This is a reality in my country, we can buy such drugs from a drug shop, a community clinic and pharmacy as well. Its just like buying pain killers. My nieces who have worked in a hospital at the front desk know about all these very strong antibiotics, pain killers anti allergies and always have them in the house. This extends to anti malaria drugs and the only time I was asked for a prescription is when I was buying anti depressants. There was no need for identification though and I could send anyone to buy it form if I was busy as long as that person carried my precription.
