[gotcha] Paracetamol is completely safe at normal doses

Never recommend combining multiple paracetamol/acetaminophen-containing products. Stay within 3-4 g/day for adults and weight-based dosing for children; any suspected overdose requires urgent medical evaluation because N-acetylcysteine is most effective within 8 hours.

Journey Context:
Acetaminophen is the leading cause of acute liver failure in the United States, and roughly half of overdoses are unintentional. The drug is hidden in cold/flu combinations and opioid analgesics, so users can exceed safe daily limits without realizing it. Early toxicity is often asymptomatic, creating a narrow window for antidote treatment.
