Title: Re: Why do they make paracetamol tablets so big ? Post by: kinboshi on April 26, 2008, 04:10:22 PM Just drink the water that you'd use to wash the tablet down if you've got a headache. Many headaches are caused by dehydration anyway. Of course, if you haven't got a headache, this doesn't apply...

I dont know actually, ive never really thought about it, i always ask for a tub of paracetamol when i go into a shop. I think it must subconsciously gratify me that as a consumer i'm buying a product that with such ridiculously superfluous packaging im contributing to the the destruction of the rainforests, extinction of the whales, and holes in the ozone layer and all that. I threw a can of stella in a plastics only bin the other day, i think i might have sunk an iceburg. Title: Re: Why do they make paracetamol tablets so big ?

I was watching a documentary about coke cola on ch4 a while back which was supposed to be a detrimental expose on how badly some of there workers are treated, turned out to be the best advert for coke you could imagine. Look at it this way, you know your getting a decent beverage if 8 Chinese workers slaved 18 hours a day for £1.40 each to produce and package it, in fact i wont drink a soft drink now unless i know at least 4 impoverished people were exploited/injured/tortured/ in its production. Now look at jammy wagon wheels, produced in the UK, you get about 1/30th of the fucking waggon wheel filled with jam, you know why? cos dawn and betty are sitting in the factory nattering away to eachother all day without the hint of a whip being brought out thus producing an inferior product. slave labour works, rudimentary commercialism!

Post by: Bainn on April 26, 2008, 06:45:48 PM I had major trouble taking paracetamol up until a few years ago as I choked on one as a child, but having to take various pills over the years I have got used to them.
Luckily for me, the other medication is easy on the throat. Diclofenac are tiny, Tramadol comes in easy to swallow capsules, Dihydrocodeine are small although leave a nasty taste and my Prednisolone are microscopic.

Excellent point!..The Biritsh empire was built during the industrial revolution and there people who were poor and little kids slaved away doing work that could get them killed in appaling conditions for 14 hours a day and they made a pittance. It's how empires are built...these days Health and safety and people's right is everywhere and that's what's killing Brittain and killed off the empire! |
