What is the cost of an over-the-counter drug?

In the result it is only the future cost of over-the-counter drugs that could possibly result in an award of damages for the cost of future care. And as to even that the evidence is lacking as to the cost. However, common human experience encompasses some experience with the costs of over-the-counter drugs aimed at relieving pain and discomfort. As to all but over-the-counter drugs this is not a case in which there is a foundation in the evidence for an award of a sum of money which may reasonably be expected to be expended by the plaintiff in an attempt to put himself, as best as possible, in the position he would have been in absent the defendant’s negligence (Andrews v. Grand & Toy Alberta Ltd. (1978), 1978 CanLII 1 (SCC), 83 D.L.R. (3d) 452 at 462 (S.C.C.)).
