Beware of paracetomol packaging

[TC1474]

Last night I felt the first pangs of a headache developing, so I thought I would pop a couple of paracetomol and nip it in the bud before it really developed.

So, went into the first aid/medication pot pulled out a packet and as I popped a tablet out I pricked the end of my thumb with the foil wrapper that they come in.

Now normally apart from the odd swear word, I would not have given it a second thought, but then it started to bleed, and bleed, and bleed, and bleed, in fact it continued to bleed for the next couple of hours to the point that by the time I was ready to go to bed, I had to put a plaster over the area of my thumb that was bleeding.

I am on Warfarin so my INR level is 2.5 which means I do bleed longer and more than those who are not on blood thinners, but FFS, I only pricked my thumb on some foil.

Anyway, this morning, thumb is still a bit sore, and I could see where the blood was starting or trying to creep through the plaster, but at least it stopped bleeding.

Who would have thought that paracetomol packaging could be so dangerous?

Oh and the headache was nipped in the bud.......

As long as it wasn't ibuprofen, then that would be a disaster with the rat poison.

Just to get the facts out there, the government have changed the minimum strength specs on the packaging of all drugs to make them more child resistant, and the manufacturers are all gradually complying. Can't remember offhand when the last date for compliance is but everything will be like that soon. Its a problem for the elderly already and I have to field complaints nearly every day.

Another example of the busybodies protecting kids from idiot parents who cant be trusted to keep medicines out of reach at the expense of the largest user group of the medicines.
