> gee I don't even get Dr Bob's restriction. How are people supposed to know what is prescription only or OTC in the States anyway? I have a vague idea from talking to a few hundred US residents, but every country has different meds that are otc or script..and one country I lived in for a while this year doesn't even have scripts as far as I know. OK, sorry for the outburst..I don't really get it myself. I do know that I've gotten a warning for an offhanded remark that mentioned the sister site of the one in question here (that sister site is in the U.S. and it doesn't sell anything that could be considered illegal on this board). I have seen others get that warning and they've been quite confused about it.
My guess is that Dr. Bob's thinking is that providing a link to the article will bring people to that site where they can wander around and discover medications that don't require prescriptions. It's not like it's some back alley rip off kind of a site though. It's mostly supplements with a couple of things that could actually be considered medications. It's a very health conscious site. I don't really agree with him on this one - but then I'm not the one who needs to ensure funding for this site.
I don't know how we're all supposed to know the sites that are safe to mention on this board. I guess that's why we get a warning first.
