    Could be different strength or a completely different drug. Tylenol for example, over the counter I believe it is acetaminophen but Tylenol 3s are codeine. So it might be a stronger version or a completely different drug.

    Just the dosage.
    If you don't have insurance that covers prescriptions, just buy OTC.
