Coproxamol ‘Community’

Way back at the end of January 2005, I wrote a post about the (at that time) recently announced withdrawal of the painkiller Coproxamol. Weirdly, it since appears to have become almost a noticeboard for people with views about the withdrawal and (over the last month or so) a discussion about where to keep on getting it, the best places, and customs/excise issues with importing it from other countries.

In fact, at the time of writing it’s got 122 comments on it – making it by far the most popular post on D4D™.

It strikes me as weird, actually, that there’s all this discussion on D4D™. Maybe it’s because the other site mentioned in those comments, Coproxamol.org.uk is down, with no sign of life at all. I don’t know. (It does make me think that there could be some opportunities around that site name, though- if only the owner of it were prepared to do something with it.)
