Yes, the chemists aren't supposed to sell it without a prescription now because fatties were buying it all and there was none left for people with type 2 diabetes- this happened to me about 4 times in 2023 so, I had to ring around chemists and ended up going to Jerilderie twice and Cobram twice, to fill my prescription.
Thing is that it has a use-by date so, hmm, maybe the chemists will sell it without a script when it gets closer to the use-by date?
