The measure will affect around 36 different brands of paracetamol including Doliprane, Efferalgan, Dafalgan and 46 kinds of ibuprofen including Advil and Nurofen. When asked pharmacists in France often make customers aware of the risks of taking paracetamol and the maximum recommended dose. In July 2019 the health agency announced that boxes of paracetamol would be marked with the words "overdose = danger". The recommended amount of paracetamol is a maximum of 3 grams in 24 hours with a gap of six hours between each gram. Members of the public are not advised to take paracetamol for longer than 3 days at a time without consulting a doctor.
