Nothing. The difference is only a legal one- most drugs that wind up OTC started as prescription drugs, and the manufacturer applied for them to be permitted to be legally sold without a prescription. Presumably this involves generating additional safety data showing it’s somewhat unlikely the customers will kill themselves by misusing the stuff.
