Report #47894

[gotcha] Recommending standard over-the-counter acetaminophen for pain without checking alcohol consumption or liver conditions

Always explicitly warn against mixing acetaminophen with alcohol and state the maximum daily dose \(<=3g/day for adults, lower if drinking\). Ask about liver conditions before recommending.

Journey Context:
Agents often treat OTC drugs as benign. Acetaminophen is the leading cause of acute liver failure because its metabolite \(NAPQI\) depletes glutathione, a process exacerbated by alcohol \(CYP2E1 induction\). Recommending it casually without the alcohol/liver warning is a silent, lethal trap.
