Read not too long ago that the FDA is in the process of changing the OTC label. 4 grams/day is way too much!

If you buy in Costco sizes, keep in mind that acetominoPHEN is a metabolite of PHENacitin, a real drain on Ozzie Medicare many decades later.

Remember acute liver failure is a bit harder to treat than acute kidney failure.

That being said, I think most clinicians would consider Tylenol to have less potential for drug interaction. It is not considered an anti-inflammatory agent though. Must use with caution in people who consume significant quantities of EtOH.

BTW, Kaiser considers your BP high if over 140/80 (either number is over).

While there are certainly those that cannot lower theirs any other way than meds, I'm happy to say that my wife is now off her meds. Big weight loss, diet change and exersize really did work. And as a side benefit, mine is back to my early 20's BP (110/65 :) ).
