Ted, it's not just narcotics that have to be regulated. It's pretty much all drugs that the medical community feels should be put under some sort of control, the drugs they feel would harm society more if anyone were allowed to buy it without a doctor's prescription. For example, you can't get Viagra without a prescription, but why is that necessary? Well, would the average layperson realize that taking Viagra together with any nitrate (a typical component of heart medications) is fatal? I sure didn't until my wife pointed it out one time while watching a movie. There are literally thousands of other complications that need to be closely monitored when prescribing medication. There's no way you can fit all of that onto a label or a paper insert that comes out of an OTC medication, no matter how small you make the type. (And since the extremely small type is unreadable anyway, what's the point?) Tenchusatsu
