While I agree the “B” should be readily available, the Secretary’s comment on understanding the warnings with this drug were accurate. Of course very few 40 year-olds can understand the drug labels on OTC products. Just look how many poison themselves every year on Tylenol!
The “trick” as pointed out by the Secretary is, how to HELP those 11-18 year olds who’ve been placed in need. “Health care professional” could include just pharmacists, who understand drug interactions and actions, far better than most M.D.s. The problem is “privacy” and complicated “parent” issues, like those who rape their daughters or stepdaughters, for example?
