It doesn’t actually take that much to OD on paracetamol, the damage it can do may or may not kill you even at a ‘low’ dose of too much.
There’s 2.4G in a bottle of infant calpol so just over double a standard adult dose. Hadn’t thought about junior calpol as that will be more concentrated. A “
duck ton” is probably excessively flowery in terms of my language lol but all I can say is I’ve seen and treated a lot of patients with paracetamol overdoses and none of them have ever drank it in liquid form except one lady who crushed the adult tablets and dispersed them in a drink. Livers regenerate well so a non fatal paracetamol OD which doesn’t require transplantation will usually lead to full recovery in a healthy well nourished adult who is treated in hospital promptly.
Basically all I’m saying is calpol wasn’t the target of the legislative changes around paracetamol purchasing so pharmacists can employ some discretion and obviously parents can just go to more than one shop, we always have an extra bottle of calpol in reserve!
Anyway, my main point is, Chris Ramsey is an ignorant cock
