George,
If PC4 becomes available without a prescription
the makers will withdraw it from sale. They have done
so in at least one country.
What is being proposed is that pharmacists be allowed to
"prescribe" PC4. Thus keeping the makers happy, increasing
the availability, and getting the pharmacy foot in the door of
NHS prescribing.
If this is a good idea or not I don't know.
