@drmarkporter in @SagaUK March magazine repeats a common myth, confusing the law on paracetamol pack sizes, and transaction rules.
Packs are max 16tabs in a shop or 32tabs in a pharmacy.
This is entirely separate from guidance on how many packs to sell!
nhs.uk/common-health-…@drmarkporter@SagaUK@drmarkporter gives the example of a 70 year old wanting to buy regular paracetamol, 8 per day.
Pharmacist can sell you up to 100tabs in one transaction. (Likely 3x32=96).
They are professionals not shopkeepers, and we trust them to make this judgement.
So @getadrip deleted their tweet about IV and IM medicines for £50, after I asked about regulatory issues.
Emails from "Richard" @getadrip are bizarre.
"We are not currently CQC registered as we do not fall within their scope and have not been informed otherwise by the CQC."
Again from @getadrip :
"All our products are MHRA approved and are prescribed by GMC Registered Doctors or Advanced Nurse Practitioners, all of whom have 10 - 25 years experience in the NHS individually.

1/@TheBMA@BMANews From Lamb's article:
"Where there are cycle lanes some choose not to use them" - correct; may I refer you to the UK's unfit for purpose cycling "infrastructure" or "farcilities":
