I was stating the case in Australia. Several medicinal preparations which are available "over the counter" on the USA are not as available in Australia; Wikipedia does not have defined ethical standards or codes of information veracity. In other words, just because it is in Wikipedia, doesn't necessarily make it so.. The entry in Wikipedia for the commercial product has connections to external links that refer to the product being "pharmacy only", and giving warnings for its use, including "Take this medicine as directed by your doctor or pharmacist.". They also include information on side-effects, interaction with other drugs, proscription against taking, etc. Anyone taking this preparation (or for that matter any medication) without first consulting a doctor runs the risk of succumbing to one or more of the side-effects.
