Has there been a dearth of Aspro Clear where you are?

It has been unavailable for at least 6 months due to supply issues.
Back on the shelves now but in limited supply

Don’t know.We are a Panadol house. :grinning:

I have no idea what this Aspro Clear is. Living the the US, it must be foreign brand?
I can honestly say no matter what it is, it is not on our shelves. So, the US isn’t your supply grabber. :stuck_out_tongue:

It’s been so many years since I had any. Plink plink, fizzz. Great for a hangover and apparently to revive wilted flowers.

Exactly what it is. I find them very effective and fast acting. Soluble.

When I was chatting to my brother in the UK recently I discovered that in the UK packets of painkillers come in a maximum size of 30 tablets.

It came up in conversation because I mentioned that I bought a packet of chemists own brand Ibuprofen and discovered it now only contained 98 tablets instead of 100. I did check the packets of Paracetamol but they are still 100 tablets.

I wonder if they will eventually impose such a restriction here?

People are probably less likely to commit suicide in Oz.

Oh? is that the reason for the restriction? Surely you could just tour all the chemists buying 30 at each?

I used to have constant headaches so much so I went to the DR’s. the first thing he said was take off your trousers and underpants. There you are he said your underpants are too small.
Since getting larger ones no more headaches :rofl:

Do you still wear your underpants on your head?

That was probably your mistake.

People who wanted to kill themselves using paracetamol weren’t that rational. It’s possibly one of the worst ways to go.

I think it very unlikely, given panadol and aspirin and Ibrufen are available in supermarkets.

About 5 years ago, all codeine containing medications were made prescription only - and Dr’s and pharmacists can check central registry to see if already prescribed/dispensed from another doctor.

that wasnt because of suicides but because of self medicating leading to addiction issues.
