Paying a few quid for sachets of soluble paracetamol is a ripoff, but it will tend to work on headache and achey pains. <br /><br />And absolutely, we should lok at what all the other medicines do. If there's no evidence that a medicine works on the ailments mentioned on the packaging, it shouldn't be sold.merrickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10959849087751101034noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8441439.post-56728163636655385222010-03-02T17:37:35.011+00:002010-03-02T17:37:35.011+00:00Weather or not Boots sells something or not is har...Weather or not Boots sells something or not is hardly the point. Do their anti wrinkle creams really work? is there really compelling evidence that their cold and flu remedies help you get better any quicker, does pantene pro-v really make your hair healthier, is their 'healthy eating' sandwich really healthy?....the fact that Boots are selling some crap that is falsely marketed is not really news, they'd have to empty their shelves if they needed to prove the claims made by all their products!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
