I didn't actually know this, and it's good to know. That said, I'm not certain that most people are aware that it is available without a script. Maybe I'm wrong.
- tptacek 3y agoIf you walk up to the pharmacy counter at any Walgreens or CVS, literally the first thing you're going to see is a shelf of decongestants.
- clipsy 3y agoI can’t speak for your Walgreens or CVS, but at mine you’ll see a shelf full of phenylephrine-based decongestants only, because the pseudoephedrine-based ones are behind the counter and out of sight.
- idlewords 3y agoLots of pharmacies display cards in the regular decongestant section that you can take up to the counter to get the ID-required OTC pills. It adds an annoying step, but they are hardly out of sight.
- schrodinger 3y agoNot trying to be condescending, but are you sure you're referring to "behind the pharmacy counter (i.e. where the pharmacist stands)" rather than on the regular shelves? That's where it's prominent—although as someone else noted there are often "see the pharmacist for the real stuff" cards on regular shelves too.
- clipsy 3y agoYes.
