a prescription medication
"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.

Another way would be to use the term OTC over-the-counter medication.

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