Default Any Doctors in the House re VOLTAROL

I have a few packets of these tablets left over from last year wich I take occasionally ( Pain Killer - anti inflamatory ). I offered some to a colleague who had a car crash yesterday and some fcucking busybody poked their nose in and said it had been banned!

Anyone know if it's true as I havent heard this and can see nothing on the net and can still buy it on the net.

I was on them until not long ago, never heard of them being banned??

Though if you crunch them up in your mouth before swallowing, they do tend to make your liver hurt!

I hardly think Voltarol have been banned but them and similar medicals have rendered a warning that you should not eat them if you wish to get pregnant.

Apparently some women hade been munching on the for 2 years and could not pregnant. However, the instant she stopped with the medication she was able to get pregnant.

Ive been eating them since 1994 so I will never get pregnant, but perhaps thats nothing to do with the pills.
