Thank you Ed, I thought I read somewhere that it was P*M in the UK but I've just looked in the BNF and it doesn't seem to be restricted - I hadn't noticed that before. I've never heard of anyone using it here either. I might just tell them it's for hayfever and that other remedies haven't worked that well, and also that it might help me sleep at night. I'd worry they'll just try to palm me off with Piriton or something else they have in the shop if I say it's for a rash.
I don't think I'll bother bringing it up with pdoc if I can get it on my own. As you know, time is limited and I don't want him to get distracted. What was it like?
