Acyclovir family meds need to be available over the counter or through a pharmacist. There's actually papers showing that they can be safely taken OTC, and rebuttles basically just saying that "it would set a precedent and increase demand for more meds to be available OTC." To me it's a poster child for the dangers of medication overregulation.
