Just my two cents from the Atlanta Georgia area - not hard to get from the mom and pop shops here at all if you know the drill. You can sign for 4 oz every 72 hours - I always ask for novahistine DH or novahistine expectorant. The DH is okay - the expextorant is rank. I have two or three or four places that will always sell it to me - but I'm pretty non threatening - total subrban housewife, mini-van driving 30 something blonde. Have a nice little story about I have this bad non productive cough and a friend told me I might be able to get something a little stronger OTC, etc...I've had more places say yes than no. Mom and pops are the way to go - especially if they are run by people who weren't perhaps born in the USA. Let's face it - the non-codeine stuff has nothing in in that would help with a cough - at least for me! Take care!
