It’s called Paracetamol in the UK. We can only buy small packs of it (16 tablets or so) to try and prevent things like this. It’s very very rare to see Paracetamol issues in the UK news. A great man, a crying shame.

Yes, that is one of the things I was amazed with when I moved from Australia to the USA. You can buy Acetaminophen over here in America in jumbo size 500 or even 1000 tablet containers over the counter - that's a lot of a pretty powerful drug.

  10 tablets OTC is exactly same as 1000 tablets OTC.

    Not really, you are not going to be able to walk out of a pharmacy with 100 boxes of paracetamol filling half a shopping trolley in the UK.

      Not to mention pressing 100 pills out of their strips is a lot more work than taking a fistful out of a jar.

        Why would you ever take a fistful of tylenol out of a jar?
        Doxin 6y ago
        Because you're getting yourself killed on tylenol. Who knows why people do that but it happens and putting it in strips adds another barrier to it.

Most shops limit you to two packs at a time as well.
