It's not a surprise if you look at the Ibuprofen packaging used in US supermarkets... There's a picture in the article of such a supermarket aisle. You can buy a 750- or even 1000-pack for a few dollars. WTF, how is it a good idea to sell painkillers in such quantities in supermarkets?
If you sell drugs like candy people will eat it like candy.

- freeflight 4y agoAs a German it's super surreal to me. Ibuprofen are only sold in dedicated pharmacies here, behind the counter, the higher dosages ones even require a prescription from a doctor. I don't even understand why/how somebody can take/need so many of them in such high dosages. Usually half a 400 mg pill will deal with any headache I occasionally have. Took higher doses regularly due to problems with my teeth, which had a noticeable bad effect on my stomach. Do people just medicate that away too?
