Should Dovonex be available without prescription

[Fred]

I can see why they would rather not prescribe it, as they are trying to stop a whole raft of things that are currently available on prescription, as it's costing the health service here dearly ...I suppose it's no more dangerous than buying Paractemol ( which is dangerous) ....I do think that it should be a behind the counter drug that has to be asked for,  so the pharmacist can advise on dosing and things to avoid

I wonder what the cost would be if they did stop prescribing? And if that would adversely affect poorer people who couldn't afford an extra cost

I don't know about the UK but here in France it would cost €36 for a 120g tube to buy without prescription.

The problem I see is like you said will they get good advise on it's use, or will the pharmacie just say thank you for your cash.

Also is it going to stop people getting a proper diagnoses.
