Acetaminophen is the most popular pain reliever, used by over 100 Million people per year. Most users consider it so safe they aren't concerned about getting too much. And thats probably why there are over 56,000 emergency room visits annually. Over 100 of them die. One popular brand is Tylenol. Most of us use it and have found relief.
But its also found in so many other products (cold remedies, prescriptions,etc)that people can overdose without realizing it until its too late. Some companies are now printing more information on the Front label. And we commend the McNeil company for warning people:
" If you don't read the label.......Don't use the product.!"
Just doubling the daily safe dose could lead to death, according to these researchers. I'm glad for the warning. It came as a surprise that this popular over the counter product is the leading cause of liver failure. Read your labels. Talk with pharmacist if any doubts.
