In this episode, we're going to learn how to buy over-the-counter medicine at a drugstore.

We'll begin by listening to a conversation between a pharmacist and a customer.

 

Good afternoon. Can I help you with anything?

> Hi. I'm looking for something to take for my cold.

I can help you with that. What are your symptoms?

> I'm super congested. I have a headache and a sore throat and a slight fever.

You must have that nasty bug that's going around. I recommend you take this pill. It's very effective.

> It won't make me feel tired, will it? I need to be awake during the day to keep an eye on my kids.

No, it shouldn't. It's non-drowsy. 

> Thanks very much for your help.

You're welcome. Feel better soon.
