I haven't looked lately but around here self-medication was done by a trip 
to the local ranch store. That was well before horse dewormer gained 
popularity. Fish medicine (amoxicillin) was popular. 

You could also get a gallon of Absorbine, a popular liniment, about as 
cheaply as a little bottle of Absorbine Jr. from the drugstore. I had a 
stiff leg when I was working with a horse so we both got rubbed down from 
the same jug. The horse is probably dead by now but I'm still going.

Not prescription items but several other products made it out of the 
livestock section. You might guess Mane 'n' Tail shampoo didn't start as a 
feminine beauty product nor was bag balm intended for human dry skin.
