Does anyone know the minimum age in the UK to buy certain Painkillers?

Question

... including:

aspirin

paracetamol

ibuprofen

codeine

Answer 1

i think its 16 for the first two or three ! but you may have to be 18 to get codeine, the codeine is a really small dosage, to get a more effective dose you'd have to see yr gp about dihydrocodeine(df118's), a strong opiate which is only a step away from morphine !!! be wary .... they're fiercely addictive. you may only be allowed 8 or 16 paracetamol, introduced to try and curb overdoses...a bit silly as you just go to another pharmacy !!! anyhoos im away out with my dogs, its gorgeous out there but it never lasts !!! manana ma man !! hop this helps...
