Answers:
Technically, no. If it's a medication that's sold over the counter (take ibuprofen [Advil] for example), and you need it prescription strength (1000mg+), then you just have to take five 200mg Advils to reach that amount. If it's something like Percocet or Demerol, or anything that you can't buy normally, then you need a prescription.
If the medicine is available in a non prescription strength then this can be purchased over the counter. If not you need the script.
