What is the rule on claiming expenses such as over the counter painkillers, eg Anadain, Sudafed

I would only allow these if they were available to all staff in an office - then you would have to consider health and safety implications of having medication available to staff

Surely if there is a first-aid kit in the office there could be a box of paracetamol in it

 You should never have tablets of any kind in a first aid box. This is the recommendation of the HSE

 I agree with David Wills on the guidance regarding painkillers in a first aid box. You'd be opening up the client for all sorts of health and safety liabilities....... I remember this from my NHS training, and I wouldn't allow this as an expense either.
