I think sometimes doctors ask this as it can be cheaper to buy some of the medicine rather that pay the prescription charge. This used to happen with my hayfever medication. It was much cheaper to buy off the shelf. Obviously if you aren't working then the prescription is paid so that's always the c...

With recent posts on this forum I'm starting to think some people are on here just to cause trouble and insult people. It's a real shame, I belonged to another forum that went the same way and it ended up having to close.

I agree it's done a lot of harm to the idea that zoos are now ethical and all about conservation.

Even PDSA and Blue cro...
