Yeah, I don't quite get the outrage at this particular useless thing being on store shelves, among so many other useless things. The outrage should be that any

  The problem is that the names are very similar and most consumers are confused about which is which. Most consumers don't know to go to the pharmacy and ask, because there's something claiming to be effective on the shelf.

  Basically, it's snake oil. These companies are taking people's money by selling drugs that do not work using false promises. The FDA is was established to combat this sort of scam, but somehow FDA seems to have allowed these companies to legally market this useless crap without actually confirming effectiveness. Sure, there were reasons to make it more difficult to obtain a certain type of drug. Fine. There are obviously economic effects of these regulations on the manufacturers. Somehow these companies found a loophole to fill the gap by making it easy to buy useless bullshit. This is massive egg on the FDA's face and I'm really curious how this happened and what's going to be done to prevent it happening again.
