How we produce our information|
Most people eat much more salt than they need. Most foods are salted during cooking and manufactured foods contain a lot of added salt. It is important to check the amount on the packaging. Some experts say we should all aim to cut down our overall salt intake by about a quarter.
If your pain tablets are ones that you dissolve in water, they may contain large amounts of salt. Ask your doctor or pharmacist for advice.
