Could this be due to a certain degree of confusion over what is actually in
over the counter pain relief drugs. I am sure I heard a case of the patient
had said they had taken Anadin which I believe is traditionally an aspirin
formulation. Salicylates were negative and the patient was discharged. In
fact they had taken Anadin extra or plus or something which is a combination
of aspirin and paracetamol or may just be even paracetamol (case proved I
have confusion over what is in what !)
