> I believe there are some exceptions for prescriptions. You can essentially forget the maximum pill numbers for paracetamol/ibuprofen when it comes to prescriptions in the UK. Doctors can prescribe hundreds of either pill to be given to a patient at once (eg if someone is prescribed to take 8 a day and they get their meds monthly, as is the case with one paracetamol recipient I know, the pharmacy gives him multiple 100x 500mg paracetamol boxes each month.) (To be clear, "given to them at once" as in dispensing the pills, not giving to take all at once!)
