Uh, no.

A federal regulation does not trump a federal law. The law requiring things
to be dispensed only on the order of a physician is a federal law. Now, it
is possible that the law that authorizes the FAA also creates an exemption
to the Food & Drug Act (or whatever it's called), but the FAA itself cannot
override a law.
