Over the counter

Back when I had food poisoning Ann was able to buy Cipro for me over the counter (and at a price much lower than the US). Tonight I learned that I can buy Lipitor (for my ridiculously high cholesterol) over the counter. I forgot to ask the price.

To get to sleep I cannot, however, buy Ambien or it's generic. "That's a controlled substance, sir," said my polite Egyptian pharmacist.

Ambien CR (the one that helps you stay asleep) is listed as a narcotic on the same level as heroin or cocaine. I've never tried either of those but I do miss Ambien CR.
