~~In a family of five, how often would I have to go to the pharmacy under that rule? Keep in mind that menstrual pain is a thing. Or would that just be the cheat code to get a dangerous dose?

How would the different online pharmacies know how often I told that story? Or does your proposal just mean "increased shipping cost"?

Don't think that's practical at all.~~

edit: Post I'm replying to wasn't talking about amounts at all. They are correct.

I don't know what that would change? You go to the pharmacy, say you have a family of five and menstrual pain? Nobody said anything about limiting the amount of drugs to buy.

Oh sorry maybe I misunderstood. Yes, paracetmol and other painkillers should only be sold in pharmacies. This is the case in Germany but you can buy essentially as much as you want if you tell them it's for multiple people.

Can you just buy them in a supermarket in the US?

edit: nvm, you're from DE as well. Again, sorry for misreading.
