      Which is unsurprising. Too many people are unaware how easily you can OD on the stuff because they include it in medicines for other symptoms. Have a cold? Take a sinus medicine (Sudafed + Tylenol), and an expectorant (Mucinex + Tylenol), oh and maybe some Tylenol too for the headache.

      If it wasn’t already grandfathered in since before the FDA existed, it probably never would have been apprived for sale.

      Still doesn’t cause autism though.

      All of them have a negative side effects of the prescription is not respected. It seems the toxic dose per kilogram for aspirin is similar to the one for paracetamol, and the one for ibuprofen is about twice more.
