You speak to a pharmacist when you buy it?

Since it's OTC I only ever speak to the checkout cashier, who may not even
know what I'm buying as long as the barcode scans & they don't actually
have to look at the item.

That's one of the reasons I like to shop at small local pharmacies
when you will sometimes be served by the pharmacist. And if the shop
isn't busy you can have a chat about half lives, side effects,
etc.. Which can lead to the pharmacist going off to fetch the
reference manuals to show you. Some useful education along with your
purchase.

You won't get that in a drug supermarket! Support your local shops!
