Summary: Abstract: The Philippines is a third-word country affected by the pandemic, resulting to a heightened amount of purchased OTC medications. Using the sample population of residents from Fairview, Quezon City, the following factors: awareness, knowledge, willingness to purchase OTC drugs were correlated against the demographics of the respondents. Hence, a descriptive correlational study was conducted among 382 respondents. Their responses were collated through Google Forms distributed across different social media platforms and the data were statistically treated using frequency distribution, percentage, and two-way analysis of variance (ANOVA). The following conclusions were drawn: (1) the demographic profile, notably monthly family income, could be used to indicate their awareness and willingness in buying medicine; (2) the main source of information which Filipinos use was from their neighbors, friends and healthcare professionals through social media; (3) Filipinos' knowledge regarding OTC medication was determined to be lacking; (4) Filipinos had a preference towards branded medicines over generic alternatives; (5) awareness in branded and generic drugs were found to increase alongside: age, educational attainment, monthly income and access to sources of information; (6) there was no notable correlation between demographic of respondents and their knowledge for OTC medication; and (7) monthly income was found to affect Filipinos' willingness when buying OTC medication.
