Question as per title - does anyone know if you can buy antibiotics over the country in Canada, without a prescription? Toronto, if that makes a difference. Many thanks.

Thanks @TwoBlueFish - that seems conclusive, I've been Googling for ages without finding anything definitive!

This doesn't really answer your question, but I know in the US, it is sometimes possible to get antibiotics 'behind the counter' from a pharmacist. BUT even if it were possible, you really need to see a doctor because unless you're a GP yourself, you're unlikely to know what it is you actually need to be prescribed/for how long/at what dosage. Could you look to book yourself into an urgent care centre?
