Tougher restrictions mooted for paracetamol
The TGA has commissioned an expert report into the OTC following high rates of poisoning
A TGA-commissioned expert report will consider if current restrictions around paracetamol are strong enough to prevent self-harm.
An independent panel has been tasked with reporting on access to the painkiller and the current level of harm, amid ongoing concerns about the high prevalence of accidental and deliberate paracetamol poisoning in children and adults.
