Yes he could have. Given it to her mother. The pharmacists have been terrified HERE, Ireland, by the regulatory authority. I know, my brother in law, a pharmacist, has his every move watched, by the Irish Medical Organisation, IMO. They're terrified of giving drugs which require prescriptions to people without them. It's all very controlled. Pharmacy in Ireland is very controlled, and expensive, btw.
