Wtf. You can now only buy two packs at a time of paracetamol and the max pack size at the supermarket is 16. I remembered hearing about that change and didn’t worry because I barely used it then but it’s come in right as I’ve started needing to use it regularly. (I have the option of prescription painkillers but prefer to avoid the risks and make do with over the counter.)
It’s bullshit anyway. You can just get around it by adding a few more boxes of a different brand or hitting up different shops. If someone wants to misuse it they will.
The problem is I get delivery around weekly to fortnightly and can’t really pop out just to get one thing. Under the new restrictions I could still get a 50 pack of Panamax from the pharmacy but that brand is really rough on my body for some reason.
All this has done is make life more difficult for disabled people.
Different brand tablets have different compositions. A good brand will have ingredients like buffers that help you digest and absorb the active ingredient.
It was weird. I had taken two Panamax in the morning for cramps and then 4 hours later the pain was coming back so I took another two… then suddenly I developed a headache and serious nausea and was googling for any recent recalls because I knew for sure I hadn’t taken too many pills.
I’ve never had that happen before. And I used to use Panamax years ago. I use the 60 cent Coles brand now and have had no issues there :/ Haven’t noticed anything amiss with Hedanol either.

So yes, brand names usually are better.
