[QUOTE="Dark Horse, post: 1318932, member: 52527"] In your original post, you said that you'd taken 3 x 500 mg tablet which is why I warned about taking more than 1000 mg. However, in this post you say you don't take more than 1000 mg - I assume the original was a typo (easily done)? The amount of paracetamol in all genuine UK tablets etc. is very strictly controlled and will not be the cause of your problem. Your problem could be caused by any of the following:- [LIST=1] [*]Different brands of paracetamol can have different non-active ingredients and these could theoretically affect the rate of absorption in some individuals. In which case, trying a more easily absorbed brand might help, e.g. [URL]http://www.boots.com/en/Panadol-Advance-500-mg-Tablets-32-_872998/[/URL] [*]You might have unfortunately been sold counterfeit paracetamol with no active ingredient.
