Piriton off the market?

another question

Does anyone know why Piriton tabs (anti-allergy/hayever meds) have been taken off the market?

Has it got to do with the fact that alot of people were using them as anti - anxiety medication?

Was in 3 different chemists looking for them and they said they can't get them but not sure why....:eek:

Seemingly it's not to be sneezed at.
