7 mins confidence: 
a prescription medication Explanation: "but not available as a prescription medication" I would do it this way. To say but not "part of a doctor's ammunition" would sound very strange in English, and the long search for a similar metaphor could prove fruitless. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prescription_medication Another way would be to use the term OTC over-the-counter medication. |

medical armamentarium Explanation: Here's the defifinition from: http://medical-dictionary.thefreedictionary.com/armamentariu... "the total therapeutic assets of a physician or medical facility, including medicines and equipment". Here's an example of the occourence of this expression: "Even knowing these facts [about palliative options], some patients are likely to choose to take advantage of anything and everything in the medical armamentarium that could conceivably grant them extra days, weeks or months of life". |

medical paraphernalia Explanation: Paraphernalia = the articles used in a particular activity Ho usato "paraphernalia" per cercare di mantenere la connotazione lievemente umorisitica insista nel termine "armamentario" |
