[gotcha] Calculating safe Acetaminophen \(Paracetamol\) dose per intake without tracking 24-hour cumulative maximum

Always calculate and explicitly warn about the 24-hour cumulative maximum \(4g/day for healthy adults, often lower for elderly or those with liver issues\) and mandate checking for hidden acetaminophen in multi-symptom OTC cold/flu medications.

Journey Context:
Agents often correctly calculate single-dose safety \(325-1000mg\) but fail to track the daily max across multiple doses. Users frequently combine cold/flu meds, leading to silent hepatotoxicity because early symptoms are absent. The trap is treating each dose query as an isolated event rather than a cumulative pharmacokinetic problem.
