DNP: the dangerous diet pill pharmacists should know about

Trade-press feature reporting that DNP is now widely available to purchase from the internet through websites which appear to be legitimate, and can be bought via eBay and Amazon with a simple search; cites National Poisons Information Service (NPIS) data showing roughly three DNP poisoning cases referred per year in 2007-2011 rising to around 115 cumulative cases by 2019; reports the UK Advisory Council on the Misuse of Drugs' conclusion that DNP should not be controlled under the Misuse of Drugs Act 1971 because there is no conclusive evidence it is psychoactive; and summarizes Eloise Parry's 2015 death and Bernard Rebelo's prosecution.
