Yes you could buy it with a prescription - although at the cost of $20,00 for 48 weeks who'd want to unless you HAD to?  I dont ever want to have to buy it again even with insurance that is for sure. Evil stuff LOL.

You mean like on the streets?  Oh hell no, but I suppose there's a black market for everything if you know where to look.  If I'm going to hit the streets for drugs it's not going to be interferon I'm looking for. :)
