I'm torn on this one. On the one hand, it would be really, really nice to be able to get what I need without jumping through hoops. On the other hand, people do some awfully stupid things with medications, OTC or otherwise. One of the meds I recently stopped taking requires regular blood tests, and having a doctor be required in order to get it is one sure way to make sure that the people on it follow up and get those tests. I also know people who assume that, because something is OTC, there are no side effects or precautions to take.
