I remember a thread on here the other day was about Calpol.

HAK I think you'll find a lot of this double-dosing has to do with people still putting Dr's on a pedastal and elevating them to such a high position that they don't want to or think they should question them... People need to be educated to use their own brains, research, and think in a constructive and analytical way.

I don't really know what to say... honestly, as a parent, does no-one actually understand what they're giving their children? Do they not tell the Dr what they have already given the sick child when they're in the consultation and how the child responded to it?! Do they not question the Dr on dosage, side-effects and, if a whole load of medication is being prescribed, what interactions could follow? These are just basics, imo. [rolls eyes'>
