Seems that a lot of meds could be sold over the counter. Are Mexicans and Indians just smarter than Americans
I think a major factor in this is the combination you get when a large segment of the population a) has no common sense and b) are sue happy.
I think much of it is companies trying to prevent getting sued when idiots take medications the wrong way. If Tylenol and aspirin hadn't been invented before all these laws were written they would absolutely be by prescription only. There are thousands of idiots each year that destroy their livers by popping Tylenol tablets like they're tic tacs.
It's the same reason we have warning labels on curling irons and hair dryers to not use them while sleeping.
