Restrictions on the sale of medicinal products containing paracetamol are set out in regulations 13 to 16 of the Medicinal Product (Prescription and Control of Supply) Regulations 2003, SI 540 of 2003. In summary, these regulations establish maximum pack sizes for such products depending on the size of the pack and whether the packs concerned are sold in pharmacies or in other outlets. All solid unit dosage forms must be in blister packs and in all cases prescribed statements must appear on the labelling and on the package leaflets.
