- scott_w 2y agoNo because bleach is a cleaning product and it works. But I don’t want a pharmacy advertising sugar pills as being able to cure anything outside of your sweet tooth. Obviously this is an extreme example (I’m sure even the USA doesn’t allow sugar pills to be sold as actual medicine) but I’m taking from this thread that there are ineffective medicines being sold but potentially useful medicines being blocked. Maybe I’m wrong, I don’t live in the US.
