Petition Raise the minimum age of paracetamol purchase from 16 to 18 years old
I want the government to raise the minimum age of paracetamol purchase from 16 to 18 years old. I feel that many people under 18 don't understand the consequences of overdosing on paracetamol. I think that raising the minimum age to 18, there will be fewer chance for paracetamol incidents with teens
More details
I think there are young people who take paracetamol to treat minor inconveniences without realising the greater damage it can do. I think if this change happened, there could be fewer chances for long term damage in teens who do not understand the consequences of a readily available medicine.
