> Prescription drugs need a prescription because they have potentially dangerous side effects Or, more likely, someone just decided they should be prescription only. Why are melatonin, gabapentin, piracetam prescription only? Paracetamol will kill you in the right dosage, yet it's OTC. Hell, you can overdose on vitamins and minerals/metals, too. It's like a game for the industry, at the expense of a minority who have to suffer from only having access to bad doctors.
