pharmacists and chemists tend to be wary of selling them to people, as they are more designed for diabetics to monitor levels. Since the Aktins became ever more popular in this country about 10 years ago, many refuse to sell them to people whom do not collect certain medications on prescriptions from them. It is more as a fail safe, as they can not be seen to condone people placing themselves into ketosis willingly for a diet.
I believe hehehe or was when I was doing my dispenser course.
