You’re right, pain medication like Aspirin and Ibuprofen don’t require a prescription but can only be sold in pharmacies or licensed online stores. Where I live, one does need a prescription for Ibu’s above 400mg though.
Painkillers are sold in supermarkets, what are you on about?
In my country medication isn’t sold like groceries because we don’t use them as if they were groceries.
