Default Re: codeine

I query your paracetamol statements.

You say that co-codamol poses a OD risk because every tablet could contain 500mg of Paracetamol.

I would have said that every tablet SHOULD contain 500mg paracetamol and if the dose is kept to 2 at a time and no more than 8 in a day, where's the OD risk?
