Why is it that in the USA almost all medicines are issued only by prescription, and almost everything can be bought freely from us?
The expert’s answer is 0 + –
“In the USA and most countries of the EU, it is really almost impossible to buy prescription drugs in a pharmacy without presenting a prescription (there are also over-the-counter ones there, they are sold freely),” replied Elena Volskaya is the Chairman of the Independent Interdisciplinary Committee for the Ethical Examination of Clinical Trials. In our country, the rules are not observed so clearly, despite the fact that the relevant norms are prescribed in the legislation. Why is this happening? For example, because of problems with getting a prescription. In fact, a patient with a chronic disease should visit a doctor every month just for the sake of a prescription for regularly taken medications. But for the sake of justice, I must say that we, like the West, very strictly observe the rules for the release of strong, narcotic and psychotropic drugs. They will not be sold to you without a prescription.
