What’s the controversy over 650mg paracetamol?

Doctors stress the need for understanding ‘dose’, the strength of the drug, and ‘dosage’, how and at what intervals it should be taken.

A meeting of the Drug Advisory Committee held on March 25 decided to grant permission to register 650mg paracetamol in Nepal in a move that would open the door for Nepali pharma companies, which currently produce the most commonly used anti-fever and pain relief drug in 500mg tablets, to start producing 650mg tablets.
