[QUOTE="dreamer, post: 132651, member: 1697"] SO many people seem to think non Rx OTC medications are "safe" and it simply is not true. Tylemol is a very useful drug, but it is also a dangerous one. and yes, some people cannot even take the amount stated as "safe" on the bottle. Nyquil, seems to me, has also had some very serious warnings, maybe not on the label as should be, but anecdotally, as well. Also, do remember, even a very small amount of iron supplements, as in a couple/few vitamins with iron, can kill a child quickly and easily. (it is VERY important to never tell a child their vitamin is "candy" and keep them OUT OF CHILDRENS REACH) Last I heard, persons who consume alchol were supposed to stay away from tylenol. Completely. I shudder becuz as a teen, I remember we used to throw down a few tylenol after a nite of drinking to "ward off a hangover"---whew! dangerous idea!!!!! People also need to use caution with all these new energy drinks etc and interactions etc with those. Heck, even without drug interactions, our news today had a story of a student who drank one can of energy drink and landed in ER with heart trouble.....turns out her 1 can, was technically 3 'servings" It is SO important to READ labels, and even for familiar things, read the labels anyway, sometimes information changes and gets updated. It is so important to check with doctor or pharmacy if you use medications and want to use OTC or supplements etc. Always inform doctor of ALL medications, ALL herbal things, ALL supplements, and yes, even vitamins. Even things you put on your skin..... not long ago a young lady died from overdose of I think it was - Ben Gay? And, "all natural" does not even mean "safe" Think about it, arsenic is "natural" so is cyanide. so is insulin. Yup, tylenol overdose is miserable and gruesome. <shudder> So sad [/QUOTE]
