My doctor prescribed that I take 2000 mg Vitamin D3 per day and 1000 mg Calcium.
I buy these items at the druggists, but I don't need a prescription. Anyone can buy vitamins. It is not prescription medicine.

I also have to buy one prescription medicine. The druggist will not sell it to me unless I have a prescription from my doctor.
