What I want to know is why on earth do you need a Rx for silver sulfadiazene?

Oh, and where do I get some of those Barbie bandaids?

Excellent questions. Perhaps Silvadene is prescription only for the same reason that Bactroban is-limited scope of effectiveness restricts its safe use to the highly trained and intelligent physician. Barbie Bandaids are usually next to the Hulk bandaids, below the Disney character bandaids, and above the Roadrunner-coyote bandaids. Accept no substitutes.
