Acetaminophen is found in many prescription and over-the-counter(OTC) medications to treat pain and fevers. There are serious liver damage risks when taking too many milligrams of Acetaminophen found in Tylenol, Vicodin, Percocet, and many more.
Yesterday, January 14th the FDA recommended that health care professionals discontinue prescribing and dispensing acetaminophen drug products that are over 325mg. The FDA expressed skepticism over how the clinical trial data was analyzed, stating,“It is unclear how to choose the metric for determining when the benefit of rivaroxaban is greatest. Not only does the effect of rivaroxaban not appear to be greater earlier, but an effect in the first 90 days or so is not apparent at all.”
Manufacturers had until January 14, 2014 to comply with this request. Over half of the drug manufactures have voluntarily followed the FDA’s request. For the drugs that continue to have a higher milligram dosage than 325 the FDA plans to start withdraw approval proceedings of any combination drug products that have not changed and remain on the market.
“Inadvertent overdose from prescription combination drugs containing acetaminophen accounts for nearly half of all cases of acetaminophen-related liver failure in the United States, some of which result in liver transplant or death.”
