Thanks Dusty for the additional information.

I think that the concern is more for the people that choose to use Pandaol or paracetamol to help settle a child or as a preventative before immunisations.

Aside from this finding, Many people think that pandaol is a 'safe' drug as it is a mild painkiller and i know adults that will frequently exceed the daily limit with panadol thinking that it will help. What they fail to realise is that the clearance of the drug by the liver is the slow and by giving additional doses can actually contribute to liver damage.

Heard of people taking a box of panadol to kill themselves (usually more as a dry for help) well these people have no idea how their lives will change, a perminent liver diet is incredibly boring and the hepatitis that results is no fun.

Personally i use panadol extremely sparingly, none during pg and MJ has had it once when she had a temp of 38.5 and was vomiting after immunitations...
I am not however suggesting that parents should not use Panadol or similar to treat high fevers and discomfort
Sorry thats a bit off topic, but thought i would throw it in.
