In France, where it was originally produced, it is now watered down. Only in Russia can the full strength mix be found.<br /><br />I consider it my right to decide to have that medicine or not, not the nanyy state's. To suggest that the pharmacists are cowboys over there and can't advise customers is to misunderstand the system.<br /><br />There oare proscribed drugs over there which one can't get but most of them one can, subject to the pharmacist's warnings.<br /><br />I'd like to know, in the past 12 years, where this nanny idea came from.James Highamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14525082702330365464noreply@blogger.com
