Guest guest Posted December 31, 2005 Report Share Posted December 31, 2005 News to me ... thought I'd share. I've used 1000 mg acetominophen (Tylenol, etc.)on occasion taking 8 or more a day for pain without giving it much thought (sure the label says 4000 mg max). Was listening to CBC last week and a physician was discussing his study of 400 persons waiting for liver transplant ... about half had simply been taking large quantities of acetominophen regularly for pain control. And with a quick google search just now ... " Additionally, the leading single cause of liver failure in Western countries is overdose of the common pain medication, acetominophen (Tylenol). In fact, acetominophen overdose patients are placed in a special category as candidates for liver transplant because the speed of liver damage requires immediate treatment.
