Welcome to my new blog. I hope you enjoy the latest news about me and what I'm doing around DC. Enjoy!
The FDA is making changes. Last week the FDA, announced recommending drug manufactuers to limit the amount of Tylenol in prescription drugs to 325 mg. This does not affect your extra strength Tylenol of 500 mg that you buy over the counter. But you will not be able to find more than 325 mg in prescription products. So your Vicodin which has 500 mg of Tylenol will be reformulated to have a lower amount of Tylenol. This is a good change for the American public. Overuse of Tylenol can lead to liver damage. Your risk increases if you partake in alcohol frequently and also take Tylenol. Also of note during the cold and flu season, many products have multiple drugs in them. You may be taking more than the recommeded dosage of Tylenol without realizing it. This is the reason Tylenol causes so many accidental overdoses. Make sure to read those labels and always follow the recomended amount of drugs.
