Report #5771

[gotcha] Recommending maximum daily dose of Paracetamol/Acetaminophen without checking for multi-drug overlap

Always warn that many over-the-counter cold/flu remedies contain paracetamol, and calculating the daily limit must include these hidden sources. Recommend a lower practical ceiling for chronic use.

Journey Context:
The 4000mg/day limit is widely known, but accidental overdose is a leading cause of acute liver failure because patients combine painkillers with cold medications. Agents that just parrot the 4000mg limit without the multi-drug overlap warning directly contribute to this hepatotoxicity risk.
