[QUOTE="GeorgeK, post: 7547215, member: 106748"] There are other OTC medicines to beware of. Top of the list are the 'max strength' painkillers like Nurofen Plus and Paramol which contain the opiate codeine. People get addicted and it's not the codeine that does the damage it's the huge quantities of paracetamol or other painkillers mixed with the codeine they end up consuming. OTC Sudafed decongestant may not be addictive but contains a strong stimulant called ephedrine, long term use can cause heart damage. It's also used to make crystal meth. Finally steroid creams can be bought OTC in small quantities, they are great at relieving skin irritation and reducing swelling but over use damages the skin. [/QUOTE]
