National Poison Center Calls Before vs After Availability of High-Dose Acetaminophen (Paracetamol) Tablets in Switzerland

Abstract

This study found a significant increase in acetaminophen dispensing and acetaminophen-related poisonings in Switzerland following the approval of 1000-mg tablets in 2003. The availability of 1000-mg acetaminophen should be re-evaluated to minimize the potential for accidental poisonings.
