tst123New S.C. law lets students bring sunscreen to school without a doctor’s note
Carighan MaconarThat read like NotTheOnion at first.
Why was this ever a thing? I mean, is “It’s because the FDA regulates sunscreen as an over-the-counter drug.” actually still relevant? You can’t just buy sunscreen in a supermarket in the US? Or is this only in regards to children?
chuckleslordYou can buy it in a supermarket, because it’s sold “over-the-counter”, meaning you don’t need a prescription to get it. The FDA regulates it because it has a medical purpose. This law was just brain dead.
Aaaaah, okay, sorry, totally mis-understood what that means, I thought it means freely available but has to be bought in a pharmacy. Thanks. :)
