Not like every now and then... but consistently. Quite a few older people... older 40yrs, take over the counter for continual pain, sleep.
Some take prescirbed.
Thankfully so far, I take none, I just accept the pains and issues so far and have been successful resolving or managing them without meds.
One one I really take is sugar... in tea and other forms like chocolate.
I consider any drug a medication... alcohol, coffee...
