Interesting. I didn’t know that anyone ever took just one paraceatamol. In the UK the packets all say that the dosage is two tablets, unless you are a small child. So people just kind of follow the instructions (at least I do). I have migraines infrequently (once a month, slightly less) but when I do realise I am having a migraine their is no way I am taking any paraceatamol less than what the packet stipulates. Firstly because I am in pain, and secondly because migraines seem to fog up by basic cognition in weird ways—I get weirdly stubborn about following instructions. Imagine me there, my vision swimming, can’t read because my sight is blury and the room is spinning. But the box says to “Always read the instructions in full before use” so I have to read this tiny text on this little paper before I can have my paracetamols. So when the instructions tell me 2, that is what it shall be. (I now throw the instructions away while sane).

In my country it says to take 1-2 paracetamol, so that might be the cause of the confusion.
