More evidence the USA is a nonstop scam: I got a virus of some kind in all this traveling, and combined with the wildfire smoke, my throat is very sore.

This spray was suggested by the pharmacist in my neighborhood in Madrid, Spain, over the counter without a prescription. Three sprays and the pain was gone and the inflammation lowered. It is a direct spray NSAID. You can't get this medication as a spray in the United States. Not even with a prescription. To make it available would threaten too many existing but inferior meds. So the government doesn't allow it.

You are being denied better medication so big pharma will not lose profits. That's not a free market. It's a fake market that prefers you to needlessly suffer if it makes more money for billionaires.
