I’m on a disability pension and like many Australians really struggling financially. If a change is made to pack sizes and how I can purchase these tablets it will have a significant impact on myself. I currently buy a pack of 100 tablets for $2.95 from my chemist. I am 51 and have pain issues requiring use of paracetamol on a near daily basis. This allows me to treat my pain in a way not requiring strong painkillers. As an addict in recovery it’s an important consideration for me. When Redacted text went to prescription only that affected me. As someone who has overdosed on paracetamol I understand the concern however there’s a wider reaching impact here and one I hope you carefully consider. Smaller packs can cost more money and I would use a pack every 4-5 days. I may have to go without if the amount is limited.

I’m thinking of those families that may need younger children age 16/17 that require those children to buy their medication if they can’t get there themselves. Could be impacting lower income families with medical issues.
