I still get pissed off every time I see homeopathic products (i.e. water sold as "medicine") in the pharmacy, like that "Head on" stuff. It's worse for some things like allergy eye drops where the homeopathic part may be written in tiny print on the package.

If I just wanted to flush my eyes out with water, I'd do that at home for a fraction of the cost. When my allergies act up, I need eye drops with actual medicine in them. And that's when I'm the least able to see well enough to avoid bottles with tiny print.

But Wal-Mart still stocks that crap in their pharmacy. Ugh. Shouldn't they limit it to medicine?
