Malaysia is stricter than many countries on what is sold off the shelf. Having said that, the paracetamol tablets are 650 mg in size and that is a very high dosage for an over-the-counter sale and there is no restriction on the amount purchased at one time. There are even very big boxes for sale.
Medicines, etc. are VERY expensive in Malaysia and I presume that is because medication can be covered by medical insurance?
