Bizzy_Lizzy Posted November 12, 2013 Share Posted November 12, 2013 After working in pharmacy for 5 years i have always been told over the counter means anything you can get without the need for a prescription! GSL= general sales list this includes paracetamol, ibuprofen etc in the lower strengths and small pack sizes and can be bought without pharmacist permission P= Pharmacist! A sale can only be granted with a pharmacist permission POM= Prescription only medicine At the end of every month we are asked by head office for our OTC sales figures this includes GSL and P meds so i'd say it's anything that can be bought over the counter without the need of a prescription!

Alcoblog Posted November 13, 2013 Share Posted November 13, 2013 On a recent field trip to a chemist in Parsonia, I noticed that medicinal prescriptions were only available THROUGH the counter ... inasmuch as the counter was bedecked with a plate glass screen to ceiling height, with a narrow slot for the transference of medical sweeties between pharmacist and hoodie. Haven't the foggiest idea why. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
