In the USA you can use any 15 minute prescription website nowadays.

I just asked my GP during a regular physical and they wrote me a script for whatever dose I wanted.

Since it’s dirt cheap, not a controlled substance, and safe without any drug interactions I think my doc didn’t really care. And I think 90 days of 2grams a day was like $3 without insurance. I remember thinking how it’s cheaper than aspirin or Tylenol.

If you're uninsured or don't want to go through your insurance for whatever reasons, Costco has $29 consults with a nurse practitioner or physician assistant. Have them send the Rx to your local Walmart and you can get 90 days worth for under $10.

Will they actually provide a script for preventative use / gum disease?

I can't say with certainly, but a family member says they were able to get a Levothyroxine Rx without a TSH test.

Psychiatrist. They love experimenting.

YMMV. Sometimes you have to shop around.
