Cause Liver failure with your OTCM

Yes you too can cause yourself days of pain and suffering by abusing your favorite Over The Counter Meds.

According to research in the journal Hepatology by Anne Larson et al, Hepatology 2005 42(6):1252-4, Acetaminophen has become the most common cause of acute liver failure. If used correctly it remains a safe and effective painkiller. Used inappropriately and you can cause serious damage to your essential internal filtration organ. By taking too much, such as popping Tylenol every day can seriously damage your liver. It is advised that you should never exceed 4,000 milligrams per day. Doubling that can kill you. That evil Acetaminophen is in Tylenol, Theraflu, Excedrin, Vicodin and Percocet.

I am slightly passionate about this topic only because a loved one nearly died of this poisoning. It is dreadful to watch a person go through liver failure. They are so weakened and sickly you wonder every day if they will survive.

Take it easy on the meds everyone. And maybe all you really need for that headache is some water.
