Since 1998 over-the-counter acetaminophen has been available in Britain only in small quantities and in difficult-to-open "blister" packaging, making impulsive large overdoses less likely. Studies indicate that hospital admissions, deaths and liver transplants related to acetaminophen have declined in Britain since 1998




Well, there you go. Apparently the drug co. lobbyists are not as successful in Britain as they are here...Many drugs that have been already banned in Britain, or at least re-issued with clear side-effect information, are still touted here as wonder drugs.

Lilly was really pushing this with Zyprexa...
