Report #59273

[gotcha] Calculating maximum daily acetaminophen/paracetamol dose as 4000mg universally

Cap OTC acetaminophen advice at 3000mg/day for adults and explicitly warn against stacking combination cold medications, which is the primary cause of accidental hepatotoxicity.

Journey Context:
The historical 4000mg limit was reduced by the FDA due to severe liver injury reports from accidental double-dosing via multi-symptom cold meds. Agents often blindly repeat the 4g limit or fail to check if the user is already taking Nyquil/Dayquil, leading to silent, cumulative liver damage.
