If an employee gets a minor injury at work, sees a doctor, and the doctor recommends over the counter pain meds would that be recordable?

I see the question has been answered, but here is a link from OSHA's recordkeeping page and goes through many different scenarios regarding the ins and outs of recordkeeping.

No, has to be a prescription. Anything you can just walk into a pharmacy and buy is fine.
