Prescription antihistamine and doctor

Hi all, AIBU in thinking that the doctor is just trying to save money but in doing so, causing me an issue??

Story is that son's antihistamine bottle has a label with name and dose on it, but it is unreadable. This is the bottle that he has in school in case he accidentally comes into contact with the allergen. The school require the name and dose on the bottle, so off I pop to docs.

The receptionist sends through a message to ask for a repeat prescription for my son to have in school, saying the label is unreadable and school require label to administer.

Call back this afternoon to be told that the doc replied with they no longer do antihistamines on prescription and I can buy it over the counter.

Now I have brought it before, so not adverse to paying... but the school will not give any non labelled meds.

So the reception has again sent a message to doc saying the reason again... I have to call in a few to see what is said this time...

Am I being unreasonable in expecting for an allergy, this is unreasonable of the doctor??

Sirzy - I don't mean all meds over counter, but meds that are to do with instant reactive allergies (ige) that my son has. This is the same reaction as what can lead to anaphylactic shock... believe me, this allergy thing took me a while to get my head around Confused
