Paracetamol overdose 'accidental'

Paracetemol

An inquest has found that an accidental overdose of paracetamol killed a 37-year-old woman from Limavady.

Deborah Robinson took 16-and-a-half tablets over two days to cure flu.

She was treated at hospital in Coleraine, then transferred to King's College Hospital in London where she died from kidney and liver failure.

Raymond Anderson, president of the Pharmaceutical Society of Northern Ireland, said people need to be more aware of the dangers of paracetamol.
