Tom that is so sad, sad story. I hope he makes it not a nice way to die when he didn't mean it to happen and just wanted help. Paracetomol is deadly but effective as a painkiller I use it for headaches, but am careful not to exceed the limit and check other meds for ingredients before taking them if I have taken paracetomol. I would hate to get restricted to buying 4-6 tablets at a time instead of 16, I keep some at work, some in the car/bike, some at home and some in my bag so I have various packets open at different places... the message needs to be clearer, and possibly not have them sold cheaply by supermarkets through the till ensuring you speak to someone before buying them.
