For which type of OTC administration is tamper resistance typically not required?

Tamper resistance is typically not required for hospital-administered medications because these medications are administered under controlled conditions by healthcare professionals. In a hospital setting, medications are usually prepared and managed by trained staff who ensure the integrity and safety of the products before they are administered to patients. This professional oversight reduces the risk of tampering compared to over-the-counter products sold in environments where consumers have direct access to them, such as vending machines, in-home pharmacy programs, or products sold online.

On the other hand, other options involve environments where there is greater risk of tampering. For instance, products sold in vending machines are accessible to the public and can be easily compromised. Similarly, in-home pharmacy programs might provide medications directly to patients, increasing the potential for tampering outside of a healthcare facility. Products sold online face challenges in ensuring their integrity during shipping and storage. Therefore, tamper resistance measures are more essential in those contexts to protect consumer safety.
