Here in Norway it’s actually much easier to get that sort of thing prescribed than to get more than 24 Aspirin.
The workaround is that you can get aspirin for three months (and you are the sole judge of how much that is) sent to you as a gift.
Ah, bureaucracies. G-d love ‘em, because nobody else does.
Interesting. I can remember being at a pharmacy in the UK one time and the aspirin and other common drugs were sold from behind the counter. Upon purchase, the “chemist” (pharmacist) had to deliver a canned lecture on their “dangers.”
Just what is it in Norway that makes the government think you can’t handle your aspirin?
