you know, i was thinknig that very thing myself. And i am not 100% sure
that it would be so funny to od on paracetamol anyway. made jackie O look
likee a stupid git, and assuming the producers of the show read over her
script before she says it, then they are complete meatheads as well.

Yep. Advil is ibuprofen (and Aleve is naproxyn). And paracetamol is very
hard if not impossible to get hold of in the US! They've got rid of it
because of the OD problem. Bloody stupid. However, the harder thing to get
hold of is codeine.
So Mersyndol probably isn't a to take to the US if customs find it
(although the 3rd ingredient, doxylamine succinate IS easily obtainable
there).

Paracetemol is an absolutely miserable way to top yourself. It can
take days to kill you, and if in the meantime you've changed your mind
about dying - tough.

I think a cry for help via a paracetamol OD is actually not wise. Once you
have had that amount of paracetamol in your system, no amount of stomach
pumping and cuddles from anybody will cure the failure of the renal system
that follows. Tragically these people are dragged screaming towards death
even though they have solved their grief of Home & Away not being shown 7
days a week.
Good riddance, the gene pool is stronger from these voluntary exits!

Richard, you are old enough to remember that there are other options
of communication other than email. It wasn't THAT long ago that we
didn't even have an option of email. Cast your mind back, and I'm
certain that you will remember some other options of communication.

ROFLMAO at all the righteous indignation from those who watched the
show.
WTF did you all expect from a show with both Molloy and O - side
splitting genuine enjoyable comedy???

Yep. It dissolves your liver, slowly, and it's irreversible once the drug
has worked through your system. But you need to take quite a lot of it.

Which would mean the pack of Advil I bought from Coles a while back doesn't
actually exist? :)

"Whilst Advil was only introduced into the Australian market in 2004 it is
actually the worlds #1 selling ibuprofen based pain reliever. Advil has
been trusted by millions of people around the globe for over 20 years."

I agree completely, and thought so when I watch that segment the other
night.

That certainly explains your knowledge on the topic, but it doesn't
explain all the others. Unless this group is suddenly full of semi-
illiterate pharmacologists - which I doubt.

...and I always wanted to be a Dr. -- medical backgrounding gives me some

finally you have something correct, but it did take you over a month to
think about it and get it correct
