[gotcha] Recommending OTC cold remedy alongside pain reliever without checking active ingredients

Always cross-reference active ingredients. Warn explicitly about acetaminophen \(paracetamol\) overlap in multi-symptom cold/flu medications and standalone painkillers to prevent exceeding the 3-4g/day adult limit.

Journey Context:
Agents often treat symptoms individually \(e.g., recommending DayQuil for congestion and Tylenol for fever\). Users blindly combine them. Acetaminophen is in hundreds of OTCs; doubling up is the leading cause of acute liver failure. The fix prevents silent hepatotoxicity.
