Nolotil, the pain medication dangerous for Britons

TP

Today we're going to talk about a drug that's infamous amongst Britons in Spain: Nolotil. Over the past few years, this pain medication has been making headlines, accused of being particularly dangerous for British and Irish people here in Spain, causing side-effects that have, in some cases, lead to death.

In fact, it's a medication that is banned in most countries (including the UK and the US), but that is one of the most popular pain medications here in Spain. This month, Spain has agreed to open an investigation into the drug... and today, we'll hear from Cristina García del Campo, president of ADAF, the association that first brought attention to the danger this medication poses.
