acetaminophen awareness,how much do you take?

Most people aren't aware of how much acetaminophen is to much. Acetaminophen can cause liver damage which leads to liver failure. 4grams a day (4000 mg) is the max a person should be taking. I have been taking 3g a day for the past 4 yrs , and including the rest of the meds they have me on... well it scares me to death. Acetaminophen is found in otc products,not just script pain killers. Tylenol, Nyquil and Theraflu also has it. For some Tylenol is the first thing they grab out of the cabinet for any kind of pain.Acetaminophen can have harmful side effects in high doses.
How aware is the public of these side effects? In a 2007 study published in the Journal of American Pharmacists, researchers found that out of 104 respondents, 80% said that they had used acetaminophen. The majority of these people weren’t sure if they had received information about the risks of taking high doses. Also, they did not know what would be considered a high dose for regular- or extra-strength products.
Liver Damage
The liver is vulnerable to harm because it is the organ that processes toxic substances. When the liver is damaged by an overload of toxins, a person may have early signs of acute liver failure, like yellowing of the skin and eyes (called :: jaundice), nausea, and vomiting. These symptoms can quickly worsen, leading to liver failure and death
of pain. Makes me take a second look at what i'm gonna give my child next time a fever comes rolling around??????????

coupons????

I just got back off my last vacation for this year, now time to get busy...Had a good time except all the pain i endured and ofcourse ran off and left my ibuporfen and excedrin migraine and had to have something for heartburn because i think all the meds i'm takin has started giving me heartburn now...great just what i need "another" pill to take but anyways got me some pepcid and it seemed to work great. As i was saying that was extra money i had to spend and medicine is not cheap. I am in the process of trying to get some coupons for OTC and prescription medicines , because everybody needs a little help and coupons can help you save quite a bit...every little bit helps... now to figure out how to do this since i am fairly new. lol

Turmeric herb used for anti inflammatory and joint stiffness

I heard on our local news channel today that turmeric herb (family of the curry seasoning) is now in a capsule form that is being used daily for a "NATURAL" anti inflammatory and joint stiffness remedy... I am very excited about this, but what caught my attention was that it cleanses the liver of all the chemicals your other meds are doing to it, plus helps in cholesterol...I worry daily about what meds, and even the use of alcohol is doing to my liver. Turmeric is thought to reduce inflammation by lowering histamine levels and it may also stimulate the adrenal glands to increase production of a hormone that reduces inflammation. It is often used to ease joint pain and inflammation associated with arthritis. However, it is also used to reduce joint pain and in inflammation in other disorders as well. It also helps in digestive aid, and laboratory studies indicate that curcumin has anti-cancer activity. More specifically, it destroys some types of cancer cells. For example, in the laboratory, curcumin kills cultures of human leukemia cells. The man on the show today said he takes it everyday 3 x's a day and will from here on...it's all natural definately worth a try and looking . i'm going this weekend to the nearest health store and getting me some, turmeric capsules, check em out...pregnant women, people with blood clotting disorders and certain health conditions can not take, ask your pharmacist or dr. if any questions about this....
