All the acetaminophen...That article is inaccurate.<br /><br />All the acetaminophen proposals I've seen are to ban it <b>only</b> in combination products. Many people just can't correctly read labels and do arithmetic when they are sick, which is compounded by most of the combinations including sedatives intended to shut down thinking processes. We have done the experiment, folks can't do it, and the resulting carnage costs on the order of a billion dollars a decade.<br /><br />You would still be able to buy acetaminophen by itself. Sick people seem to do a lot better when you reduce the instructions to "Eight pills a day. Never more."Daniel Newbyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16447547303783134514noreply@blogger.com
