Why do I need a prescription for items when purchasing via web or mail but not when I visit the pharmacy? This group of medication can normally be purchased over the counter, but NSW regulations state that a pharmacist must personally hand the product to the customer. Therefore by law, it is required that a doctor explains the medication and so providing a prescription for these items indicates that you have had appropriate counseling. Therefore ordering online, by phone or by mail eliminates this interaction with a pharmacist and for this reason Pharmacy Direct requires a prescription to supply these products to you by mail.
