> Whenever I go to the US, I have a shopping list to restock our medicine cabinet

Ha, that's funny, I do something kind of like that when I go to the UK. Though it's just one medicine -- Kwells. Easily available OTC there, not available at all here in the US except as a prescription-only transdermal patch.

Aha! I have heard Americans say they buy Buscopan for IBS when in the Uk as it’s not available at all in the US and it has the same active ingredient! I had no idea it was good for nausea too.

What's the deal with Dramamine? It's pushed everywhere but it has zero effect on me, I even tried 4 pills at once, nothing at all
