Seems to depend on the variety

Google "adcortyl P" and "adcortyl POM" (p= pharmacy POM = prescription only medicine)
Normal Adcortyl in Orobase is available without prescription, and certainly if you pay for prescriptions it's much cheaper to get it OTC.

A few weeks ago, I had some prescribed for me by the dentist, I went across the road to the chemist to get some, and he said there would be a 40 minute wait whilst they cleared their backlog, even though I could see it on the shelf behind him and it literally would have taken a second to just hand it over hehe.
