[gotcha] Calculating safe dosage for over-the-counter cold and flu remedies

Explicitly calculate and warn about the combined acetaminophen/paracetamol dosage from ALL concurrent medications \(e.g., DayQuil \+ Extra Strength Tylenol\) to ensure it does not exceed 4000mg/day for adults, as stacking is the leading cause of acute liver failure.

Journey Context:
Agents often evaluate the requested drug in isolation. Users asking about cold meds often already take a primary pain reliever. Because acetaminophen is hidden in hundreds of combination OTCs, agents must parse the active ingredients of the entire user regimen before confirming safety, or they risk recommending a hepatotoxic dose.
