    I think in UK paracetamol is sold over the counter in 28 x 500mg tablets most commonly. Larger packs or higher strengths are prescription only I think.

    So 1 pack should last 3.5 days at the max adult dose of 8 per 24h - but I think it’d recommend seeing your doctor if you get into a second pack and you’re still using that maximum dosage.

    Generally shops will limit sales to 2 packs, but it’s easy to shop around so that’s no limit.

        oops my memory failed.

        It’d mostly be in 16s in the supermarket. So each pack is probably 2 days at the max dose.
