Only those people who can afford prescription medicines are allowed to buy.
The medicines are only available to a patient who needs treatment for a long-term
condition
Medicines are covered with licenses that don't allow the products to be sold to
certain groups of patients.
This is not available in pharmacy.
It is out of stock.
Because the doctor told us not to do so.
If you force to buy medicine that is not prescribed by your doctor it will risk your
health.
The person prescribing thinks that a patient cannot treat himself, for example
because of mental health problems
It is only available in a short period of time.
Just buy any medicine that relieves your pain, don't mind the doctor's prescription.
