"Uncontrolled drugs/medications" is another option. Uncontrolled drugs are drugs that are dispensed in the normal way. Controlled drugs (narcotic drugs) are subject to certain controls. "Unregulated" drugs are imported or sold without label.

unscheduled drugs/substances

scheduled drugs are those drugs that you can only be obtained with a prescription and as such 'out of reach'. I believe that the text is referring to this kind of drugs.

Good luck
Peer comment(s):

neutral Yasser El Helw : I cannot agree with you this time. Uncontrolled or unregulated drugs can be prescription or non-prescription (over-the-counter) drugs.

Thanks for the correction. I always thought that you can only get them with a prescription. May in some countries?

either: Off-patent drug or: over-the counter drug (depending on more context)

Off-patent drug: a drug no longer protected by the patent from copies by manufacturers other than the innovator. In this case, per your sentence, they will use the scientific generic name, rather than the commercial/trade name.

I would think this first answer is the correct one.
Over-the counter drug: as mentioned before by another responder: a drug no longer requiring a prescription.

In the USA, all drugs are regulated by the FDA.
