Government regulations on DMSO in Canada

<< < (2/2)

--- Quote ---So, this says that when DMSO is sold for certain specific uses, it requires a prescription, but allows for exemptions for the use or sale of it for other purposes without a prescription, provided it come from "natural sources" - an intentionally vague term.  I don't understand the language enough, but this might be done so Health Canada ensures it regulates all usages, be it prescriptive and off-label, so that, in the future, they can easily revoke an exemption for a specific use.

It does not seem fair even in light of using a prescription but what other choice does one have when governments deem something (even naturally occuring) to be regulated. I'll be okay with the fact that one seller I'm aware of does not require the use of a prescription and is not inclined on changing that policy anytime soon.

Dimethyl sulfoxide, for veterinary use or when sold for the treatment of interstitial cystitis or scleroderma in humans is not satisfactory when it comes to a compound that is intended for use as an antioxidant. I mean why make it difficult for someone to get it for a perfectly good reason such as pain or inflammation and not have it regulated by physical investigation, even if only once every month. But, that's probably not realistic since it's a lot of work to do it that way. Just very frustrating that I have to go so far to get it (at least until I move back home to where it's sold more freely).
