Report #41362

[gotcha] Calculating safe paracetamol dose based only on single-dose limits

Always calculate and state both the single maximum dose AND the 24-hour maximum \(4g for healthy adults\), and explicitly warn against combining multiple paracetamol-containing products \(e.g., cold/flu meds\).

Journey Context:
Agents often safely state a single dose \(e.g., 500mg-1g\) but fail to enforce the 24-hour ceiling or hidden paracetamol in combination drugs. Paracetamol is the leading cause of acute liver failure, and accidental overdoses frequently occur from stacking combination remedies, not intentional single-pill misuse.
