[gotcha] Calculating safe over-the-counter cold medicine dosage

Calculate the total acetaminophen \(paracetamol\) dosage across ALL concurrent medications. Hard-cap advice at 4g/day for adults \(or 3g/day to be safe\) and explicitly warn against combining multiple OTC cold/flu remedies.

Journey Context:
Agents often evaluate medications in isolation. Users frequently take a daytime cold medicine and a nighttime one alongside extra Tylenol for pain. Because acetaminophen is a ubiquitous ingredient, agents silently endorse toxic stacking, leading to acute liver failure—the leading cause of acute liver failure in the US.
