Nolotil is a painkiller often prescribed in Spain. It is is currently thought dangerous to administer this drug to British people as many have died after taking it and the Spanish authorities have advised or recommended that doctors shouldn't give it to them. It is strange that there is now a shortage of said drug in Spain and it is believed that this is due to the drug being stockpiled by British chemists. Why would you stockpile a painkiller known to cause many deaths to British people?
