    Besides the topicals OTC that i outlined in here, US friends of mine “keep” their remaining prescription ABs for when they are sick again.

    Like he got prescribed some for a COLD and then kept them to pop when he gets the next COLD :'D

    Its nuts. Some OTC, others simply overprescribed.

    Here you get a prescription if you have a severe infection, OR a substantial injury with high risk.
