MOMENT OF ANTENNA
Aspirin, Doliprane and Advil may soon be placed behind the counter of pharmacies and no longer open access to the shelves. This is what the French Medicines Agency (ANSM) wants to limit the risks associated with the misuse of these over-the-counter products. Esther, pharmacist, reacts to the microphone of Europe 1.
Based in a popular neighborhood, she denounced "medical complacency" and pushed a joke against prescriptions prescribing many boxes of paracetamol. "We know that the maximum dose allows four Doliprane per day," says the pharmacist, but some of her clients have orders "departure abroad: deliver three months at a time." "I let you imagine the number of boxes!"
"There is no education on the part of the doctors.At the end of ten minutes, at 23 euros a minute, they put the patients out, they do not educate and they agree to prescribe that!" A measure desired by the ANSM from January 2020. For the moment a consultation is in progress with the laboratory.
