Iodine Availability

[tourdeforce]

Hello Folks,

I have just recently been trying to buy a bottle of iodine from various high street pharmacies. This has proved impossible and I cannot even get a prescription for it. I have been told that it is law that it cannot be purchased in its neat form.

However ....
I could simply go onto ebay and buy from the many sellers selling it on there. The reason I am reluctant to do that is although most seem to be claim it is one brand (Lugol's), they all seem to have non professional home produced labels on the bottles.

I am confused. Is it illegal to sell?
What are they selling on ebay and why are they allowed to sell it if it is supposed to be illegal?

Any help would be appreciated.


Looking forward to your answer in anticipation.
Best regards,
Mr DeForce

Notice that the name of the person selling it is also on the non professional label on the bottle?
