japanese food didn’t agree with me.
Pharmacist: Yes. The active ingredient is lansoprazole, and it contains the same dose as prescription medicine.
It strongly reduces stomach acid and is widely used.
You take one tablet once a day, and it works for 24 hours.
It can be taken without water and dissolves quickly in your mouth, even when your stomach is uncomfortable.
Patient: I see.
Pharmacist: One important point. Because this medicine suppresses stomach acid, please do not take it together with other stomach medicines.
Do you have any concerns?
Patient: So I should take only one tablet and not use other stomach medicines.
You mentioned I can take it without water—does it have any taste?
Pharmacist: It has a strawberry flavor and is not very bitter, so most people find it easy to take.
Patient: That’s great. Thank you very much.
Pharmacist: You’re welcome! If you have questions, come back anytime.

OTC Medicine Consultation 4
■ Scene Setting (Basic Information)
Location: Community pharmacy
Pharmacist: Ben
Patient: Olivia
Chief Complaint (Symptom): Insomnia
Duration of Symptoms: About one week
Current Medications: None
Allergies: None
Patient Profile: Foreign resident in Japan, in her 20s
Overview of the Conversation: The patient has ongoing sleep problems and visits the pharmacy to choose an appropriate OTC sleep aid with the pharmacist’s guidance.
 ■ Script
Patient: Excuse me. Lately, my sleep has been very light. Is there any medicine you would recommend?
Pharmacist: I’m sorry you’re dealing with that. I can help. To make sure we choose the safest option for you, may I ask you a few questions? First, how long has this been going on?
Patient: It’s been about a week. I wake up many times during the night.
Pharmacist: Thanks. Are you having trouble falling asleep, staying asleep, or both?
Patient: Mostly staying asleep. I keep waking up.
Pharmacist: Has anything changed in your daily life lately, or have you been consuming more caffeine?
Patient: I’ve been very busy at work, and I often use my computer until just before going to bed.
Pharmacist: That makes sense. Bright screens and work stress right before bed can definitely affect sleep. A few safety questions: Do you take any regular medications or supplements? Any allergies?
Patient: No.
Pharmacist: Do you drink alcohol, smoke or vape especially in the evening?
Patient: No. By the way, do you have melatonin?
Pharmacist: I’m afraid melatonin is not available as an OTC medicine in Japan, but we do have sleep aids.
Patient: Oh, I see. I didn’t know that.
Pharmacist: I recommend this one called “Suyanest.” It helps improve temporary sleep problems, such as difficulty falling asleep or waking up during the night.
Please take two tablets before bedtime.
However, if this medicine doesn’t help, it's best to consult a doctor.
Patient: Got it. I’ll try this OTC medicine first. Is there anything I should be careful about?
Pharmacist: It may cause next-day drowsiness, so avoid driving, operating machinery, or engaging in risky activities until you see how you respond. Also, steer clear of alcohol, and do not combine it with other medications that make you sleepy.
Patient: Got it. Thank you very much.
