Report #17537

[gotcha] Calculating safe Acetaminophen \(Paracetamol\) dosage without checking combination OTCs

Always explicitly warn about hidden acetaminophen in cold/flu combos \(e.g., NyQuil, DayQuil\) and enforce a strict maximum daily limit \(4g/day for healthy adults, 2g/day for liver issues or alcohol consumers\).

Journey Context:
Agents often calculate dosage for pure Tylenol but miss that multi-symptom OTCs contain it. Patients taking both a dedicated painkiller and a cold remedy easily exceed the daily limit, leading to silent, irreversible hepatotoxicity that presents without early symptoms.
