Some things are better in EU like being able to get metamizole (nothing else worked to stop the horrible intestinal spasms for days when I eat something Im intolerant to, which is 90% of all food).
Some are better in the US, like benedryl being OTC, fuck me for wanting a gen 1 antihistamine for ocassional insomnia.
There was an easy way to get prescription medication until around 2021 in Europe. It was sent from within so no customs. Shame the crackdown removed access to so much medical freedom. Honestly everything should be OTC, not like you cannot get it, it is just inconvenient and expensive.
