Currently, all three drugs are available in Canada Cana-da over the counter and are much cheaper. Blue Cross argues that, because they are non-sedating, these drugs are actually safer than over-the-counter alternatives, alterna-tives, and that forcing patients to schedule an office visit to obtain a prescription imposes unfair time and financial burdens on them.
