UK new labelling for topical steroid

[Fred]

Sounds like to me they hand this stuff out like it’s candy.

They don't in France, I do get a one year prescription for diprosone with the words "as I want it" but that's because my dermatologist knows I only use a small amount and wouldn't be stupid with it.

But when I lived in the UK I just phoned the doctors secretary and they gave me a new prescription whenever I asked for one, I think it was around 4 years before I had to see a doctor about something else when he told me not to use so much.
