During flu season especially, people are taking pain relievers, cough syrups and other medication, many of which have acetaminophen in them. In their quest to feel better, they are quickly becoming acetaminophen toxic and doing liver damage to themselves.

Do you read the ingredient labels of all your medication to make sure you are not getting too much of any one chemical?

No, if it is over the counter, I just take it, and don't worry about what's in it.

I'm not really worried about acetaminophen toxicity because I rarely buy products that contain it. I just like to know what I'm buying and putting in my body.

I have food allergies, so I read the ingredients for every single thing that I put into my body including medication.

I picked the first one. I read labels on everything I get, making sure there are no adverse reaction to the other medications or supplements I'm currently taking.

I always take less than the "recommended" dosage unless its Midol but they make acetaminophen free Midol too

I do if I'm SUPER sick because I will basically push my limits of acetaminophen and make sure I fall short of it but I don't do it for too long (I usually don't stay sick long) so I don't mess up my liver.

I watch tylenol intake because I worry about this. The therapeutic and toxic doses are uncomfortably close.

My big issue when I was sick recently was trying not to double up on cough suppressants between my cold medicine and my cough lozenges.

Also, I prefer ibuprofen to acetaminophen as a pain reliever/fever reducer, so I try to make sure that my cold medicine either contains ibuprofen or doesn't have a pain reliever at all so I can just take an Advil separately if necessary.

I have so many chemical sensitivities & allergies that I read all the ingredients on EVERYTHING that comes into contact with my body - it's just habit.

Yes I do. I hate taking OTC meds so if I have to I want just what I need and not extra.

I know for sure I don't take anything with acetaminophen in it, but that's just because I rarely take OTC medicine. If I take anything it is ibuprofen. I don't like depending on medicine to get me through the day.
