Medications have become necessary for our well-being. Although medicine can benefit us, they can harm us and do serious damage to our health and well-being when they are used improperly. Have you ever noticed that some of your medications have a red line or stripe on the packaging? You might be wondering what does the red line on medications mean. 

A red line along the packaging indicates that the medication can only be given as. Prescription from a physician. Sometimes medications contain a letter next to the Rx symbol which indications what class the drug belongs to, such as G, H, H1, or X. These classes denote what category the medication falls under. 

This red line is aimed to discourage unnecessary prescription and over-the-counter sale of certain drugs and antibiotics that cause resistance from over use.
