The basic point I’m trying to make is that the system isn’t quite as broken as I feel like you’re portraying it here.
Do you know why Nizoral is prescription-only in the US? The clarification you made is useful, but it sounds like you’re treating “Nizoral is prescription-only” as indicative of a less broken system than just “Nizoral happens to not be available in the US,” where I have the opposite intuition. Is Nizoral really dangerous?
If you want to treat the illness dosing the stuff higher is likely helping you. Having it at 5% is likely even more successful than having it at 2%. On the other hand, it also increases side-effects. If it wouldn’t The stuff isn’t good for the liver, so there a reason to discourage people from overdosing it.
Somewhere there’s likely a Nizoral dose that is actually dangerous. The general philosophy that there should be a dose that has to be expert approved isn’t that bad. I would prefer a more open system but it’s intellectually defensible.
That’s...not a real state of the world. If something that common weren’t somehow explicitly regulated I’m sure it would be available OTC. As a consequence, given not available my prediction options are between “so regulated that it’s literally just not a thing in the US” and “regulated enough that you can’t just buy it off Amazon, but still available by doctor”.
As for danger, from what I read Nizoral is not going to be a good time for your liver if you ate it somehow.
