Thanks for the heads up.... I rushed out to water my hydrangea last night! Good thing too, they were looking desperate.

"From June 2027 any vitamin B6 product containing more than 50mg in each recommended daily dose will be moved behind the pharmacy counter."

More work for under resourced and under paid community pharmacists, by a regulator not keen on doing their job?
