Even though ibuprofen is considered a basic medicine, it's still a medicine. Ibuprofen is not totally risk free and therefore needs to be sold by "professionals". Either way, Americans tend to overuse this drug as a pain killer for every little bit of ache they may have, which is dangerous. The first time I took ibuprofen was when I broke my arm with 12-13 for the first day. The next time was with 24 after I got a root canal removed.

There are plenty of things that are medicine like, plenty of things that aren't risk free. Peanut butter isn't risk free if you're allergic to nuts. Honey isn't risk free for young children. Alcohol isn't risk free.

This is absurd on its face. Even when I buy ibuprofen here, they still just sell it to me the normal way. They're not quizzing me about how much I'm taking or whatever. It's less convenient and more expensive for zero benefit.
