- tpm 10y agoExactly. Thankfully nobody is claiming that paracetamol is not killing people - quite clearly, it is. As is MDMA, even if it's quite safe (and fun) to use in most cases.

- DanBC 10y agoDo you have a cite for that? Most combination meds try to get synergistic benefits - the combination allows you to use lower doses of both active ingredients. (This probably doesn't work, but that was the intent when the meds were created.)
