Should Dovonex be available without prescription

[jiml]

No. A reckless decision. This drug does enough harm through misuse as it is.

<Before taking this medicine

You should not use Dovonex if you are allergic to calcipotriene, or if you have:

   high levels of calcium in your blood (hypercalcemia); or

   high levels of vitamin D in your body (usually caused by taking too much vitamin D supplements).

To make sure Dovonex is safe for you, tell your doctor if you are receiving phototherapy (light treatments) for your psoriasis.

It is not known whether this medicine will harm an unborn baby. Tell your doctor if you are pregnant or plan to become pregnant.>

Got to agree with that Bill looking at those instructions ...there's no way it should be dished out over the counter ...

Although GP's here have prescribed it for years on end without reviewing the prescription
