On VS By [Antibiotics are only available on prescription]

Hi

Would you say that it's AmE VS BrE? If yes, how would a native speaker of BrE find the second sentence? Odd? OK?

Antibiotics are only available on prescription. (BrE)
Antibiotics are only available by prescription. (AmE)


Thanks,


Tom

Right. I don't hear this one in the US.
Maybe Clive can comment on Canada.
