Medical expert on NBC news says half of all liver damage cases are caused by acetaminophen, (www.modernmedicine.com)

Responses:

wow, they suggested banning percoset and vicodin, and making extra-strength tylenol RX only. -- (link) - ty97 Jun 30, 18:53 6
- that's as silly as extra strength ibuprofen. all you do is take extra regular strength tablets and abracadabra, extra stength -- nm - dogbert183 Jun 30, 19:01 3
  - Filling prescriptions for ibuprofen still makes me laugh. Who doesn't have it in the house? -- nm - Tim Jun 30, 19:02 2
    - i prefer 1 less-filler-filled prescription pill to 4 filler-filled otcs. -- nm - b! Jun 30, 19:05
    - I actually don't. literally the only drug I have in the house is some really old aleve I have from my achilles injury. - the haterstown campus loves mandy lane Jun 30, 19:05
- My god, half my script count would be gone. -- nm - Tim Jun 30, 19:01
- pukeocet is evil. -- nm - loosilu Jun 30, 18:54
It bet half of liver damage IS caused by it. But I bet 1 in 10 of those cases is someone - TWuG Jun 30, 18:51
i take way too much for head and back aches -- nm - zork Jun 30, 18:45 2
- for my back I take ibuprofen, it works better for muscle aches. -- nm - loosilu Jun 30, 18:47
- How often do you have these pains? Might want to get it looked at. -- nm - lileve Jun 30, 18:47
*raises hand* - ty97 Jun 30, 18:43 7
- tylenol -- nm - dogbert183 Jun 30, 18:44
- it's Tylenol. -- nm - Tim Jun 30, 18:44 5
  - *phew* -- nm - ty97 Jun 30, 18:49
  - Extra strength is 500mg and I think most Tylenol Cold/Flu/Sinus things are less than that per tablet. - Tim Jun 30, 18:46 3
    - and then it's also in other medications. if you take vicodin/norco, you're also taking the equivalent of a tylenol with each one. - dogbert183 Jun 30, 18:49 2
      - Yeah at least the norco is 325 per tablet (I see this overtaking vicodin soon) but people will take OTC tylenol on top of it... -- nm - Tim Jun 30, 18:51
      - I think a lot of people take extra tylenol with cold meds as well. -- nm - loosilu Jun 30, 18:50
wow I was always told to stop taking Advil cause Tylenol was so much better for me -- nm - J Jun 30, 18:41
Most of our pain killer addicts are near the 4,000 mg limit. -- nm - Tim Jun 30, 18:39

wow, your IM is scary. -- nm - loosilu Jun 30, 18:36 6
- I'm not sure who they were talking to...possibly an FDA type but I'd like to see where the numbers came from... - MojaveMeg Jun 30, 18:38 5
  - I'd like to see them too. that tit contributes to most liver problems? yes, easily. I still say that alcohol will be a bigger cause - dogbert183 Jun 30, 18:42 4
    - I have heard that tylenol is far more toxic than most people realize. -- nm - loosilu Jun 30, 18:46 2
      - I avoid taking it if at all possible. But I probably take too much ibuprofen in its place. -- nm - Tim Jun 30, 18:48 1
        
        I started acupuncture because I was taking too much ibuprofen for my neck. -- nm - loosilu Jun 30, 18:50
    - which tit? that tit! - dogbert183 Jun 30, 18:42
