No, it makes it OTC up until a fixed dosage. Naproxen for example is basically Aleve, an OTC pain killer. However you can only get 500mg+ tablets of Naproxen through prescriptions because they're reserved for people with real pain problems.

... which makes it not otc, you literally just described exactly what I'm saying and are telling me it's the opposite.

But I can't buy 500mg tablets over the counter

Forget it, I'm just going to block and move on.

I think his whole point is that it's still over the counter like Aleve. Just at a lower dosage, but you're still getting it over the counter. Take 2 Aleves for the same 500mg effect.
