Addicted To Paracetamol
UpdatedHi, my niece has been taking Stil-Pane now for a number of years. Since i am now living with my sister i am shocked to experience the quantities she takes at any given time. Between 40-60 tablets and sometimes more. One day not too long ago she consumed 80. I have read that the drug can eventually cause liver and kidney damage,now i know why she drinks large amounts of water!!. My questions is why do doctors keep handing out repeated scripts for Stil-Pane??? This leads me to my next question, she is not on a Medical Aid and is able to receive the tablets over the counter at various pharmacies even when the script is not in her name?? ( her parents) Surely there should be some sort of control being as it is a schedule 5 drug!! The most worrying factor for me is that one day something drastic is going to happen and she loses her life, are the doctors or pharmacies going to be held responsible!!!!!! Something must be done and therefore i would like some advice as where to start to try and put and end to the easy accessibility of this drug and perhaps save the lives o many others!!!!
