PSA:

Acetaminophen/paracetamol has a hard stop upper dose limit, above which it becomes extremely toxic.

That limit is 4g (8 “extra strength” (500mg) tablets) in 24 hours (about 2 tablets every 6 hours).

A single dose of 22 extra strength tablets can kill you.

Taking 12 or more tablets per day for more than a week can also kill you (this is about 3 tablets every 6 hours).

Symptoms of overdose take up to 24 hours to manifest, and are fairly difficult to distinguish from other problems. They include abdominal pain (especially right upper quadrant), nausea, malaise, and confusion.

The antidote (n-acetylcystine) must be given within 8hours of ingestion in order to be useful.

After 10 hours the only thing that will work is a liver transplant.

You might think “why would I ever accidentally take so much?”

Well, acetaminophen is in almost everything in the cold/flu/pain aisle. Migraine combos like Excedrin, cold and flu combos like NyQuil, basically anything that says “non-aspirin pain relief”, and anything that’s branded as a fever reducer. It’s all probably acetaminophen/paracetamol.

So the goal of this post is to get you to read the labels on your medications. Because taking taking Tylenol and NyQuil together for a week (like you might if you had the flu) could kill you.

Hello!! Here is your friendly reminder that you CANNOT build a resistance to paracetamol (acetaminophen, tylenol) l. It doesn't work like that, you could take it everyday for 50 years and it would work the same (you probably shouldn't, but you could). It is also a build up drug, so it will work better if you take it consistently!! Take your goddamn pain relief!!!!

In follow up to my previous post about acetaminophen/paracetamol, I would like to add that while it is very dangerous in overdose, it is actually pretty safe for long-term use (at least as far as we know). So as long as you're taking less than 4g per day, you could do so indefinitely without problems.

Ibuprofen, on the other hand, is statistically not going to kill you from overdose. There's a limit above which it stops working any better (about 800mg, or 4 OTC tablets), but even if you were taking like 6 things with ibuprofen in them, you wouldn't die of overdose. BUT. Long term use of ibuprofen can seriously mess you up. It can cause gastric ulcers, GI bleeding (which can be very dangerous), and double your risk of heart attack.

So TL;DR: if you're taking it for something short term, use ibuprofen, and if you're taking it for something long term, use acetaminophen/paracetamol.

Todos hemos tomado paracetamol cuando tenemos algún dolor de cabeza o, sencillamente, nos sentimos mal; sin embargo, se descubrió que esto podría generar comportamientos riesgosos...
