[Paracetamol prescriptions, are we using the correct doses?].
The authors report on an analysis regarding prescriptions for the main active ingredient in paracetamol in the Basque Country Autonomous Region, by means of data gathered from medical prescription records. Greater doses of paracetamol are being used all the time in spite of the fact that the recommendations and posology for its use have not varied. This increase warns about a possible safety problem.
