Legislation (1998) limits the sale of painkillers to packs of 16 in all shops except pharmacies which may sell packs of 32 to minimise the risk of overdosing. People are not allowed by law to buy more than 32 tablets at one time and some shops display a notice to this effect.



Take note, not *all* painkillers have this limit. My local pharmacy
stocks packs of 48 x 400mp Ibuprofen.....

I didn;t say *all* painkillers just those that come under the 1998 act and where's your local pharmacy ?

About a quarter of a mile away from where I live on the Grand Union
Canal, but it's not the only place I've bought ibruprofen in that size pack.

Paracetamol are in 16's or 32's, as are Aspirin.
