When I'm asked for something for indigestion and after further questioning (anamnesis, diagnosis?) I recommend to the patient the purchase of a particular remedy, is that not prescribing?

I agree with you Zo. What concerns me about extra prescribing is what will happen when someone makes a mistake? I don't believe that not a single nurse has not made an error in prescribing, but I've never read about any. Would the same happen to us? Go figure...........
