Is Topiglan available on the market Yet? Will it require a doctor's rx? If it isn't on the market yet, when will it become available?

Where can topiglan cream be bought? ## Hello, Norm! How are you? I'm sorry, but according to the manufacturer's website, it has not been approved by the FDA, so it is not available, yet.
