Paracetamol in First Aid Kits We removed issuing Panadol etc a few years ago following some back and forth discussions at the H&S Committee. Since then, following an incident of suspected heart attack and the ambos recommending that if anyone had any Asprin to give the person under their tongue. No one had any, so we bought a packet and keep it with the AED with a note saying along the lines of "only issue if prescribed by a medical practitioner/ambulance staff".
