Where can I buy Placebo from??

Question

My gran has her prescribed tablets (about 24 daily!), but she keeps having about 10 additional paracetamols every day. This must be bad for her health, but she believes it stops pains in her arms, which is evidently not true. When I ask where have all of her paracetamols gone, she accuses the nurse of stealing paracetamols worth about 50p!

Anyway, is there anyway of buying Placebo? Can I buy it from the chemist? I think she will psycologically improve if she ditches the paracetamols, and has these without her unknowing of coarse.

Answer 1

Use tic tacs.

Answer 3

Anything can be used as a placebo a placebo is just a sugar pill, i mean you could use m & m's and tell her that it is paracetamol and she would believe that it is helping her because you have told her that it is a paracetamol. There are lots of things you could use if you just think hard enough, for example tic tacs

Anyway Good luck hope you solve this problem

Answer 4

A placebo isn't a brand name, it's a term used to describe an effectiveless treatment which is believed by the patient to be real.

Answer 6

what about breath mints? or hollowing out the capsules?

i'm not sure if you can buy them, if she has a doctor let him give them to you, of course without her knowledge.
